Marco Rubio is climbing in a New Hampshire daily poll, but his second place finish still trails behind Donald Trump's by 21 points as the state's primary election approaches.

According to the WHDH/UMass Lowell poll, the numbers are:
  • Trump, 36 percent;
  • Rubio, 15 percent;
  • Ted Cruz, 14 percent;
  • Jeb Bush, 8 percent;
  • John Kasich, 7 percent;
  • Chris Christie, 5 percent;
  • Ben Carson, 4 percent;
  • Carly Fiorina, 3 percent.
The poll, though, showed Rubio climbing steadily, marking 3 points overnight and seven points since Monday, when he finished third in Iowa. Trump's numbers though, have dropped down two points for the first time he lost support in the daily poll.

The poll questioned 487 likely Republican voters and carried a margin of error of 4.9 percent.
