New Hampshire remains a Sanders stronghold

Washington - (CNN) Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders continues to hold a lead over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, the state set to host the nation's first primary next February.

The latest CNN/WMUR poll of New Hampshire's likely Democratic primary voters tells a different story than that of national and Iowa polling, where Clinton holds double-digit leads.

The poll finds 50% of likely Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire back Sanders, 40% Clinton, 1% former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.

This New Hampshire poll does show a narrower margin for Sanders, however, with the Democratic field trimmed to just three candidates. Clinton has gained 10 points since September, when Vice President Joe Biden took 14% of the vote in the last CNN/WMUR Poll. Over that same time, Sanders has gained 4 points.

New Hampshire's "undeclared" voters, who are not registered with a party and are able to choose to participate in either party's primary, are more interested in voting in the GOP race than the Democratic one (48% Republicans, 38% Democrats). Still, those undeclared voters are the ones boosting Sanders' candidacy. Among those registered undeclared who say they are likely to vote in the Democratic primary, 55% back Sanders, 37% Clinton. Among registered Democrats, it's 47% Clinton to 40% Sanders.

1. No surprise there.

Its gotta irk him that it's even thisclose in NH.

[Metric System]

2. And actual Democrats prefer her 47-40.

[Scootaloo]

4. New Hampshire Democrats aren't "actual Democrats"?

You better go let them know.

[Metric System]

17. I'm quoting the poll of NH voters.

[The Dark Magician]

36. You're quitting the polls of NH voters? Good for you!

Clinton can close up shop there.

[WillyT]

9. "Actual" Democrats, Gave Us Joe Lieberman, Zell Miller, NAFTA... To Name A Few...

I don't give two shits if there is a D after their name... and neither did they.

You want me to post the GOP Convention videos where they supported the Republican candidate ???

[dsc]

22. really because in the case of Lieberman I remember something else entirely

Both Lieberman's first race (against Weiker) and his last race (against Lamont) he got major GOP and conservative support (in the case of his first race to get rid of a RINO and in the last after he lost a primary (the election Democrats vote in) to Lamont).

[WillyT]

24. Yep...

[Loudestlib]

31. That's really the point.

Sanders can turn people out to vote, Hillary doesn't. That's why we need Sanders, we don't want a repeat of what happened in Florida.

[Scootaloo]

3. Not as much as it seems to irk you.

There there. It'll be okay.

[JaneyVee]

7. I know it will be okay.

[Scootaloo]

11. You sure? I could give you a cake recipe

[Hepburn]

5. LOL, it says four replies as I add this reply and guess what?

The page is blank above this post. Seems like the supporters of that other candidate cannot handle the good news for Bernie!

[cosmicone]

6. Meh n/t

[Hepburn]

8. Seven replies to the OP and I am still the only post I can see!

I must be doing something right with that IGNORE feature if supporters of another candidate are all over this thread!

[WillyT]

10. I've Never Tried It... What's It Like ???

[Hepburn]

32. I joined DU in 2004 -- for the first time, I used the ignore feature in 2015

Frankly, it's heaven to not have to see some of the nastiness directed toward Bernie and his supporters. I get to read information in OPs such as yours without having to see the snark.

[Scootaloo]

12. Yeah, hiding all entries on a subthread annoys me

S'why I avoid the ignore feature. Ah well.

[JonLeibowitz]

14. Agreed; you miss some real good BERNS when their talking points go up in smoke. n/t

[seabeyond]

19. It must be lonely on your discussion board.

[NCTraveler]

23. Up to your post here.

It appears that two are yours, three are Clinton supporters and three are Sanders supporters. For someone using ignore you sure are interested.

[Fuddnik]

25. LOL. I don't see anything above yours either.

Sick minds think alike!

[Hepburn]

33. Sad, but true! n/t

[Agschmid]

42. Never tried ignore, echo chambers suck.

[DCBob]

13. NH's "undeclared" voters are more interested in voting in the GOP race than the Democrat one.

That's a problem for Bernie. Undeclared/Independents can only vote in one primary, Dem or Repub. Its very possible the Republican primary will be more competitive and interesting and will draw alot of voters away from the Democratic primary and away from Bernie.

[Warren Stupidity]

15. Weren't you declaring good riddance the last

time you trotted out this bullshit?

[WillyT]

21. Do These Guys Ever Bother To Read The Article... Let Alone The OP ???

New Hampshire's "undeclared" voters, who are not registered with a party and are able to choose to participate in either party's primary, are more interested in voting in the GOP race than the Democratic one (48% Republicans, 38% Democrats).

From The OP.

38. see my post below..

[HerbChestnut]

16. Well it's a good thing CNN polled undecideds who were leaning toward the Democratic primary

[jfern]

18. Nice try, but those who were more interested in voting in the GOP primary were counted

as voting in the Republican primary.

[seabeyond]

20. That is a very soft vote, though.

[jfern]

34. Some could switch from GOP to Democratic primary

[DCBob]

37. That's based on their current mood.

I suspect that could easily change and more switch to the GOP primary as we get closer to election day and undeclared voters see the GOP contest as more consequential and dramatic. Especially if Hillary wins big in Iowa and SC polls indicate a blowout.. NH wont matter on the Democratic side.

[jfern]

44. Why would they do that? Trump is up 15-20 points.

The Democratic race is definitely closer. I don't think NH voters are going to care what SC polls show.

[Thespian2]

26. Thanks, WillyT

[WillyT]

27. You Are More Than Welcome !!!

[George II]

28. If those numbers hold, that means that he will get TWO more delegates than Clinton!

Big

[Historic NY]

29. LOL...........

MARTIN O’MALLEY 0% 0%

[pnwmom]

30. And CNN says Hillary's 18 points ahead in Iowa. So Iowa remains a Clinton stronghold. n/t

[Beacool]

35. I'm not surprised.

VT's neighbor is NH. Hillary is far ahead in every other state that has conducted polls this early on.

[riversedge]

39. Clinton has gained 10 points & Sanders only +4 since last Sept poll when

comparing oranges to oranges. Hillary doing better at picking up votes last 2 months and we have 50 plus days to go



Have a cookie.

Thanks for the thread, WillyT.

[Hepburn]

43. Check out these stats re NH:

In the poll out this week, Mr. Sanders had an 83 percent/4 percent favorable/unfavorable rating split, while Mrs. Clinton had a 68 percent/7 percent favorable/unfavorable split.

Forty-six percent said Mrs. Clinton is the least honest, compared to 5 percent for Mr. O’Malley and 3 percent for Mr. Sanders.

Sixty percent said Mr. Sanders is the most likeable, compared to 22 percent who said Mrs. Clinton and 7 percent who said Mr. O’Malley.
