Another day, another early state poll released.

Celebrity tycoon Donald Trump was the top choice of likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters on the morning on the second GOP debate at 22 percent, according to a poll from WBUR, Boston’s NPR station.

But retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, who polled at 18 percent, was within the margin of error in the Granite State.

The poll, conducted among 404 likely Republican voters from Sept. 12 to 14, had a margin of error of 4.9 points.

Former technology executive Carly Fiorina polled third at 11 percent.

While no other candidates reached double digits, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich came close at 9 percent each.
