It looks like Chris Christie is making a comeback.
The New Jersey governor and Republican presidential candidate is in second place in the early voting state of New Hampshire with 12% support, according to a new WBUR poll of likely GOP primary voters. That’s up from 6% last month. Christie has all but staked his campaign on a strong showing in the Granite State.
The good news for Christie comes on the heels of the influential, conservative–leaning New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper recently announcing its support for the governor, news that was seen as a lifeline for his sputtering presidential bid.
Billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump, meanwhile, remains in first place with 27% support, an indication that his controversial call to ban Muslims from entering the United States isn’t hurting his 2016 prospects.
