The final WMUR-CNN poll in New Hampshire shows that New York City businessman Donald Trump continues to hold a major lead and will be the likely victor Tuesday night. The poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire, shows Trump up with 31 percent support. Marco Rubio is second with 17 percent, and Ted Cruz is […]

Make no doubt about it, Hillary Clinton wants to perform well in Tuesday’s first-in-the-nation Democratic primary, where she made up ground in the polls in recent weeks against Bernie Sanders. Numerous Democrats from across the country have flocked to the Granite State in recent days to help turn out Clinton supporters on Tuesday. One of […]

Donald Trump leads in Florida, but Marco Rubio is in second place, according to a new poll from Florida Southern College. The survey found Trump maintains the top spot in Florida among registered Republican voters with 27 percent. Rubio is in second with 20 percent, followed by Ted Cruz at 12 percent and Ben Carson […]

Good morning from Nashua, New Hampshire, where snow is expected to hit New England again later Monday. We want to get a run in before things get uglier out there, so let’s right to the point after a full weekend of campaigning. Can Marco survive the Christie pummeling? Let’s face it: Unless every poll out […]

Watching the Sunday talk shows, if I didn’t “know” that Jeb Bush was considered washed up, I would have thought the other campaigns saw him as a real force in Tuesday’s balloting. On ABC’s “This Week,” both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio laid into Jeb. Trump countered Bush scoring points on him in a Saturday night debate exchange […]

What do Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush and some Florida lawmakers have in common? They’ve all said some pretty disturbing things recently about the use of military power. Hmmm. I guess I also should add Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio to the list. Start with Jeb. By now you’ve probably seen his latest cringe-worthy […]

Like his two fellow governors who are running for the Republican Party nomination for president, New Hampshire is a do-or-die state for Ohio Gov. John Kasich this Tuesday. Though winning seems out of the picture, a solid placing in the top three at least is crucial for Kasich, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie, which is […]

Perhaps it was because the promised pancake breakfast was canceled or that he was a half-hour late, but Marco Rubio‘s first appearance before New Hampshire voters was flat compared to other events in the Granite State the past week. Speaking less than 12 hours after his worst debate performance as a presidential candidate, Florida’s junior […]

ABC’s “This Week” featured the two GOP New Hampshire front runners, Donald Trump and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (in an exclusive interview), jockeying for position ahead of the Tuesday vote. ABC, which hosted Saturday night’s final GOP debate before the New Hampshire primary, promised coverage centered on the election. Trump led off, and clearly, as on “Face […]

It’s said that New Hampshire is the graveyard for pollsters; is it true for oddsmakers also? Sports Betting Dime laid odds for Donald Trump on the GOP side and Bernie Sanders on the Dem side, and Trump is “favored” by 13.5 and Sanders by 14.5 … a slightly more bearish read than most of the recent polls. Odds […]
