MANCHESTER, N.H. (WHDH) -
It's not an earthquake, yet...But the political ground in New Hampshire is moving.
We're seeing more of Iowa's impact, and the war of words underway here.
Hillary Clinton is coming back; and Marco Rubio is coming up.
Sanders still has a significant lead over Clinton-- 58% to 36%-- a 22 point margin.
But look at the direction of the tracks: Sanders is down three and Clinton is up four, our biggest single gain since we started this poll.
http://www.whdh.com/story/31137507/hiller-instinct-7newsumass-lowell-new-hampshire-tracking-poll-day-4
Day 1: 61-30 Sanders +31
Day 2: 63-30 Sanders +33
Day 3: 61-32 Sanders +29
Day 4: 58-36 Sanders +22
This indicates that with rolling averages and days that fall off that after the Iowa victory Hillary has been coming back pretty strongly in NH--probably not enough to win it, but make it much closer than anticipated. My guess is that today that 33-point Sanders lead from Day 2 is still showing up--it will be interesting to see what the results will be tomorrow. If Hillary has another good day then there should be another good shrinking of Sanders' lead.

(67,782 posts)....after Vermont on March 1, there are no other states where he's even close to winning.

LOVE your sense of humor, yallerdawg!

(1,968 posts)stating that Clinton might win NH as I feel it's an unreasonable assumption (Sanders does have home field advantage here).
Saying that the race is closing? Woo-hoo! And I do think it'll close much further--my personal guess is Sanders +10 in NH, but I'd be quite pleased if Clinton did better than that.

(92,219 posts)that it is an uphill battle for Hillary in NH, this could tighten up a lot more, as the OP is showing

(11,573 posts)in just a few days. She should have gotten a bump from the Town Hall and should get a second from the debate.
Voters are beginning to realize-if they haven't already--that Sanders has nothing to offer besides bluster and platitudes where Hillary has specific goals with specific steps to reach them, and measurable outcomes and evaluation criteria.

(10,845 posts)I'm ready to call a loss by 15 or less a win!
Wouldn't it be fabulous if she could squeak out a win? Heads would explode.

(15,951 posts)so it mirrors this poll which has Hillary gaining ground since Iowa. I'll be interested to see what the tracking poll shows tomorrow.
