I assume that's just Republicans?  I really thought higher of the New England GOP.   :(

NH tends to bend more libertarian than Establishment or RINO compared to the rest of New England.

Ben Carson - 9%

buh-bye
Carson has never had strong numbers in New Hampshire.  His narrative needed an upset win in Iowa to get him second/third in New Hampshire and then win in South Carolina.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

Part of the reason that some Repubs will jump ship, including especially some of the big players, is because Trump and Carson speak out heavily against Washington politics, the systemic corruption, government bloat/bureaucracy being so out of control, and much, much more.

It's a shame the systemic corruption, government out out of control thing was actually true.  Anyone who thinks that needs to get dropped in Mozambique for a month.

Many people see it and feel it and are so annoyed and tired of it. This is why the non-traditional type candidates are doing so well, including Sanders on the left. This isn't just about Obama or something; it's about both parties. I don't think we need to get to the level of third world zaniness before looking at reforms or checking if we have serious problems.

I hope Trump starts dropping in polls but it's like whatever he says or does doesn't matter because the tough assed message he brings is what people are ok with. But he's made some real zingers lately, any one of which would have stopped any other candidate cold.

Here is a complete schedule.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Yeah we have two months before we start voting on who we can vote for in 11 months. And I am already sick and tired of the election.

It's the holiday season, unless something crazy happens, the polls will be pretty static until New Years. Then there'll only be a month for someone to try and catch up to the Donald.
