Jeb Bush narrowly leads the field in the state that will host the first primary of the 2016 presidential campaign, but Donald Trump’s gains in New Hampshire suggest the billionaire businessman is establishing a following there.
The new CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary poll finds Trump at 11%, just behind Bush at 16% in a wide open contest for the Republican nomination for president. Bush and Trump are followed by Rand Paul at 9%, Scott Walker at 8%, and Carly Fiorina and Marco Rubio, both at 6%. Ben Carson and Chris Christie each have 5% support.
As the low numbers at the top of the pack indicate, the field is far from settled. Twenty-one percent say they don’t know which of the 19 candidates in the poll they’d support and, overall, 75% say they’re not committed to any candidate.
