Marco Rubio Is Rising in New Hampshire Poll Shows
Marco Rubio has nearly doubled his support in New Hampshire since the beginning of the summer, according to a new Suffolk University poll that shows the Florida senator riding strong debate performances. Some 11 of New Hampshire residents who intend to vote in the Republican primary in February say they support Rubio, up from 6.8 in the same poll released June 23. Rubio is now in second place behind Donald Trump in the state.

He released his first television advertisement on Sunday, focusing on national security issues. Read more Marco Rubio Warns of "Civilizational Struggle" in First TV Ad
