The latest flavor of the week is?...Nacho Cheese!

At a certain level, practically all polling out of New Hampshire has found the same thing for months: Donald Trump is leading. In fact, we have to go back to June to find a Granite State poll in which the New York developer wasn’t ahead in a statewide survey.
With that in mind, the new results from Public Policy Polling probably won't surprise those who only look at the frontrunner, but the poll is nevertheless very interesting in every other way.
1. Donald Trump: 27% (was 28% in a PPP poll six weeks ago) 2. Ted Cruz: 13% (8% last month) 3. Marco Rubio: 11% (12% last month) 4. Chris Christie: 10% (3% last month) 5. Ben Carson: 9% (11% last month) 6. John Kasich: 8% (10% last month) 7. Carly Fiorina: 6% (7% last month) 8. Jeb Bush: 5% (9% last month)
All other candidates are below 5%.
A couple of things should stand out right away. Ted Cruz, for example, has reason to be optimistic about his chances: despite all the media hype surrounding Marco Rubio, it's the Texan who's fairly well positioned as the #2 candidate in both Iowa and New Hampshire. Note, in October, PPP had Cruz in sixth place.
And then there's the Union-Leader..endorsed Chris Christie, who’s been counting on a strong showing in the Granite State, and whose support has quickly tripled, finally reaching double digits. Just as importantly, PPP found that the New Jersey governor now has the best favorability rating of any Republican presidential candidate.
The question is whether Christie can maintain, and perhaps build on, this sudden increase in support. Remember, in recent months other GOP candidates have also surged into double digits ...

But, the best news is that Rubio slipped down in NH after all is "big and bad" talk this week---his vote getting split by Christie- again, Rino Establishment stumbling all over itself.
Ah, Christie! The latest flavor of the week.
This is overlooking something. I’m not sure what it is but there is something missing.
The Dauphin to Christie: “Et tu Christie?”.
If Christie is causing Rubio’s numbers to weaken, I’m all for it. Christie will never win the nomination. But, for now, Go Chubs!
Christie is making big gains?
Northeast Liberal regardless of party? They love 'em.
But who is paying attention to a newspaper that comes out of its hole 75% less frequently than even Punxsutawney Phil? And why?
They're as quaint as a sleigh ride and about as practical.
Yeah there is something missing here. Gee I wonder what it is?
The LSM must have fond remembrances of Christie and BHO's arm-in-arm stroll down the beach after a storm.
Christie is running for Attorney General.
He’s probably make a good one.
The latest flavor of the week is?...Nacho Cheese!
I was told many times here that Ted Cruz has no chance in New Hampshire.
Crispy ain’t going to win anything. He has been at the bottom and they pump the polls for their latest RINO they try to push.
Krispy Kream zooms all the way up to 10% WOW!That’s it Trump is finished. Trump loses one point which could be a statistical blip and nothing more. The rest just reshuffling the deck. These also rans help Trump by absorbing the anti-Trump energy which they will continue to do until after South Carolina when the clock will strike midnight for Krispy Kream Yeb Fiorino Pyramid Ben,and Ka-sick. By then, however, the Trump train will be moving so fast only Cruz and Senior amnesty will be still around. By Florida Amnesty and Yeb fade away and Trump announces Cruz as his VP - I wish he wouldn’t because Cruz would be much more effective as AG or at least Solicitor General.
Yea he’s 4th place IN HIS HOME STATE! Pathetic.
Christie does not play west of Poughkeepsie or south of Baltimore.
I really hope Cruz can pull it off. I am convinced that the Trumpkins are going to get a big surprise if Trump wins the Republican primary, as he “pivots” from telling the majority of Republican primary voters what they want to hear to telling what he perceives as what the general electorate wants to hear.
The Bushies believe they can take Cruz out on the citizenship and demeanor issue.
