Trump a Contender in NH

Poll shows surge for The Donald

Donald Trump may be seen as a long shot for the Republican presidential race, and he may be sneered at by many, but in New Hampshire they like him, at least according to a just-released Suffolk University poll reported on by The Wall Street Journal:

The poll of 500 likely GOP presidential primary voters found 14% back Mr. Bush. Mr. Trump is right behind at 11%. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio come next, with 8% and 7%, respectively. The poll tested 19 GOP candidates – a rare survey that included ultra-longshots like Mark Everson and former Govs. Bob Ehrlich and Jim Gilmore.

Trump announced his intention to seek the nomination last week; he formally filed paperwork on Monday.

The poll also has some good news for Marco Rubio and his campaign.

The candidate with the largest gap between favorable and unfavorable ratings is Mr. Rubio, at 61% favorable to 14% unfavorable. Mr. Rubio was also chosen as the second choice by 13% of poll respondents. Mr. Bush was the second-choice pick of 14% of those surveyed.

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4%.
