New Globe poll shows Rubio closing in on Trump in N.H.
Boston Globe ^ | Feb 5 2016 | Boston Globe

Front-runner Donald Trump holds a nearly 10 percentage point lead over his rivals in New Hampshire’s Republican primary race, but Senator Marco Rubio is closing the gap in the final days, according to a new poll released Friday.

Twenty-nine percent of voters surveyed said they backed Trump, and Rubio of Florida took second place with 19 percent. That’s the highest level of support Rubio has shown in any public survey since Trump entered the race in the summer.

We need the Constitution and the Union both. To divide the States up into regional authorities destroys the power of the western world for a long, long, time.

He's a corny capitalist cheap labor express puppet.

I'm afraid he's much worse than that.

Cruz is only fifth in NH.

NH is ideal for Trump, and terrible for Cruz. With specific regard to those two, I don’t expect NH to tell us much.

I am not going to continue to live in a constitutional dictatorship. Screw that, if a state or group of state secedes I'm moving there. I am not going to be a subject of Federal tyranny for some concept of a union.

No, Rubio is an Establishment puppet so his VP will be dictated by his masters. Likely an elder, to off-set his youthful age and Cruz is his exact same age. Texas goes to GOP anyway.

Perhaps Fatso, but is his popularity sufficient to carry NJ?

Is Kasich’s enough to carry Ohio?

Gilmore’s sufficient to bring home VA?

Sanitarium can’t carry PA.

Since Ted can’t win NH, I’d LOVE to see Rubio catch Trust Fund Donnie! Then we’ll be down to two serious people: Cruz and Rubio. And may the best man - who I strongly believe to be Cruz - win!

"RINO-Rush: 'Rubio is a full throated conservative!'"

Yes, Rush is a RINO. Mark Levin is a RINO. Steve King is a RINO. Tony Perkins, Glenn Beck, Rick Perry, Louis Goehmert...RINOS ALL I tell you!

The REAL Republicans and conservatives are guys like Bob Dole, Rudy Guiliani, Trent Lott, and of course, Jimmy Carter. Guys who support the candidate who spend the first 95% of his life advocating leftists positions, contributing to Democrats and trying to evict old ladies from their homes to build casino parking lots.

Got it.

Hank

Cruz in 5th at 7%. Interesting

Actually, it's par for the course. A caucus win in Iowa generally doesn't translate to a NH win. However, a fifth place showing or being far below the top two does much to mute any momentum. If establishment candidates finish higher than Cruz, the media fawning will be difficult for Cruz to overcome. He will need to overperform greatly in SC to get the mo back. And with Trump's numbers there and Rubio's potential for momentum there, it makes it will be a challenge.

That graphic is hilarious! Kasich AND Bush Beating St. Cruz? hahahahahhaha!

Cruz is in the noise in NH. Who cares if he goes after Rubio? How is his ‘racist’ meme going to work going after Rubio?

Let’s see, Rubio has perfect or near-perfect scores from the NRA, pro-life groups, Heritage Action, ACU, and every other conservativr organization.

Do you want Rubio making Supreme Court appointments, or Hillary? It is really that simple.

Cruz is very much in contention in SC and beyond. Upcoming states very favorable.

I don’t want Rubio giving the Democrats a permanent majority with his amnesty plans, it’s that simple.

Neither one.

I must admit. I'm flawed. I accept that most others are, too.

It must be wonderful to have nothing in your past that was less than perfection.

Rubio is a nothing. What has he accomplished? He is a huge supporter of amnesty, admitting Syrians (that included many ISIS members according to warnings from Europe). He is incapable of running this country. He has not run anything except speed talk through question for which he has memorized or been given answers.

Rubio would destroy this country if not by intent than by his incompetence. We already have a presidents who lacks credentials and has revealed how this mistake should be avoided again.

Rubio's parents were not citizens at time of this birth. This alone would lead to enormous litigation that would for years create chaos and could go either way. Why risk this for such an empty suit?

Who would want Rubio for president? Those who push for amnesty and more radical Muslims in the U.S. Those who want to destroy the natural born citizen part of the Constitution. And the special interests who control Rubio.
