Donald Trump’s new top rival is exploding in New Hampshire

Trump is tapping into the anger of the Republicans about immigration while Carson is focusing on his biography, covering his move from poverty in Detroit to becoming one of the world’s renowned neurosurgeons. Only 37 percent of respondents said their minds were made up in terms of choosing a candidate.

“We have a president who doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing”, Trump said.

Monmouth’s telephone poll from Thursday through Sunday of 415 likely New Hampshire GOP primary voters has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.8 percentage points. He recently cast doubt on the real estate mogul’s religious faith, questioning his “fear of the Lord”, then backed off the comment and would not repeat it.

“The rise of Carson and Trump suggests Bush, Rubio, et al. face a much steeper path than anticipated”.

For his part, Carson said today that he has no interest in engaging in a “gladiator” fight with Trump, and apologized again for having questioned Trump’s religious convictions.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s support has also slipped significantly, going from 10 percent in early August to just 2 percent.

The vast majority of Republican voters in the Granite State are seemingly uninterested in established politicians – Monday’s poll showed that 68% of Republican voters preferred the next candidate to come from outside of government.

Behind Bush are former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Florida Sen. They are evidence that the media has less to do with Donald Trump’s popularity than many conservative pundits have claimed. While he is leading the pack with 24 percent support from Republican voters, followed by 18 percent for Dr. Ben Carson, 6 percent for both Jeb Bush and Sen. She’s now polling at 42 percent, marking the first time she’s fallen under 50 percent in the series of Washington Post/ABC News polling.

Donald Trump continued to fire shots at his GOP presidential opponent Ben Carson on the campaign trail on Saturday, after the two began sparring in recent days.

But Carson, made the largest leap in the standings since the last CBS/New York Times poll in mid-July, before the Aug.6 Fox news debate.

“You’ll take a company like, I could say Macy’s or I could say many other companies, where they put in their friends as the head of the company and they get whatever they want“, he said.

“Whereas Trump is tough, Carson is gentle”. Ben Larsen, who drove three hours from Blair, Nebraska, to see candidates, shook Walker’s hand and smiled, though he later said, “I’m more a Rubio guy”.
