Donald Trump continued to build on his lead in New Hampshire in a new poll released Tuesday.
According to a new Boston Herald/Franklin Pierce poll, Trump resides solidly in the top slot, with 28 percent of respondents supporting his candidacy, up 10 points since the first debate August.
Ben Carson continued his surge into second place with 16 percent support, which nearly equals his high in the Granite State. Carly Fiorina is the only other candidate in the field who breaks into double digits with 10 percent.
Following up the trio of outsiders is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 9 percent and Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 6 percent each.
Trump also has more people believing he will win GOP nomination next spring. According to the survey, 36 percent of respondents believe the real estate mogul will be the nominee, compared to only 16 percent who felt that way in the August survey. By contrast, only 16 percent believe Bush will get the nod, with 10 percent seeing Carson taking the cake.
Carson also holds the highest favorability ratings in the poll, at 69 percent. Opinion is split on Trump, with 55 percent viewing him favorably and 42 percent unfavorably, is one of the highest unfavorability ratings in the GOP field.
