NBC News: Donald Trump remains ahead in the early Republican nominating
contests of Iowa and New Hampshire, but his lead has shrunk from a month
ago, according to brand-new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls
of these two states. The polls were conducted Sept. 23-30 - so after
the second Republican presidential debate, as well as after Scott
Walker's withdrawal from the GOP field.
In New Hampshire,
Trump now holds a five-point advantage over Carly Fiorina among GOP
primary voters, 21 percent to 16 percent - followed by Jeb Bush in third
at 11 percent, and Marco Rubio and Ben Carson tied at 10 percent each. But a month ago, Trump's lead over the nearest
competition in the Granite State (John Kasich) was 16 points, 28 percent
to 12 percent.
And in Iowa,
Trump is ahead of Carson by five points among potential GOP
caucus-goers, 24 percent to 19 percent - with Fiorina in third at 8
percent, Bush at 7 percent, and Ted Cruz, Rubio and Bobby Jindal tied at
6 percent. A month ago, Trump's lead over Carson in Iowa was seven points in the same poll, 29 percent to 22 percent.
