Newest NH poll: Hillary 35%, Obama 21%, Edwards 15%; Stick a fork in Fred (he's in 6th place in NH)

From the Boston Globe:

might as well hang it up--he's toast. Mittens is a runaway freight train in NH. I wish Hillary weren't still so far out ahead.

I'd say the same for Edwards. If Edwards wins Iowa by more than a couple of percentage points, and Hillary comes in second. It's over for Obama.

If Hillary wins Iowa by more that a couple of percentage points, we may as well polish her crown because it's over.

Naturally they'll go for him up there.

and that McCain has a decent amount of lingering support but much of his '00 support drifted to Thompson and is now leaving Thompson for Paul. I don't see Giuliani coming in higher than 3rd in NH and I can see him doing as poorly as 5th if everything breaks against him.

Gag, that reminds me of rats. :puke:

Creates a great image in the mind, eh?

The huge question is, given their open primary system, which ballot "independents" will select on election day. If the Repug race is settled, and McLame is finis, Obama might be the most appealing alternative. If McLame doesn't finish in the top three in Iowa, he'll be done anyway.

His wife might be a little pissed, but maybe even she's getting tired of having to keep Juggles and Bouncy under wraps.

What I find telling is that Romney has been spending a fucking FORTUNE on "Pleasantville" type ads, and he's coming in second in 'leadership' and THIRD on dealing with 'terrah?' And he isn't even regarded as the most likely to defeat a Democrat!!!

:rofl:

This is terribly funny, because, as Mike Barnicle AND many others have noted, Mitt Romney basically LIVED in NH while he was governor of MA. You'd think they'd be nicer to a 'native son' of sorts!!!! He spent more time at that obscenely ostentatious lake house than he did in that crampy Belmont mansion. Most telling of all--he's only got Rudy by four lousy points. New Hampshire thinks a guy who wears stockings, high heels, wigs and makeup--a LOT--is only four points shy of their favorite.

Gotta love this GOP field. They really do suck!

best Fred Thomson description ever.LOL

and he's got all that floppy, wrinkled skin around his smaller head, with his droopy jowls and eyes.

He goes a bit overboard on the ole "man tan" too.

is how the polls shifts dramatically for the GOp while is fairly consistent for Dems. The GOP voters are
going to vote for someone they fell has less chance to win in November? Why? Because they hate Guiliani? Other shifts indicate they are completely at see because of their own gullibility or desperation, believing myths about each candidate as sold to them by the media and the talking points without anything coming together. That also indicates they will come together when they are told to, the core of them, because, yes, they are that dumb.

The Dems seem to be locked in some popularity contest haze where there is no difference on the issues or electability than on the preference. This seems also blatantly unreal and conversely united comnpared to the GOP. Obviously, smelling old time victory we want to be united around an old time name. The media also might be making that possible at this stage.

Interesting poll.

THAT WAS THE BEST BONE THE DEMOCRATS GOT SO FAR FROM THE RIGHT;SORT OF SHOWS YOU THEY AREN'T SO SAINTLY MORE LIKE GREEDY FOR POWER!

Which candidate has best chance to defeat the Republican nominee?
Clinton 53%, Obama 17%, Edwards 10% Richardson 3%.

Edwards has 15% percent support, but only 10% think he can win.
33% of his New Hampshire supporters think someone else has a better chance of winning than he does.

The 10% will be a majority after Iowa (or it will dwindle to 0%). We'll see.

I really wish people would post the source on things like this.

Go Hillary!

Also significant - Obama beats Hillary & Edwards - which can be easily explained by the fact that 44% Democrats consider that the initial position on Iraq is very important.
I was also stunned that a staggering 22% of Democrats want us to "stay as long as it needs"
Also, I think when interpreting all these numbers, we need to remember the fact that, nationwide, only 25% nowadays admit to being republicans...

Illegal immigration is most important to only 14% of Republicans in NH? Wow!! Yet a relatively similar percentage of Dems and Repubs consider it 'very' important. I'm also shocked that 4X as many Repubs call for using diplomacy vs. military force with Iran. That's great news, people!

New Hampshire's illegal immigrant is a well-liked gardener named Paco. He never uses the leaf-blower before 10:00am.

find her less trustworthy than another candidate or am I reading that wrong?

:shrug:

You tell me how much having the most "experience" means (and if you think it means so much, please send Dodd a few bucks because he's got lots of great experience and could use a little support).

:shrug:

We're talking perceptions and who is perceived as what. In this poll's case Hillary is seen as the strongest leader and most experienced amongst the Democrats while she is seen as the being the 2nd most honest tied with Edwards.

doesn't mean anything

(which according to another question, matters to 44% of democrats)

It would actually be great if he wins the GOP nom - viagra GOP nominee #2!

Thanks for posting! :thumbsup:
