Donald Trump continued to build on his lead in New Hampshire in a new poll released Tuesday.

According to a new Boston Herald/Franklin Pierce poll, Trump resides solidly in the top slot, with 28 percent of respondents supporting his candidacy, up 10 points since the first debate August.

Ben Carson continued his surge into second place with 16 percent support, which nearly equals his high in the Granite State. Carly Fiorina is the only other candidate in the field who breaks into double digits with 10 percent.

Following up the trio of outsiders is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 9 percent and Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 6 percent each.
