WMUR poll: Donald Trump surges to top of GOP primary field in NH
Source: WMUR
MANCHESTER, N.H. —For the first time in the 2016 Republican presidential primary campaign, there is a clear Granite State frontrunner. Business executive Donald Trump’s strong standing in national polls is also the case in first-primary state New Hampshire.
While there is still no clear frontrunner in the chaotic New Hampshire Republican presidential primary field, business executive Donald Trump has surged to within striking distance of the leader, according to a new WMUR/CNN Granite State Poll.
The latest WMUR Granite State Poll, released Monday, says Trump is the top choice of 24 percent of likely GOP primary voters, doubling the support of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who is backed by 12 percent. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, at 11 percent, is the only other candidate in double digits.
Not only has Trump surged to the head of the pack in New Hampshire, but also for the first time, he is now viewed favorably by more likely GOP primary voters than unfavorably. And, he is named as the candidate best able to handle key issues facing the nation, from the economy to terrorism, and from immigration to health care policy.
