Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump increased his lead over Nikki Haley to 19% with two days remaining until the state’s primary, according to the latest Suffolk University/NBC10 Boston/Boston Globe tracking poll.
The survey results, released Sunday morning, had Trump at 55%, two percentage points higher than on Saturday. Haley remained at 36%. Ron DeSantis, a distant third, went down one percentage point to 6%. Less than 1% chose someone else, 2% were undecided and less than 1% refused to answer. The survey of 500 likely Republican primary voters was conducted from Jan. 19-20. The margin of error is 4.4%.
Later Sunday, DeSantis announced he was suspending his campaign, endorsing front-runner Trump two days before the New Hampshire primary.

Sunday’s poll continued to illustrate that most of the New Hampshire voters who participated have already made up their minds about who they’re voting for on Tuesday. Over 87% of those surveyed said they are either “not at all likely” or “not very likely” to change their minds.
When Haley voters were asked if their vote was more a vote for Haley or against Trump, 52% said it was a vote for Haley and 39% said it was a vote against Trump. These results have changed in recent days — the split was fairly even Saturday, with 46% saying it was a vote against Trump and 47% saying it was a vote for Haley; a day earlier, 54% said their vote was against Trump while 42% said it was for Haley.
When the reverse was asked, 93% of Trump voters said their vote was a vote for Trump — an increase from 90% a day earlier — versus 5% who said it was really more of a vote against Haley.
Trump and Haley all have events planned in New Hampshire in the days leading up to the primary. Both Trump and Haley were also in the state on Friday.
