CNN poll: Trump continues to lead, Fiorina now second in New Hampshire

While Trump may have a firm hold on the lead spot, “29 percent of GOP voters say they “would definitely not support” him, according to the poll. Marco Rubio over former two-term Gov. Jeb Bush as their presidential nominee.

The idea that Ted Cruz is going to vacuum up most of Trump’s support once he’s gone simply isn’t true, although it may be true if Carson’s already gone by that point too. Rand Paul of Kentucky is at 3 percent. Not only is he still only drawing 1 percent support, his personal unfavorables have jumped over the Summer from 40 percent negative to 53 percent negative. Rick Santorum, former New York Gov. George Pataki and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

Only 6 percent of the voters polled were undecided.

Campaigns aren’t always won by the candidate who can best address voters’ issues, but the candidate who can make the voters care most about the issue that drives their campaign. Bush follows at 16 percent, with Fiorina at 9 percent.

When the participants were asked if they had a realistic vision of Trump becoming the next President of the United States, 69 percent answered “no”. The same is true for Fiorina, at 14% with women versus 11% with men.

With all the attention given to the Democratic Party at Guilford, we must also look into the Republican Party.

Christie’s path to the nomination has always included a good showing in New Hampshire.
