New Hampshire poll finds Trump ahead, Rubio gaining


Despite his loss in Iowa, Donald Trump still holds a double-digit lead in New Hampshire, according to a new poll released Friday, though Marco Rubio is gaining ground on him.

Trump has 30% support to Rubio's 17%, according to the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist survey taken after Monday's caucuses in Iowa.

Ted Cruz, the Iowa winner, is third in the new New Hampshire poll at 17%.

He was followed by John Kasich (10%), Jeb Bush (9%), and Chris Christie (4%).

New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary is Tuesday.

"Last week – before the results in Iowa, where Cruz finished first and Rubio third – Trump was at 31 percent, Cruz 12 percent, Rubio 11 percent, Kasich 11 percent, Bush 8 percent and Christie 7 percent."
