A new statewide New Hampshire poll reveals Donald Trump holding a significant lead over his Republican opponents with 35% of the vote. Jeb Bush surprisingly takes second with 18%, and John Kasich finishes third with 14%. The rest of the field included Marco Rubio at 9%, Ted Cruz at 8%, and Chris Christie getting 5%, despite a last-minute endorsement from the Boston Herald. Among Democratic primary voters, Sanders holds a steady lead over Clinton of 52% to 44%.

Cruz tanks?
no way. no way ever.
No way Bush polls that high, someone’s lying.
That’s just the problem....NH picked Romney and McCain. The momentum those two got there propelled them to the nomination. How did that work for us? That’s why I say that it’s bad news if Jeb and Kasich have strong showings there.
I call bullshit on this one. Nothing has happened to change the numbers as radically as noted in this article in favor of Bush, or negatively enough for Cruz.
Bullshit, or I should say Elephant shit.
We don’t need your noob trolling on this forum, take it somewhere else.
Most confusing poll I’ve ever saw and not to be believed.
Jeb Bush is not surging. Below is a much more reliable poll.
CNN/WMUR 2/4 - 2/8
Trump 31
Rubio 17
Cruz 14
Kasich 10
Bush 7
Not too surprising, it’s an eastern, country-club state, wouldn’t expect a Texan or ANY real person to do well there.Jeb is really from that area. So is Trump.
Cruz crash
[Bush in second place?????????]
Don’t be surprised, the media including Fox, have been constantly promoting the idea that the ‘undecided’ in NH has to be considered in the polls.
The folks in NH should be insulted they are being portrayed so slow witted that they would faint from hunger trying to decide what to put on their lists for weekly groceries.
This is good though. Better yet if Kasich comes in 2nd, Jeb/Rubio 3rd, and Cruz 5. Puts Trump comfortably in driver’s seat for SC and sets him up nicely for MI as Kasich stays in until then as he’s a regional candidate.
CNN more reliable?
Emerson nailed the Iowa Caucus.
This CNN poll is from before the debate.
Rubio imploded and his supporters went to Bush.
Dead cat bounce...
Reagan lost Iowa, won New Hampshire.
No candidate who lost both has ever won the nomination.
In a related story, pigs flew and the horse talked.
In 1992 Perot was leading among the three candidates. All of a sudden CNN, which was the only cable news network at the time, started showing him in third place. Perot’s campaign manager called CNN and asked them if they had changed the question or something. He was told they stopped counting those who had not voted in the previous election. That was basically Perot’s base.
So, the polls can be rigged anytime they want and a certain percentage will vote depending on poll numbers.
This post has nothing to do with whether or not Perot was a nutcase. It’s about “surprise” poll numbers.
I have said for years that polls are used to get us to accept the fraud they are about to pull on us.
If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it."
Mark Twain -
This election season has already proven to be “historic”. Non-establishment candidates on the right and nothing but dried up old white communists on the left.
Conventional wisdom just may be off the table this time around.
Exactly. These numbers are great.
Trump is the only candidate competitive nationwide.
The others are all regional candidates who might pick up a few delegates but will never win the nomination.
Here’s why the poll is BS.
Volatility also characterized the GOP race during this same period. Trump skidded from 37% on Thursday to 22% on Saturday.
What happened Thurs to Saturday for Trump to drop 15 pts.
Total bogus, unadulterated BS.
