In New Hampshire, Donald Trump has more than triple the support of any other Republican
Say what you want about Donald Trump, but there's no denying he's obliterating his GOP presidential competition in the polls in New Hampshire.
Trump has run away with the lead in Public Policy Polling's latest survey of New Hampshire, where he has more than tripled up on his closest Republican competitor in the state, John Kasich. Trump clocks in at a massive 35 percent, with Kasich at a distant 11 percent. Carly Fiorina polls next at 10 percent, with 7 percent each for Jeb Bush and Scott Walker. When PPP last surveyed New Hampshire in April, Trump, Kasich, and Fiorina weren't even included in the poll. Since then, Walker suffered the worst plunge, dropping from 24 percent to 7 percent.
