Wow – Now we know why the GOPe is in full blown panic mode. The results from the latest WMUR/CNN Poll in New Hampshire (full pdf below) shows support for Ben Carson has fully collapsed, and Ted Cruz drops below John Kasich…. But it gets much, much worse for the establishment candidates.
The GOPe road map has totally collapsed in New Hampshire. All of the GOPe splitters are now left picking leftover scraps from those voters who are in the undecideds:
Trump has forced upon the GOPe the absolute nightmare scenario – “the splitters are splitting upon themselves”. Rubio, Bush and Christie combined cannot beat Donald Trump’s current level of support.
The millions spent by Team Kasich have garnered him a grand total of 7%; and the tens of millions spent by Jeb Bush only get him to 8%. The granite state electorate are fully engaged and they are seeing through the GOPe establishment schemes.
The New Hampshire voters are also seeing through the convenient flip-flops of Cruz and have identified the reality of Carson’s inability.

New York business executive Donald Trump not only continues to lead the Republican field, but his lead has grown significantly since late summer, with more likely primary voters than ever now saying they believe he will win the New Hampshire primary.
A new CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center also shows that Republican voters believe that by far, Trump stands the best chance among the GOP field to win the November 2016 general election and become president.
The poll, conducted from Nov. 30 to Dec. 7 among 402 likely Republican primary voters, also shows that in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernadino, California, half of Republican primary voters consider foreign policy and national security the issue most important to their votes. It is far ahead of jobs and the economy, now at 18 percent, and immigration at 12 percent.
The poll also show that U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida has moved into second place, but still with less than half of amount of support enjoyed by Trump.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie appears to have received a slight bump from his endorsements by the New Hampshire Union Leader and past and current legislative leaders. He has moved into third place, but is still in single digits at 9 percent, up from 5 percent he received in the previous CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary poll in September.
Trump now leads the field with the support of 32 percent of likely primary voters, followed by Rubio at 14 percent, with Christie at 9 percent, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 8 percent, Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 7 percent, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 6 percent, and former business executive Carly Fiorina and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson each at 5 percent. (read more)
