Where Is The Bounce?
by Mark Penn, Chief Strategistin New Hampshire1/5/2008 5:13 PM

Two polls that had the race within a few points before the Iowa caucuses have the race tied after the Iowa caucuses.

In today's CNN/WMUR poll, Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama are tied at 33 percent -- their last two polls had Hillary up 4 points and before that had Hillary down 2 points, so there is no statistically significant change in their numbers before and after the Iowa caucuses.

And the Concord Monitor is out as well today with a poll showing the race at 33 percent for Hillary Clinton, 34 percent for Barack Obama, and 23 percent for John Edwards -- exactly the same margin as before Iowa.

Contrast that with the 17 points John Kerry gained in 2004 in the Boston Globe poll, which catapulted him from a 17-point deficit to a 20-point lead in New Hampshire after the Iowa caucuses. Or with the 7 points Al Gore gained in 2000 in the CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, increasing his lead in New Hampshire from 5 points to 18 points.

New Hampshire voters are fiercely independent. They will make their own decisions about who to support.

11. Gees...where is the hillary herd with its polls to let us know about? sorta silent herd these days

[K Gardner]

12. It kinda looks to me like there's a concerted focused effort on Attacking Edwards today..

lucky you guys.. you get a bit of a break. They must see Edwards as an easier target right now :-)

Enjoy the peace while it lasts ! :toast:

[ronnykmarshall]

18. He ain't no bozo--he's a vile, amoral shitstain

Union-busting? The Saudi Royals? The genocidal Indonesian military dictatorship? Blackwater? Aquadots? His presence in the Clinton campaign is the single biggest reason not to support her.
