New Hampshire poll: Trump 24%, Bush 12%
Another new poll out of New Hampshire indicates that Donald Trump's recent dust-up with John McCain has not slowed the billionaire's political momentum.
Trump now has a 2-to-1 advantage over Jeb Bush among likely voters in New Hampshire's Republican primary, according to a Monmouth University Poll.
The New York businessman has 24% to Bush's 12%, with John Kasich and Scott Walker tied for third at 7%.
“The controversy over comments about John McCain’s war service do not appear to have slowed the Trump steamroller,” said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, N.J.
The poll also shows continuing momentum for the newest member of the Republican presidential race, Kasich. This is the second poll this week in which the Ohio governor has hit 7%; he was much closer to 1% before his formal announcement last week.
The top four in New Hampshire are followed by Marco Rubio (6%), Ben Carson (5%), Rand Paul (5%), Chris Christie (4%), Carly Fiorina (3%) and Ted Cruz (3%). Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal and George Pataki each get 2%, while Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Lindsey Graham and Jim Gilmore have 1% support or less.
Another 14% of likely primary voters are undecided, Monmouth reports.
