CNN: Sanders 50, Clinton 40 in NH

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.

Despite Sanders' overall advantage in the state, there is a growing sense of inevitability around Clinton's campaign in New Hampshire. About 6-in-10 (59%) say they think Clinton is most likely to win the Democratic primary there, up from 42% saying so in September, and 70% say she's got the best chance to win the general election next year, up from 51% in September.

1. Yep... that's pretty much as I expected. He sure has had to fight hard to ...

... be competitive in his own "back yard". It will be interesting to see where the multi-poll trend lines go, but I think that Bernie has got this one in his "win column".

Only 49 more to go!


EDIT: Gag me! I'd forgotten how much I LOATHE the cnn.com website. So slow! Ads! Autoplay videos! Ugh!!

2. So does that mean THIS poll doesn't need unskewing?

Most apparently do if you're a Bernie supporter.

I will boldly predict (as I have for months now) that he will win NH and VT. And lose the nomination.

4. My prediction is that Hilary will win NH by a narrow margin n/t

8. It's possible

But if he's going to win any state other than VT it will be NH. Almost totally Caucasian voter demo makes it possible, plus the fact that they have an open primary, not confined to Democrats.

3. My ultra scientific dump-saturdays bumper sticker survey says:

if the primary were today it would be Trump and Sanders handily defeating all others.

The Trump part gives me the nazi-hives, but I'm loving that my state is going to go for Sanders.

5. To save you time...

6. As people get to know Bernie - THey like what they find.

This is why DWS and the DNC have rigged the debates. Who do they think they're Kidding?

7. The previous CNN poll NH had Sanders ahead by 16%

The more they know him...

10. Biden was in the last poll

Makes it apples and oranges

[FloridaBlues]

11. So I guess this is the only poll they will believe not any other one because Hillary bought

Every other pollster.
Actually no surprise in NH but his trend is going down there too from earlier cnn poll

[CajunBlazer]

13. Bought pollsters?

Surely you didn't mean to write that.

12. Good news for Sanders, I think.

The last few polls there have shown a tie. It is an improvement for Clinton since the last CNN poll, though.
