Oh my. Scott Walker, formerly
NH Republicans' #1, now down to #5 as Trump runs circles around everyone else in
PPP's latest poll.
Trump laps the Republican field with 35% to 11% for John Kasich, 10% for Carly Fiorina, 7% each for Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, 6% for Ben Carson, 4% each for Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio, and 3% for Rand Paul. Candidates falling outside the top ten in the state are Rick Perry at 2%, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, and Rick Santorum at 1%, and Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, and Bobby Jindal all at less than 1%. Everyone does have at least one supporter on this poll. [...]
The candidate who's made the most cataclysmic drop is Walker- he's gone from leading at 24% all the way down to 7% in this newest poll.
Also, Trump's appeal cuts across all GOP demographics,
as in other polls.
He leads with Tea Party voters (44%), men (39%), independents (36%), conservatives (36%), voters who are most concerned about electability (35%), both younger voters and seniors (at 34% with each), evangelicals (32%), women (30%), and moderates (29%).
Meanwhile, Jeb! is really in trouble, in case that seven percent wasn't enough to tip you off. While Trump's favorable-to-unfavorable rating is in very positive territory (56/32), Bush is under water (38/41). Jeb! is getting hit from both sides—Trump's robbing him of most conservative support (only three percent of "very conservative" voters favor Jeb!) and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is now taking a big chunk of the state's GOP moderates.
[Kasich] gets 20% with them, putting him second to Trump, and making up for his own trouble on the right- he gets just 1% with 'very conservative' voters. Moderates are 29% of the GOP electorate on this poll, a lot more than in most places.
