Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump pulled further ahead from the other candidates seeking the party’s nomination in a poll released Tuesday that surveyed likely GOP primary voters in New Hampshire.

The CNN/WMUR poll was conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.

Trump had the support of 32 percent of likely GOP primary voters, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) had 14 percent, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had 9 percent.

In September, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina fell to second place, with 16 percent of voters supporting her. Fiorina has the support of 5 percent of voters in the latest poll. Since the September survey, Trump has gained six points and Rubio has gained five points.

The poll surveyed 402 likely Republican primary voters for the poll from Nov. 30 to Dec. 7 by telephone. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

  1. New Hampshire always thought of itself as part of Germany in the 1930’s and still operates that way today. I think there are 3 Mosques and 7 Jewish houses of worship in the state of about 1 million+ people, so Jews and Muslims are a real threat to the majority Protestant Christians in a state of 9300 mountainous square miles, 300 square miles of which are lake water and rivers.

    This poll mentioned above was conducted BEFORE Trump wanted to ship those 230 refugees and 300 Muslim immigrants living in NH back to their homelands.

  2. If he takes Iowa and New Hampshire Reince Priebus will fall on his sword–or get one in the back.

  3. If Trump takes NH, Iowa and SC, the Republican Party will self destruct within ten seconds after that.
