Donald Trump remains the clear front-runner in New Hampshire’s GOP presidential primary after placing second in Iowa’s caucuses, according to a new poll.
Trump has a 24-point lead over his competition in the Granite State in the University of Massachusetts-Lowell/7 News survey released Wednesday, unchanged from the pollsters' previous survey.
Iowa proved that polls are worthless.
Was anyone predicting Trump to run the gambit.... Iowa, NH, SC? I wasn't? Most media wasn't.
Why not? Iowa was the tough race. Trump came in second. He had been flipping between 1st and 2nd with Cruz for a few weeks now. I can pull the polls to show you. The last Iowa poll I'm guessing had a margin of error of 4%. Trump 28% in the poll - 24% actual = 4%. Cruz 23% in the poll - 28% actual = 5%, pretty close. It's not like Rand Paul or Rick Santorum came out of nowhere and won this thing. The Iowa polls had called the top 3 guys, just 1 and 2 were flipped. Next time box your trifecta.
Trump is however expected to win NH so next Tuesday is a big one.
