A new poll From Franklin Pierce (full pdf below) on behalf of the Boston Herald shows Donald Trump gaining an additional 5 points in the past week. Trump now dominates the New Hampshire polling with 38%, Ted Cruz with 13% and Bush/Rubio with 10% each.
In addition, almost 60% of New Hampshire voters now see Donald Trump as inevitable Republican Presidential Nominee:
BOSTON HERALD – […] Trump has a massive 25-point advantage over his nearest rival Cruz while Sanders has grown his lead over Clinton to a 57-37 percent margin , according to the poll of likely Granite State primary voters conducted Jan. 26-30.
Trump now gets 38 percent of the vote in New Hampshire - up from 33 percent a week ago = while Cruz has stalled at 13 percent, according to the poll of 439 likely GOP primary voters.
Rubio and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush are getting 10 percent, while Ohio Gov. John Kasich has dropped to fifth place at 8 percent, according to the poll. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, businesswoman Carly Fiorina and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul are winning just 5 percent support, the poll shows.
Trump's popularity has remained steady in the Granite State, with 56 percent of GOP voters saying they hold a favorable view of the billionaire business mogul. (read more)
NH is a yankee state and they will not primary for anybody but a northerner.
That’s a good idea.
I come from Iowa, and when I was younger I loved being first to caucus, because for at least a few months every four years we were something more than flyover country that could be ignored and dismissed by the media.
Now that I’m older and have lived in some different states, I’d like every state, at least the smaller ones, to get a chance to shine too.
Microsoft Bing Elections predicts, as of this post time, Trump will win the first 4 states: Iowa 40%, NH 40%, SC 44%, and Nevada 40%. Bing had a better than 95% accuracy in the 2014 mid-term. It could be a Trump Tsunami in the making!

That, jobs, and colorful candor.
You’re like a dark cloud on every Trump thread... Who are you for?
Thank you, Vet!
Several say Jeff Sessions goes on the ticket as VP, or leads the Senate as Majority Leader.
I love Sessions, the sage of the senate.
Thank you so much.
If really want to shake things up: the first five or six state primaries (or caucuses) should be changed every presidential cycle.

I like that idea! .....What would happen if CA was the first primary and had to deal with over a dozen candidates splitting the votes, instead of being a late voting State when it’s only a couple of candidates? Do the same with NY. Then let the large flyover States and the South do their voting. ....It would probably change the usual outcomes.
You mean Hillary?
Lmao
