NH - Boston/Globe Suffolk University Poll

[Torie]

Trump still ahead, but below 30%, Rubio in strong second place, Kasich in third by a bit, Cruz failing, Hillary within 9 points of Sanders. Here is the poll.

I will let someone else do the ministerial details of putting it up.

Here is a copy and past from RRH. Sanders ahead 50% to 41%.

Suffolk NH poll:
Trump 29
Rubio 19
Kasich 13
Jeb 10
Cruz 7
Christie 5
Carson 4

The Clinton hacks on here are unbearable....

Just for being happy that she has closed the gap a lot?  That seems rather ungenial of you. Folks tend to clap when things are blowing their way for their candidate of choice, and/or poorly for their bete noires. I am gloriously happy that my bete noire Cruz seems anemic in NH now. That was job one. Life is beautiful!

If Sanders is behind in a poll I look at the swing from their last poll. Yes I'm a Sanders supporter but I don't say great news and he's going to win if he's 9 points behind.

Yes, that the poll shows no change in the numbers from their last poll for the Hillary-Sanders numbers is reassuring to Bernie supporters that the poll may well be an outlier as compared to other polls of that race. Fair enough.

With how much Kasich and Jeb hate Trump, you'd think they'd want to drop out and endorse Rubio, which is the only way to stop him in NH. Ironically, it's probably the two guys who tried the hardest to stop him that will end up giving him the nomination.

Not if they drop out later. Bush needs to drop out before Florida however. The issue is where and when their staying in, causes Cruz or Trump to get more delegates than otherwise by splitting the vote. I am confident that everyone is aware of that.
