WMUR/CNN Poll: Trump moves to within striking distance of GOP leader Bush
Source: WMUR
DURHAM, N.H. — While there is still no clear frontrunner in the chaotic New Hampshire Republican presidential primary field, business executive Donald Trump has surged to within striking distance of the leader, according to a new WMUR/CNN Granite State Poll.
Nine months is an eternity in politics, particularly in late-deciding New Hampshire. And so not surprisingly, the Republican presidential primary field remains crowded with no true frontrunner, according to the latest WMUR Granite State Poll.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush remains on top, at 16 percent, but Trump, who drew the support of only 5 percent in a Granite State Poll released in early May, has now moved to 11 percent. With the margin of error for the poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, at 4.9 percent, Trump is virtually in a statistical dead heat with Bush for the top spot.
Trump is followed closely by Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, at 9 percent, and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, at 8 percent. Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and former business executive Carly Fiorona are each at 6 percent, with Dr. Ben Carson and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 5 percent, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry at 4 percent, Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz at 3 percent, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 2 percent and former New York Gov. George Pataki, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and South Carolina U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham at 1 percent each.

BWA-HA-HA-HA!
Yes, the GOP primary voters are really that stupid and out-of-touch. We could be seeing a bigger disaster than Goldwater '64 taking shape for the GOP's general election chances in 2016.
And lest you think it's an outlier poll:
