A new CNN poll shows that Rand Paul remains the frontrunner among GOP contenders for the 2016 New Hampshire primary.

Paul, who was just in New Hampshire last week, received 15 percent support in the poll, followed by Jeb Bush and Paul Ryan at 10 percent and Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee at 9 percent. Christie is scheduled to be in the Granite State on Wednesday, and Huckabee has an appearance scheduled later in the month.

Other Republicans mentioned in the poll include Rick Perry, Marco Rubio and Scott Walker at 7 percent, Ted Cruz at 6 percent, and Bobby Jindal and Rick Santorum at 3 percent. Both Cruz and Jindal made stops in New Hampshire in recent weeks.

The CNN poll, conducted by ORC International from Sept. 8-11, also showed that Hillary Clinton continues to lead all Democrats by a wide margin.

Sixty percent of those polled chose Clinton, followed by Elizabeth Warren at 11 percent, Joe Biden at 8 percent, Bernie Sanders at 7 percent and Deval Patrick at 4 percent. Andrew Cuomo and Martin O'Malley came in at just 1 percent.
