    Well, hey, it's even in this article...

    While Mr. Trump is experiencing a bump in popularity after announcing the launch of his campaign last week (he filed formal Federal Elections Commission paperwork Monday), he remains the most disliked GOP candidate in the field. Suffolk found he is the only GOP candidate with a net unfavorable rating in New Hampshire — 37% of those surveyed had a favorable opinion of Mr. Trump, compared to 49% who had an unfavorable view.

    As for that other poll (I assume you mean the WSJ/NBC one), it's national, not New Hampshire. And it's still here somewhere. If you want to discuss it, the thread should still be right near the top of this subforum.
    I just find it humorous that you nit-pick polls to sell your narrative.

    Funny how the same liberals who (quite rightly) run around talking about how skewed and misleading Fox is then turn around and troll us with the blatherings of another Murdoch property--just as though Murdoch isn't Murdoch, and the one is any more trustworthy than the other.

    The funny thing is, this is the first poll I've ever seen that is specifically designed to drag the adult children up from the basement, and look who didn't win...

    Trump has had a lot of people on the ground in NH for a while now. I think he's had people there every cycle, and this time they felt good enough about their internal numbers to give it a go.

    The poll has Rand Paul at 4%. I find that highly suspicious
    I am not surprised to see him get an announcement bump.

    "The poll of 500 likely GOP presidential primary voters...". Where did they find the 500, at a Jeb Bush campaign rally. Jeb's numbers is what I find highly suspicious.

    Candidates generally get a bump right after they announce. On the other side, it's like Hillary dropped off the face of the earth because people can't get enough of Bernie Sanders.

    Not really. - Breakdown of respondents:
    18-34: 18,8% (of which just 3,2% are under 25)
    35-54: 38%
    55+: 41,8%

    65% Landline. At 29%, Undecided leads the poll.

    I do not think these results matches reality at all. Who has landline anymore? Same pollster had Rand at 7% in march, with fewer total candidates included. So he is down, (naturally since there are more candidates to choose from) but he did not do great in the March poll either, compared with other polls done at the same time.

    This poll, however, has A LOT of information. The accompanying PDF-file has 448 pages!

    Rand's numbers:
    18-34: 12%
    35-44: 7%
    45-54: 2%
    55+: 1%

    Total: 4,2% or 21 people out of 500.

    More things you supposedly can learn from this poll:

    Almost all people selecting Paul as second choice have Jeb Bush, Donald Trump and George Pataki as their 1st choice. (WTF!)

    Most of the Paul supporters select Donald Trump, then Christie and Cruz as their 2nd choice. (WTF!)

    Christie and Trump however, are viewed unfavorably by a large majority of Paul supporters.

    A slim majority of Paul supporters view Bush favorably.

    A large majority of Paul supporters view Carson, Cruz, Rubio, Walker favorably

    Cruz, Rubio and then Walker supporters are the ones that view Rand most favorably.

    Bush, Fiorina and Christie supporters view Rand least favorably.

    1/3rd of Paul supporters support raising taxes to reduce the deficit. Only Bush supporters are more supportive of this. (excluding candidates with fewer than 10 "votes")

    57% of Paul supporters consider themselves tea-party. Only Cruz had a higher %.

    Bush, Rubio, Walker, Paul were the candidates most people wanted to see in the debates. About 50% of people who viewed Paul unfavorably still wanted him in the debates.

    If you just poll the people who view Paul favorably the results would be:

    Bush - 11%
    Trump - 11%
    Walker - 9%
    Paul - 8%
    Rubio - 8%

    Oh no, not this again...I heard this in 2008 and again in 2012, and now again leading up to 2016.

    The hidebound GOP primary voter base, especially in NH, is almost pathologically addicted to losing.

    Rand is in the only candidate who beats Hillary in critical swing states like Ohio, and yet here they go again, getting ready to nominate another tired re-tread, establishmentarian, loser.

    They didn't even bother polling Hillary vs Rand, even though Rand is polling best against her.

    The poll is an outlier. Initially I thought it was one of those where they just ask "who do you want 4 prez" instead of listing candidates - where everybody says "Bush" or "Dunno". But they did list the candidates. Anyhow, I will believe it when other NH polls by a different company confirm it. It's not like it is manipulated against Rand, but it's just that it's methodology is strange and the results doesn't fit other polling.

    Other NH polls have him at 7-12%. If he have dropped to 4%, then he should be polling at 2% nationally, since NH always has been one of his stronger states. If true - why? His tax plan was well recieved, and got more good press than bad. His Patriot act bravery may have cost him soft support and favorability among republicans, but I think it upped his hard support among some conservative republicans and libertarians. And increased his general election numbers.

    Trump has name recognition, same as Bush, and it helps early on. But Trump should not be underestimated.

    Trump responds nimbly to what people want to hear, and if his position on guns becomes a problem he will adjust.

    Guys, if you really think Donald Trump is currently the second place preference of New Hampshire Republicans,
    I have the proverbial bridge on Mars to sell you.
    It's all nothing but a put-on, this entire "election" is orchestrated by the elite who control and own the
    media and the election methods. It's all fake, and the polls are more fake than ever.

    Bush, Walker, Rubio, and Trump are the chosen acceptable choices. One of them will win the nomination.
    Rand will finish in 4th-6th place, and he won't be selected for VP either.
    Bush and Clinton are the only two choices acceptable to the world elite.
    It matters not to them which wins, so they might allow the Americans to choose which
    of those two is the next president. Both are 100% accomodated to false flags and World War III.
    There is no future for this country at all.
    I would suggest placing your energies into leaving the U.S. or at least preparing for survival.

    I agree. But if he's still polling like this in October and November, it might be time to cut the losses and focus on the Senate.

    Donald Trump surging
    Good for him!

    People voting for him in the polls are just saying "Hey, it's time for a change. Time to shake things up in Washington." Not a bad thing for them to be saying.

    Lol @ everyone thinking Rand was more electable than Ron. All that selling out has you at 4% in the poll in NEW HAMPSHIRE. What was Ron at this time of last election again? Rand the "strategic mastermind who is playing chess" is getting creamed and his campaign is DOA. This whole liberty movement is going to go out with a whimper thanks to Rand Paul and his boring, milquetoast, and increasingly irrelevant campaign.

    Rand is fading and I'm afraid his drop in the polls is self inflected. Why is Trump surging?? Perhaps he's getting a bump for being the new kid in the race, but his message does resonate with a large percentage of Republican and Independent voters. Illegal immigration and bad corporate trade deals. Rand decided he was going to be a new kind of Republican that reached out to minority voters and that's good. But pandering on illegal immigration has really hurt him. Also right or wrong he appeared to be siding with the street thugs in Ferguson Missouri.

    Running as an economic populist and not backing down on foreign policy is a political winner. He should have stuck it to Sean Hannity and double down on the fact that Hawks and Neocons did create ISIS. I haven't seen him Fox since his performance on Hannity's show. Yes he has been on Fox Business but nobody watches that.

    As for populist economics. Working class Americans haven't seen any real progress since the 80s. We've flooded the country with poor unskilled people that do nothing but drive down wages for those without a college degree. Rand tried to appease the cheap labor lobby thinking he was going to get the big bucks.

    ^ exactly. Trump is surging because his campaign and message are exciting people. You know who's campaign doesn't excite people? Rand Paul. And Rand inherited a huge base of rabidly fanatical supporters and has already lost half of them, and is struggling to find replacements. Rand produces about as much excitement among voters as Tim Pawlenty did last time.

  27. #53
    Some of you guys are acting like the primary is happening this week or something. Rand is still looking good in the RCP average for NH. If he's consistently polling 4%, including with Gravis and PPP, there may be a problem. Walker is the one slipping, and if he doesn't get a bump with his announcement, Rand will be polling a solid 2nd in NH.

    So, what you are saying is that Hillary and her sidekick Bill are then headed back to 1600 Pennsylvania ?
    That'll make her happy.

    So comparing this to Ron Paul's campaigns is groundless. Rand Paul has no preference for who he faces even Hillary.

    The nay-Sayers here are hilarious.

    This primary election cycle is like none we have seen before due to the debates having been pushed back so far.

    This time in 2007 & 2011 we had already had what...2 or 3 debates? Free exposure for candidates with low name recognition, and in 2011 Ron Paul was THE protest vote on both sides of the aisle.

    This go around, Bernie is stealing all of the thunder when it comes to the protest vote and is attracting all of these apathetic voters who think we SHOULD be run like a competent social democracy. Rand is being lambasted as an isolationist and unfit to be in the Republican Party by some pundits, is being confused as RON Paul by other voters(like an older sibling of mine who swears he is for the gold standard and eliminating all of our foreign military bases), and won't have a chance to correct all of that crap until the Debates begin in the Fall.

    It's a rough cycle, especially with money being as important as ever and Bush having pretty much sewn it all up, but we just need to remain relevant and top tier until the debates in August. Nothing else matters.

    One thing that is hilarious in this poll is that Bush polls very very well. And then one of the last questions is about a certain unnamed politician who said that "illegal immigration is an act of love, not a crime" and virtually 80% of respondents said they somewhat or strongly disagreed with that politician.

    There are no crimes against people.
    There are only crimes against the state.
    And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.

    FOX News poll this morning but Bush at 14% and Donald at 12% . As soon as the primary is over, I will drop my republican affiliation. The mere fact that Bush is at 14% among republicans scares the living crap out of me.
