In New Hampshire, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton faces stiff competition from four GOP presidential candidates but maintains a comfortable lead over the GOP's current front-runner, Donald Trump, a new poll has found.
According to a WMUR Granite State Poll conducted July 22-30 of 722 adults, Clinton is statistically tied in matchups with her GOP competitors:
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush leads Clinton by a margin of 46 percent to 45 percent
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul leads by 45 percent to 43 percent
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is at 43 percent compared to 44 percent for Clinton
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker would have 45 percent compared to 43 percent for Clinton
In a matchup with Donald Trump, who is leading the New Hampshire Republican primary field, 50 percent of likely voters say they would vote for Clinton compared to 40 percent who would vote for Trump.

I don’t think it matters at this point in the process. NH always goes D anyway, so why fret?
Not polled about Cruz?
Rubio and Paul? I’m very suspicious of this poll. How can Donald be so far ahead in the polls and so far behind Clinton? Doesn’t make sense to me, nor honest.
So, a poll of adults...
And then, they change for Trump to likely voters.
Flawed concept. However, if this poll is of generic adults and Hillary is struggling, that is VERY good news.
Another wasted poll.
Gramnesty has already said he will win NH.
:)
He thinks he will because he thinks he is the reincarnation of his buddy John McCain.
They don’t want to ask about Cruz...and for good reason...
They won’t like the answer
At one point I thought Clinton was like 25 points ahead of Trump ,,now it’s down to 10 points?
Excellent.
Good news all the way around!
Old trick those who are behind leader in poll vote for member of opposite party to make their candidate look better.
Aw. yes, the old operation chaos.
Big whoop. This is a poll of “adults”, not registered or likely voters, and so of course it leans Democrat.
All Trump has to do is move a couple percent from Clinton’s column to his and his numbers are identical to the more traditional rest of the field. Were he actually to become the nominee, that much and more could be expected—for a vote that’s still 15 months out.
How do you picture a general election between New York Billionaire Hillary and New York Billionaire Donald playing out?
How will the issue ads go?
How will their past comments, positions, party affiliation, etc. be used?
Do you see bold contrasts or muddled pastels?
She's a detestable human being.
Maybe Bush and Rubio can run ass DemoRats?
Outside of FR Cruz is not considered at top tier candidate.
I will say this, both Hillary and Trump have changed their positions over the years. Don’t forget - it was Bill Clinton who signed the DoMA into law. Now, she is in favor of same-sex marriage. Donald has given lots and lots of money to charity and veterans’ organizations. Clinton launders money to herself through their phony foundation.
Of course there are bold contrasts.
Hillary wants an economy-killing jacking up of capital gains taxes to over 43%. She wants to keep Obamacare and Trump wants to replace it with a free market solution. Trump wants America to take leadership in the world again, and she was a sniveling failure of a Sec. of State.
While she’s incredibly slow on her feet and the puppet of her political machine, Trump is clearly fast-thinking and his own man. He also came by his billion(s) more honestly.
Nah, Graham’s just trying to deflect from his being in the race simply to keep a leading conservative alternative from winning So. Carolina.
LoL!
You can’t just paint the picture you want, you must realize that there is documented history for both of them.
And they’re a flippin’ and a floppin.’
