POLL: TRUMP STILL LEADS N.H.; CARSON IS SECOND
Donald Trump continues to hold a big lead in New Hampshire, but a new poll released Monday has a new second-place candidate: Ben Carson. Trump has the backing of 28% of likely Republican voters, followed by Carson at 17%, according to the latest Monmouth University poll.
Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, gained 12 percentage points from a similar survey in late July.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich, in third place at 11%, is the only other Republican in double digits.
Trump, Carson and Kasich are followed by: Ted Cruz (8%), Carly Fiorina (7%), Bush (7%), Rand Paul (4%) and Marco Rubio (4%).
