 "Donald Trump holds forte, Clinton losing ground in New Hampshire: Opinion poll")
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is holding forte in New Hampshire with a double digit lead over his nearest rival Marco Rubio while Democratic presidential aspirant Bernie Sanders has a massive lead over Hillary Clinton, a latest opinion poll has shown.
As the results of the Iowa Caucuses came in, the crowded Republican presidential race appeared to be narrowing down to a three-cornered contest with Florida Senator Rubio coming a close third behind Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.
On the other hand, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has a massive two-to-one lead over Democratic Presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton, who defeated him in the Iowa polls with a very slim margin of less than half a point, the opinion poll said yesterday.
According to the new CNN/WMUR tracking poll was conducted entirely after Iowa Caucus early this week, Trump has support of 29% of likely Republican primary goers, followed by Rubio who has support of 18%.
Senator Cruz, who surprised many by winning the Iowa caucus is now trailing third with 13% and is followed very closely by Ohio Governor John Kaisch (12%) and the former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (10%).
CNN/WMUR said Clinton is trailing massively in New Hampshire. Sanders has support of 61% of the likely Democratic primary goers, while Clinton has support of just 30%, a drop of four points from the last polls.
