SPRINGFIELD – It may be that the Illinois GOP hierarchy that signed on to be delegates for Ohio Governor John Kasich are about to get good news about their presidential pick. Seven polls since the first week of January show Kasich polling second to Donald Trump among independents in the early primary state of New Hampshire.
Additionally, the poll reports Kasich is the only Republican viewed favorably by independent voters in New Hampshire. See the poll results here.
Although Trump's leading by over 20 points in most of the polls, Kasich's campaign is thrilled with the polling and four of the state's major news sources endorsing the former congressman over the front runner Trump.

Has come out for amnesty and tires to make fun of those who say the illegal aliens can and should be deported.
Kasich could barely find people to pass his petitions in Illinois and many of his delegates would have been removed from the ballot, but for a slip up by the objector’s attorney.
yeah but Donald hitched his trailer to psycho Palin….. he’s effectively shot himself in the foot.
to be honest it is simply political, with so many candidates and all needing delegates, the supporters were thinly divided statewide, I mean come on that is a great deal of delegates needed.
BUT …to be fair seems all of the candidates, came up short in one form or another in their filings,
Cruz, Rubio, bush…NONE had a 100% filing of all delegates signatures if challenged
Vote for Cruz.
Kasich is being pushed by peculiar, out lying polls because he is supposed to Trump’s Veep. It makes sense to pair the two most liberal Republicans.
he would be a good Veep.
deliver Ohio?
