Scott Walker was second with 14-percent and Rand Paul was third at 7-precent.
Donald Trump had 6-percent. Chris Christie and Ted Cruz were tied with just 5-percent.
"The single-digit candidates need to go to New Hampshire and make a personal appeal to likely Republican voters there if they want to become the Republican alternative to Jeb Bush," David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center said in a statement.
"There are still plenty of undecided voters who might be won over if they make their case."
Bush had a favorable rating of 54-percent compared to Walker's 46-percent.
As for unfavorable ratings, Walker's was 15-percent compared to Bush's 27-percent.
Paleologos told WBZ NewsRadio 1030 one in four of those polled are undecided on a candidate.
New Hampshire voters, he said, like to be wooed.
"They want to see the candidates go up to the Granite State and they want to evaluate the candidates eyeball-to-eyeball before they make a commitment," Paleologos told WBZ.
