Trump takes GOP lead in New Hampshire, moving up on Walker in Iowa: polls

Looks like the Donald is trumping the polls these days. Two NBC News/Marist polls released on Sunday show that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is leading among voters in New Hampshire, and he's doing quite well in Iowa too.

The first poll, which drew data from nearly 1,000 registered voters, showed Trump leading the GOP primary race with 21% support in New Hampshire. In second place is Jeb Bush, clocking in at 14%. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is a bit ahead in Iowa, at 19%, but Trump isn't lagging too far behind, at 17%, in the Hawkeye State poll.

The polls were conducted before and after Trump's comments about Senator John McCain's war past, and it's interesting to see how that controversy might have influenced potential GOP primary voters. After Trump denounced McCain earlier this month, saying that he was "a war hero because he was captured," the polls show that his numbers dropped in New Hampshire but rose slightly in Iowa.
