Default Trump stays on top...

Public Policy Polling released new survey results this morning out of
New Hampshire, the nation’s first primary state.

1. Donald Trump: 35%
2. John Kasich: 11%
3. Carly Fiorina: 10%
4. Jeb Bush: 7%
4. Scott Walker: 7%
6. Ben Carson: 6%

Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio each have 4% support in the
poll, while Rand Paul is now in 10th place with 3%.

Note, Jeb Bush has long been seen as the likely frontrunner in the
Granite State, but if PPP is correct, at this point, Trump’s support in
New Hampshire is now five times greater than the former governor’s.
Adding insult to injury, only 38% of GOP primary voters in the state
have a favorable opinion of Bush, while 41% have a negative impression.

Trump’s 35% is the strongest showing of any Republican in any New
Hampshire poll this year. His New Hampshire support, at least for now,
is roughly equivalent to the support for Bush, Walker, and Rubio
combined – times two.

Also this morning, a new Monmouth poll is out, showing the Republicans’
standing in South Carolina, the nation’s second primary state. Maybe it
will offer better news for the GOP establishment waiting for Trump Mania
to end? Maybe not.

1. Donald Trump: 30%
2. Ben Carson: 15%
3. Jeb Bush: 9%
4. Marco Rubio: 6%
4. Carly Fiorina: 6%
6. Ted Cruz: 5%

Scott Walker and Lindsey Graham are tied for seventh place in the poll
with 4% each. Note, this is Graham’s home state.

What’s especially striking about Trump’s support is how broad it is: he
leads among South Carolina Republicans who describe themselves as “very
conservative,” “somewhat conservative,” and “moderate to liberal.”
Despite his general secularism, the New York real-estate developer also
leads among evangelical Christians, picking up 33% of their support.

The Donald. Love it. And Jebbie is sliding down the pole into the abyss.
