DURHAM, NH Donald Trump has expanded his lead in the New Hampshire Primary race while Marco Rubio has moved
into second place. Trump also continues to be the candidate that New Hampshire Republicans say they are least likely to
vote for. Only eighteen percent of New Hampshire Republican Primary voters say they have firmly decided who they will
vote for in the Primary.
These findings are based on the latest CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll, conducted by the University of New
Hampshire Survey Center. Nine hundred and fifty-four (954) randomly selected New Hampshire adults were interviewed by
landline and cellular telephone between November 30 and December 7, 2015. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3.2
percent. Included were four hundred and two (402) likely 2016 Republican Primary voters (MSE = +/-4.9) and three
hundred and sixty-nine (369) likely 2016 Democratic Primary voters (MSE = +/-5.1).
NH Republicans Not Engaged Yet
2016 marks the 100th anniversary of the New Hampshire Primary and has attracted a record number of major Republican
candidates. New Hampshire Republicans are, as usual, taking their time deciding who to support.
New Hampshire primary voters usually decide who they will vote for in the last weeks, or days of the campaign and it is no
surprise that few likely Republican primary voters have made up their minds about who they will support in 2016.
Currently, only 18% of likely Republican Primary voters say they have definitely decided who they will support, 26% are
leaning toward a candidate, and 56% are still trying to decide.

We ask that this copyrighted information be referred to as the CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll, sponsored by WMUR-TV and CNN, and
conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.

The Republican electorate is more interested in the 2016 primary than it was at a similar point in 2007, the last time both
parties had contested primaries. Currently, 58% of likely Republican primary voters say they are extremely interested in the
election, 28% are very interested, and 13% are only somewhat interested or not very interested. By comparison, in
December 2007, 35% of likely Republican primary voters said they were extremely interested in the 2008 primary, 48%
were very interested, and 18% were only somewhat interested or not very interested. Another sign of higher interest in
Republicans is that 48% of undeclared voters who can vote in either primary, say they will vote in the Republican primary
while only 38% say they will vote in the Democratic primary.
GOP Favorability Ratings
Florida senator Marco Rubio leads the GOP field in net favorability (the percentage who have a favorable opinion of him or
her minus the percentage who have an unfavorable opinion) among Republican primary voters. Currently 61% have a
favorable opinion of Rubio, 23% have an unfavorable opinion and 16% are neutral or dont know enough about him to say.
Rubios net favorability rating is +38%, up slightly from +36% in September. Other GOP candidates with moderate net
favorability ratings include businessman Donald Trump (+21%), businesswoman Carly Fiorina (+20%), and New Jersey
governor Chris Christie (+19%).
Neurosurgeon Ben Carson (+12%), Texas senator Ted Cruz (+10%), and Ohio governor John Kasich (+1%) have low net
favorability ratings while former Florida governor Jeb Bush (-3%), Kentucky senator Rand Paul (-15%), former Arkansas
governor Mike Huckabee (-21%), former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore (-27%), South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham (28%), former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum (-30%), and former New York governor George Pataki (-45%) have
negative net favorability ratings.
Carson (from +42% to +12%), Fiorina (from +47% to +20%), Kasich (from +21% to +1%), and Bush (from +11% to -3%) have
all seen their net favorability rating drop significantly since September.
Cruz (+66%), Trump (+56%), Fiorina (+43%), Carson (+41%) and Rubio (+38%) are very popular among voters who regularly
listen to conservative talk radio, while Bush (-32%) and Kasich (-32%) are very unpopular among talk radio listeners.

CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll Methodology


These findings are based on the latest CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll, conducted by the University of New
Hampshire Survey Center and funded by CNN and WMUR-TV, Manchester, NH. Nine hundred and fifty-four randomly
selected New Hampshire adults were interviewed by landline and cellular telephone between November 30 and December
7, 2015. If a household included more than one adult, the adult who had the most recent birthday was selected to be
interviewed.
The margin of sampling error is +/- 3.2 percent for the entire sample. Included were four hundred and two (402) likely 2016
Republican Primary voters (MSE = +/-4.9), three hundred sixty-nine (369) likely 2016 Democratic Primary voters (MSE = +/5.1). These MSEs have not been adjusted for design effect. The design effect for the survey is 1.1%.
The random sample used in the CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll was purchased from Marketing Systems Group
(MSG), Horsham, PA. STS screens each selected telephone number to eliminate non-working numbers, disconnected
numbers, and business numbers to improve the efficiency of the sample, reducing the amount of time interviewers spend
calling non-usable numbers.
The data have been weighted to adjust for numbers of adults and telephone lines within households. Additionally, data
were weighted by respondent sex, age, and region of the state to targets from the most recent American Community
Survey (ACS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition to potential sampling error, all surveys have other potential
sources of non-sampling error including question order effects, question wording effects, and non-response. Due to
rounding, percentages may not sum to 100%. The number of respondents in each demographic below may not equal the
number reported in cross-tabulation tables as some respondents choose not to answer some questions.
For more information about the methodology used in the CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll, contact Dr. Andrew
Smith at (603) 862-2226 or by email at andrew.smith@unh.edu.
