Poll: Trump jumps to second among N.H. Republicans

Poll: Trump jumps to second among N.H. Republicans

Real estate magnate and reality TV star Donald Trump has jumped to second place among New Hampshire Republicans, trailing only former Florida governor Jeb Bush in a new Suffolk University Poll.

Bush was supported by 14%, Trump by 11% in the survey of 500 likely GOP primary voters taken Thursday through Monday. They were followed by a dozen other contenders, almost all of them with more electoral and governmental experience than Trump, scoring single digits.

Still, the limits of Trump's appeal were apparent. Asked which candidates should be included on the debate stage — a cast that Fox News says will be limited to those at the top 10 of national polls — Trump finished 11th.

"It's the politics of plurality," says David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center. "Those who like him are voting for him, and although many more dislike him, the unfavorables are split up among many other candidates so it's not hurting him."

When she said she would consider voting for him. I've only seen her three times in more than a year after a 33 year estrangement. So I'm not sure how droll her sense of humor is and I'm afraid to enquire too much in case she isn't kidding! She has a PH.d and is generally very astute from what I can tell but people can be really weird when it comes to politics.

he makes Rmoney seem like Mother Theresa and therefore most likely will never for real run and would most likely foot in mouth himself into oblivion in a month anyway if he did.

He might be the clownyest motherfucker in the tightly packed tiny automobile.
