Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has pulled to within two points in a four-way matchup for New Hampshire, according to the latest Boston Globe/Suffolk University poll released on Wednesday.
The two-point gap in the survey of 500 likely New Hampshire voters is well within the poll’s margin of error of 4.4 percent. Four presidential candidates registered support in the poll, with Democratic nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton at 44 percemt, Trump at 42 percent, Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson at 5 percent, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein at 1 percent.
The five previous polls of a four-way matchup in New Hampshire had shown Libertarian candidate Johnson with double-digit support ranging from 10-15 percent. Trump was twice as likely to be named as the “second” choice for respondents supporting either Johnson or Stein.
The Boston Globe/Suffolk University poll suggests that a series of embarrassing gaffes are taking a toll on Johnson in New Hampshire and that Trump is the primary beneficiary. Johnson has struggled with basic foreign policy questions in recent weeks, including when he had to ask, “What is Aleppo?” and couldn’t name a single world-leader he admires or couldn’t name the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un.

Don’t say that to the gloom and doom element around here. They’ve bought in to the media psyops war that Trump will lose.
I’d never actually noticed Gary Johnson until the primaries were over and he decided to go independent. What a weaselly, effeminate looking/speaking freak.
New Hampshire, while only having four electoral votes, will be pivotal in this election. More importantly, if Trump wins New Hampshire, he would likely carry other states and win the election.
I think we’ll see Gary’s support be just about 2%, when folks actually vote. What a joke he is...
Yay!
Everything has gone as I thought it would.
Except that disasterous first debate.
I understand the strategy going in.. but when you getting hit left and right .. you can’t just not respond in some way, doing so gives the impression you are conceding the point.
But that’s water under the bridge, nothing can be done about it now. Hopefully Trump can redeem himself in the other 2 debates although from watching the practice the other night.. I am not encouraged.
Thank you for good news! Lots of Eeyores around today.
Watch where the candidates are campaigning. That is the true indicator of the state of the election.
..Trump wins NH and get 1 EV from Maine IMO...
Trump was twice as likely to be named as the “second” choice for respondents supporting either Johnson or Stein.
(I really like that little tidbit. That is a huge fact that can change this election on election day.)
I agree. I really doubt johnson’s support being around 10% as we see in some polls.
W won NH by a few thousand votes in 2000.Were it not for Nader (who got more than a few thousand) it would be "former President algore" today.
I bet once you take out the areas that somewhat act as suburbs of Boston, Trump is most likely head and shoulders above Hillary in New Hampshire.
“Except that disasterous first debate.”
Disastrous?
How was the debate disastrous?
Landslide might be a little optimistic. I just do not have faith in voters or the gimme crowd.
I think the Green Party will hurt Hillary more.
Gary Johnson wanted to campaign in New Hampshire, but he couldn’t find it.
True. We’ve never seen it like this and social media is a big factor now. This could be the Bradley effect finally realized in the modern era.
