With four days until New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary, the Republican contest is tightening at the top and churning in the middle as one third of likely Republican voters say they could still change their mind, according to a new Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll released Friday.

I don’t think Cruz will win in the Socialist North.
Yup, Trump still whining about Iowa and Ted Cruz is hurting him and the Amnesty Pimp Rubio is benefiting greatly. Prepare yourself for Rubio win in NH. The Trump will whine about Rubio cheating in NH.

So, you’re leaning for an open borders guy. Then kiss your country goodbye - you fool.
So, you’re all for open borders and giving away what’s left of our republic to illegals? Not to mention, the guy can’t handle money and you want him in charge of this economy? What kind of a fool are you?
That is was one of Cruz's few, if not only, states won?
There is no way Cruz is only at 7 in the poll. And I’m not a Cruz guy. I’m of the opinion that I don’t know what to believe polls wise. You have 2 tracking polls, ARG and UMass Lowell that have Trump in the mid 30’s. And Rubio in mid teens. The media polls have Trump at 29 and Rubio pushing 20. Now who knows what is what? The media and the GOPe is pushing the narrative that Rubio is surging and Trump is fading. Will the narrative become reality? Who knows. They will do anything to take him out. It’s up to the voters to decide. Trump is supposed to be in NH Sat-Tues so hope that is enough to close the deal.
The GOPe game continues unabated. Pouring money into BOTH Rubio and Cruz in Iowa. Now on to NH. These little f’ers have this whole thing mapped out, only fly in their ointment is Trump, as anyone with 1/2 a brain recognizes.
They’ll do everything they can to get their damn amnesty/cheap labor, turning the entire country into CA.
I hope Christie continues to get louder and louder and smacks Rubio around -
The GOPe are such worms, doing the same damn thing the libs did in 2008 - toss up a ‘1st in the nation’ bull**** with the clean and articulate Cuban, who has NO record...I’ve seen this play before, and I cannot believe posters here actually say they’d be ok with Rubio! SMH
Honest to God, one of the factors that swung me over to Rubio from Cruz was the rudeness/nastiness of so many of his supporters here, because it shone a spotlight on Cruz' own major weakness. And the rudeness of Trump supporters would have done the same if I had't crossed him off the list at the outset for being too liberal on other issues. So whichever of those two you support, well-done. Your ilk lost him at least one vote.
Rubio is not "open-borders", though I strongly disagreed with his Gang of Eight stance. But in choosing among a set of flawed candidates, compromises have to be made. So, I just hope that he learned his lesson on that issue, because I think he's good otherwise, and the other guys are even more flawed.
On immigration specifically, I don't Trust Trump as far as I can throw him. I think he'll end up being even worse than Rubio.
And if Cruz wasn't such a jerk to everyone who disagrees with him, wasn't so consistently condescending, and had a single ounce of true humility in him, he'd have gotten my support. As it is, voters sense that stuff. I think he is unelectable, and wouldn't be able to accomplish much even if he did win.
But please, keep up the name-calling. It'll just make it that much easier for people to see the problem with the guy.
The only way Rubio wins NH is for the voting to be rigged. He has Microsoft on his side so there’s a real possibility of that happening.
All anyone has heard in the media since Iowa is Rubio SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE. Keep it real close so Microsoft computers can win it for Rubio.
This is done to influence voters. The media despises Trump and Cruz, so they will go all out in NH to make sure Rubio wins.
If the election is rigged and he wins, after trailing by 20 points a week ago Trump and Cruz are finished. The establishment will once again have their puppet and this country is all but history. Learn how to speak Spanish, because it’ll be Rubio or Hillary Clinton sitting in the White House and they are indistinquisable on illegal immigration and wanting to tear down the borders.
So it’s over if Trump does not win SC. And it’s rigged to high heaven.
"Solid as a rock" is not going to be enough for Trump in the long-run. 25-35% won't win him the nomination, especially once other candidates start dropping out (and, based on most polling, their supporters flow to candidates other than Trump).
Another poll will come out by Monday showing the race a toss up between Trump and Rubio. That’ll get enough “undecideds” to vote for Rubio, then Microsoft computers will get him the win. That’s exactly how it’ll shake out. The establishment will once again screw the voters and once again offer a sacrificial lamb to the democrats. Goodbye America.
Read the deep background on Rubio and his college friends. He is compromised like Roberts. Time to wake up.
Ten point spread is “closing in!” Okay. The media are shameless.
Oh my, you are sadly mistaken. Rubio - just the other day- gave a speech in Spanish and he is still an open borders buy - and then when he gives one in English - it’s the opposite. Yeah, things get nasty around here - but, it’s politics - it’s the nature of the beast. Its as the same here between Newt and Romney supporters too. Politics is a rough-and-tumble-dirty game and Rubio’s people are just as nasty. There aren’t many on this forum, however, because Rubio blows in the wind like a weather vane - whoever puts money in his pocket - that’s the positions he takes. Do your homework. Besides, neither Trump or Cruz will miss your vote, however, you will be giving us obama 2.0 if Rubio gets elected. Congratulations! You might as well vote for Bernie or Hillary if you plan to vote for Rubio.
Yeah, that was him. You know, I at least understand where Cruz supporters are coming from on that issue. Trump supporters...not so much. I think you guys are in for a real surprise on that issue if Trump wins the nomination.
Just don't say you weren't warned.
Cruz 7. OMG, he’s going to fall off the stage by the next debate.
I'm mistaken? You're making this too easy.
Check the date on that statement you claim Rubio made in Spanish "just the other day" on immigration. I think you'll find that was a statement made not "just the other day", but way back in 2013. Which I suppose is technically "another day", but clearly not what you meant.
Delegate count to date: Cruz 8, Trump 7, Rubio 7, Carson 3, Bush 1, Paul 1!!!!
