Poll: Donald Trump nearly doubles lead in New Hampshire

Source: CNN

Donald Trump has a growing lead among likely primary voters in New Hampshire, and both he and Marco Rubio have gained ground in the state since September, according to a new CNN/WMUR poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.

Overall, 32% say they support Trump (up 6 points since September), with Rubio a distant second place with 14% (up 5 points). That 18-point lead is almost double the 10-point lead Trump held in September over businesswoman Carly Fiorina.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie holds third place in the new poll with 9%, followed closely by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (8%), Ohio Gov. John Kasich (7%), Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (6%), and both businesswoman Carly Fiorina and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 5%. Fiorina has dropped 11 points since the September poll.

I'm beginning to think the only determinant of Trump's success is whether he can actually turn out his supporters, not whether they'll drop away because of anything he says.

He's sucking but so is everyone else except for Chump. "Rising" (like a turd in a toilet bowl) Rubio's numbers are A LOT closer to Jeb!'s than they are to Chump's.

I didn't find them when I googled, or in the survey results reported here. They said they interviewed 369 Democrats but didn't report results.

Every group he insults just results in a boost in his ratings.

Per Morning Joe, a brokered convention that ignores the delegate count is probably the only thing that keeps Trump off the ballot at this point.

They have all gotten so weird I can't choose. I seriously mean that. Not that I would ever vote for any of them, but I used to be able to say that one candidate would be the lesser of the evils, but none of them running for the GOP stands out as the least offensive.
