Globe poll: Trump and Sanders see their leads slip, while Clinton and Rubio rise [View all]
Source: Boston Globe
Both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are seeing challengers push into their New Hampshire primary leads, according to a new poll from The Boston Globe and Suffolk University.
After a disappointing second place finish in the Iowa caucus, Trump maintained his lead over his Republican counterparts with 29 percent support. On his heels is Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida with 19 percent, a jump from the 10 percent support he had in the last Globe/Suffolk poll in late January.
Rubio’s rise comes at the expense of other candidates, though. Ohio Gov. John Kasich finished third in the poll with 13 percent, followed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 10 percent. Sen. Ted Cruz, fresh off a win at the Iowa caucus, comes in fifth place in the poll with single digits, just ahead of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ben Carson.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton has pulled to within single digits of Bernie Sanders in the Globe/Suffolk poll. The Vermont senator has the support of 50 percent of the New Hampshire voters sampled, while Clinton comes in with 41 percent.
