New Hampshire Poll Shows Big Change at the Top

Sen. Marco Rubio appears to have gained some real momentum coming out of Iowa, where he beat expectations finishing a close third to Donald Trump and within a few points of the winner Sen. Ted Cruz.

According WHDH/UMass Lowell poll, Rubio has surged into second place with 15 percent ahead of Cruz at 14 percent, while Donald Trump maintains a commanding lead in the Granite State at 36 percent. Governors Jeb Bush and John Kasich, who have spent a lot of time in New Hampshire, polled 8 and 7 percent, respectively, with Gov. Chris Christie coming in at 5 percent.

A poll published on Monday by the same group ahead of the Iowa Caucus had Trump at 38 percent, Cruz at 12, Bush and Kasich at 9, Rubio at 8, and Christie at 7 percent.

Rubio’s 7 point rise in two days appears to be driven mostly by a loss of support for the three governors in the field, while Cruz likely gained 2 points by chipping away at Trump’s lead.
