Hillary surging new poll NH 41%, BS 50% Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll

[Historic NY]

The poll also showed the Democratic contest to be a single-digit race. US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont leads former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, 50 percent to 41 percent, with 8 percent undecided.

“Sanders continues to lead thanks to the New Hampshire counties bordering Vermont and his strength among young voters, independents, and men,” said Paleologos. “What makes this race complicated is that the reliability of potential independent voters is directly correlated with whether these voters become drawn into the Republican primary or not.”

Hillary trimming those numbers down to single - digits

6. Sounds like some "Democrats" coming home. I just learned that NH is 40% Independents, and they....

get to screw around in our primaries. This might explain why NH hasn't picked a Democratic nominee in FOREVER!

11. Which is why NH is inconsequential for Democratic primaries - despite what the media is crowing

at the moment.

13. I just remember that Bill Clinton, W & Obama all lost NH, and still won their party's nominations &

ultimately the presidency. IA & NH are two of the least diverse states in the country, and I'm still not sure why they matter more than the rest of us?

15. You're right, as the chart at the link below shows.

I guess keeping IA and NH consequential is more out of tradition than anything else. Twenty or more years ago, they might've mattered, but they haven't chosen a Democratic primary candidate who later won the presidency since Carter in 1980.

So I don't put much stock in the outcomes of either State even though U.S. media all do.

8. What was..

This poll at previously?

Edit: Eh, it was the same margin as last time. I hate to say it, but probably shouldn't read much into it.. The polls don't seem to have moved all that much on the Dem side..

9. Keep going up!

10. There are a lot of Paulites in NH and I'm sure they will go for Sanders.

He's just their type. Guns, Guns, Guns and doesn't know or care much about anything outside of the United States.

It's pretty cool that Hillary is doing as well as she is there. I would be pretty impressed with New Hampshire if the Dems really got out the vote for her.

12. I really don't see Hillary winning in NH. I'll be happy if she can make it a squeaker for Bernie, at

best, and withing single digits at worst, but I really don't see NH in her column - and it doesn't matter to me. Next up: Nevada and then South Carolina.

14. Excellent!

[book_worm]

16. Good news if he wins NH by less than 10

it should be interpreted as a loss for Bernie in his backyard.

17. Wow! Now that's a surge!

[Dawson Leery]

18. If NH is a squeaker, we can start the process of ridding the party of that jackal.

20. Such great news, Historic NY. People are paying attention to how it's Hillary who

will actually make the best POTUS!
