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.
The New Hampshire poll comes on the heels of CNN/ORC surveys in Iowa and nationally both showing Trump with growing leads over the rest of the GOP field. The poll was conducted almost entirely before Trump issued a policy statement calling for a temporary ban on allowing Muslims who are not U.S. citizens to enter the country.
Nearly 6-in-10 likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters now say they think Trump is most likely to win the GOP primary in the state, up 19 points from 40% saying so in September. No one else is in double-digits on this question. Looking ahead to the general, 34% think Trump has the best shot to win the White House, 17% say Rubio does, 7% say Christie and 6% Bush.
I hope he wins so the pc whiners will start acting up again. They'll be so offended who know what they might do like right a blog or make a petition to ban a yoga class
Trump winning will honestly make America great again because people will realize how stupid they were to vote him in, and finally get their **** together.
Even though Hillary Clinton is going to win this presidency thanks to Trump's outright slander against minorities, it is worrisome for the future of the Republican Party and a large enough chunk of American society to be so gung-ho. The establishment clearly hates all of this but there are going to be some very angry people when Trump finally fails them..
him winning the nomination is letting the democratic nominee (hillary) slide right into the presidency. let it happen, dummy republicans
It would be pretty close, IMO.

there is an almost even divide among those who have an unfavorable opinion of both Trump and Clinton: 45% say they dislike Clinton more; 42% dislike Trump more.

That has like nothing to do with this thread at all. You should find something productive to do instead of crying about "SJWs" all the time on the Internet.
It won't be close because Hillary will actually crush him in the general. When it comes to who will win the presidency, trustworthiness and likeability won't be a factor. Hillary has this. The more Trump says something stupid, the more they will use this come next year. Especially if the ISIS mess calms down, Trump will have no advantage. Most of the Republicans won't.
I can't believe people are actually voting for him after the stuff he's said in the past few days and pretty much overall.
