Donald Trump's Not Slowing Down: He's Up Big in New Hampshire, and Close in Iowa

A new NBC/Marist poll shows that the mogul-candidate’s boomlet isn’t being quelled by controversy.

July 26, 2015 Belittling a longtime senator's military service is usually a good way to end a political campaign. In Donald Trump's case, a new set of polls out from NBC/Marist Sunday morning suggest it's not stopping the business mogul's rapid rise in the GOP field.

In New Hampshire, Trump comes in first with 21 percent; his closest competitor is Jeb Bush, who's at 14 percent. Scott Walker comes in third with 12 percent, then John Kasich at 7 percent, Chris Christie and Ben Carson at 6 percent and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz at 5 percent.

And in Iowa, where Trump made his now-infamous comments about McCain earlier this month, the business mogul comes in a close second to Walker. Walker takes 19 percent in the poll, compared with Trump at 17 percent. They're followed by Bush (12 percent), Carson (8 percent), Huckabee (7 percent) and Rand Paul (5 percent).
