New PPP Polling for NH: Bernie Sanders MUCH Stronger in General

[Segami]

Different day, same story — Bernie does better against Republicans than Hillary in NH. Seems to be a trend. At some point, people need to decide if they’d rather have a Democratic President, or Hillary win the primary, as if that means anything if she loses. Some of these aren’t even CLOSE, between Bernie and Clinton versus Republicans. Look at my final column for +/-. Amazing. At some point, people are going to take notice of this trend: Bernie is better to run against Republicans than Hillary, because he will be better with Independents, and he will drive MUCH higher voting numbers from the left.

1. Looks like they both win. Good news for democrats.

[ljm2002]

2. That's a very nice result for Bernie...

...here's hoping Democratic voters pay attention!

[Segami]

6. Yup!

[Zequest]

3. Expected, in a largely Caucasian state

Clinton does best in diverse states.

[Robbins]

13. Oh jesus

this largely state went for kerry In 2004 and for Obama In 2008 and 2012.meanwhile the Diverse SC hasn't been won by a dem since carter In 1976.

Unlike most of south white states of Iowa,NH,and Vermont voted obama twice.so stop calling all whites ignorant racists.

[Zequest]

14. Who called whites racist?

Why are you playing the race card?

4. Bernie has great personal numbers in NH so it isn't so surprising.

As a neighboring Senator he is also pretty well known and liked. Glad both of them are winning.

[OKNancy]

5. Four electoral votes

Florida has 29 and I bet he doesn't do that well there or Virginia with 13.
Plus a win is a win and she will win New Hampshire.

[George II]

9. He won't get any electoral votes

[brooklynite]

7. But Bernie supporters don't trust PPP...

Choices, choices

[JaneyVee]

8. Homogeneous.

[George II]

10. Your "MUCH" is a bit much.....

....Sanders is a few points further ahead than Clinton in his neighboring state where, if he doesn't do well he should just hang it up.

11. So, basically a Hillary candidacy turns a fairly safe state into a swing state

NH has voted democratic in 3 out of the last 4 elections. At this point, NH should not be a state where the democratic nominee is within the margin of error.

How many other blue states become battleground states in the event of a Clinton candidacy? How many swing states will the democrats have to concede as red states?
