Donald Trump continues to hold a wide lead among likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire, according to a new CNN/WMUR tracking poll, with the pack vying for second place is beginning to break up.
Behind Trump's field-leading 29% support, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio climbs to second place with 18% following his strong third place finish in Iowa, followed by Ted Cruz (13%) and John Kasich (12%) in a near-tie for third. Jeb Bush holds fifth place at 10%, a hair behind Cruz and Kasich, with Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina well behind at 4% each. The fight for second place between Cruz, Rubio and Kasich remains within the survey's margin of sampling error.
The poll was conducted entirely after the Iowa caucuses.

I just had an awful thought. If the split is 20 - 40 - 40 or 30 30 40, between Rubes, Cruz and Trump...
Then we could see Trump doing a ‘Deal’ to push Rubes over the line given the bad blood between Trump and Cruz.
One of Trump’s kids wants the department of the Interior...
—John Kasich (12%)-—
Why...?
NH have a soft spot for mailman…?
You are, of course, correct.
Trump's Gucci's are not large enough to hold his water, should the evil-eye Megyn goes after him.
Cruz is the most popular Republican in the country. Trump not so much.
Invite the world, bomb the world type of guy.
Yeh that’s going to happen. LOL!
NH votes Dem in the general so some of the voters are probably Democrats trying to pick the worst possible GOP candidate for the general. That’s why we get McCain, Romney, Trump and good showings for other RINOs here.
Compare polls from the same outfit from all the others that they completed. A better baseline.
WMUR (RINOs) usually low ball Trump and they did here. The Margin of Error (MOE) must be pushing about +- 10% here. They only polled ‘209’ people - that’s bad. They got their desired result to push Rubio.
WMUR 2/2 - 2/4 209 LV
WMUR 1/27 - 1/30 409 LV
he debate will be moderated by David Muir and Martha Raddatz with WMUR political director Josh McElveen.
No MyGyn this time.
It wasn’t Megyn-phobia. But, you know that already.
Who would get Rubio’s supporters though.
No doubt Rubes is surging.
No doubt that WMUR polled 200 people less than they did only a few days ago.
“Cruz is the most popular Republican in the country”
Yeah, ok.
Tomorrow Cruz will have a continent named after him.
Cruz moved ahead of Kasich into third. Rubio moved up and Trump is moving down. It is time for Trump to drop out and let Cruz and Rubio fight it out.
Not a bad idea - for Reagan.
I live in North Reagan!
With a 11% lead? Not hardly.
Iowa picks losers, just ask Huckabee and Santorum and Mondale.
Besides you’ve forgotten already the dirty tactics of lying and intimidation by the holier-than-thou dirty politician.
No proven impact on the outcome, but thanks for playing.
