president Donald Trump holds a 41-point lead among New Hampshire voters in a hypothetical Republican primary, Emerson College polling found.
Trump earns 58% support, followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis with 17%, the Emerson College poll discovered.
Other potential candidates all are in single digits. They include New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (7%), former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley (6%), former Vice President Mike Pence (4%) and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (2%).
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, and former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan each have 1%. “Someone else” earns 3%.
Trump took note Tuesday night on Truth Social.
“Great numbers in New Hampshire! They are smart up there and will never vote for a disciple of [former U.S. House Speaker] Paul Ryan, who worked hard to cut Social Security and Medicare, and raise the minimum age of Social Security to AT LEAST 70; or a nasty and selfish Governor, who should have run for the Senate instead of wasting time and money running for President, where he has ZERO chance of winning!” Trump posted.
