    You omitted some pertinent information , TPM.
    In NH Trump has 5 point lead over his closet rival ,while a month ago that lead was 16 points.
    In IA Trump has a 5 point lead over his closest rival, while a month ago that lead was 7 points.
    If this were HRC, the drop in the poll numbers would of been the focus of the piece.

  4. It’s interesting that Kasich’s support in NH is half of what it was a month ago. That’s a trend line I like. I don’t want to see him get the nomination… among other things, it would make taking Ohio more difficult. But, like Walker, his value proposition is more based on his resume than on his actual retail political skills as a candidate.
