Sanders tops Clinton by 2-to-1 margin in New Hampshire
Source: CNN
(CNN)Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders continues to hold a wide lead over Hillary Clinton among likely New Hampshire primary voters, according to a new CNN/WMUR tracking poll conducted entirely after the Iowa caucuses.
Sanders stands at 61% support, up slightly from the 57% he held in a late January CNN/WMUR poll conducted before he and Clinton divided Iowa caucusgoers almost evenly on Monday night. Clinton holds 30%, down a tick from the 34% she held before the caucuses. Both changes are within the poll's margin of sampling error.
The results reflect interviews conducted during the first two and a half days of a tracking poll that will ultimately wrap together three nights worth of interviews, but give the first look at how the race is shaping up following Monday night's caucuses in Iowa.
The Vermont senator is also widely expected to win the primary set to be held on February 9 in New Hampshire, with 61% of likely voters saying they think he'll win, while 25% expect a Clinton victory. Clinton won the state's primary during her bid for the 2008 Democratic nomination after polls ahead of the contest showed her trailing then-Senator Barack Obama.

(21,132 posts)Coming off of the .2% eyelash difference in IA, a good win in NH would put an end to the "he can't win" argument. which will alter the later contests. Whether or not it is enough is another debate, but momentum is a thing every time this stuff comes around.

Bernie is not practical. How many of his "extreme" ideas do you think he could get congress to cooperate with him on? I'll answer for you........NONE!

(1,209 posts)late this afternoon this story appeared everywhere.
An indication that independent voters that were going to vote for Sanders will probably tilt to a Republican even though many have been being polled as supporting Sanders, The story from one or two sources claimed they are now considering voting for a Republican since Sanders has strong support? Does that make sense. I looks like someone has been calling all the independent voters,
though no one is claiming that.

Do a search this story just bloomed everywhere at once today.
(New Hampshire independent voters)
Then also this afternoon Facebook and twitter were mobbed up with Hillary supporters never mind that in earlier debates the tilt on both has been to Sanders.
This was no gradual build up it was a sudden increase, today.
Then the very nasty attack by Hillary against Sanders in the debate.
So what do we think? manipulation. As for the overly high polling numbers at first thought ok they know Hillary does have some voters there and it might be closer than the polls and then they could call a Sanders win a loss.
But the sudden dramatic twitter and facebook storm, and the story about independent voters story, made a lot of coincidences.
