New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie surged to second place among New Hampshire Republicans in a poll released by Boston radio station WBUR on Friday, while Donald Trump maintained his lead in the key primary state.
Among Republican primary voters in New Hampshire, 27 percent support Donald Trump, 12 percent support Christie, 11 percent support Sen. Marco Rubio (FL), and 10 percent support Sen. Ted Cruz (TX).
Since WBUR’s poll released in November, Trump has risen three points, while Christie has jumped six points. Rubio has dropped two points and Cruz has gained two points in the past month.
In the December WBUR poll, 8 percent of Republican voters backed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, 7 percent backed Ohio Gov. John Kasich, and 6 percent backed Dr. Ben Carson. The retired neurosurgeon saw a six point drop since the November WBUR poll in New Hampshire.
MassInc Polling Group conducted the poll for WBUR, surveying 402 individuals likely to vote in the New Hampshire Republican primary. MassInc conducted the poll via phone Dec. 6-8 with a margin of error plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
Wow…it’s like he just appeared out of fat air.
How did that happen?
Can you imagine if Christie ended up being the Republican Party’s only hope to get out of this mess? That would be a lot for them to swallow.
Good. He’s not going to be the GOP nominee and he sure as hell is never going to be POTUS but a 3rd place for Rubio in an important primary is a mood setter. Rubio is the only threat the GOP has. Lets hope this happens.
interesting in that not only would he not carry new jersey in a presidential race but he would not carry any state in the northeast…go for it republicans
Jeebus, what a fucking race to the bottom!
