CNN NH exit polling...

[tex-wyo-dem]

Registered to vote Democratic Ticket:

41% independents (undeclared)
55% registered Democrats

Good numbers for Sanders!

[Jarqui]

1. I think that's close to normal

I think NH is typically around 40% independent - part of the reason they like it as an early primary

[FreakinDJ]

3. Independents are the Majority party of this country

[thereismore]

2. I don't get it. If "Registered to vote Democratic Ticket" then "registered Democrats" should be 100%

Confusing as hell.

[Codeine]

4. I assume that means

that 55% of the people asking for a Democratic ballot are registered Dems while 41% of them are Indys.

[thereismore]

5. Makes sense, but who are the remaining 4%? nt

[Codeine]

6. Hell if I know.

Margin of error? Smaller parties? Can members of smaller parties do that?

[thereismore]

7. Maybe declined to say.

[Codeine]

8. That's almost certainly it.

Good catch.

[HooptieWagon]

12. Third parties with no primary?

Greens, etc? That would make sense.

[jwirr]

9. Unfortunately Democrats do not always vote in the primary.

In fact to our ruin we don't even all vote in the general.

[thereismore]

11. Do it says 55% of registered democrats actually voted today and 41% indies? That's pretty good. nt

[Warren Stupidity]

10. Nh primaries allow undeclared voters to

temporarily declare for either party, vote, and undeclare going out the door.

[HooptieWagon]

13. Would that also apply to Greens, etc...

...who aren't holding a primary?

[Warren Stupidity]

14. No idea.

[DCBob]

15. That might be good news for Hillary.

Looks like some Indies have peeled away to vote in Republican primary.

Polling indicates Bernie needs alot of Indies to win big. Hillary leads with regular Dems. So this could be closer than many are expecting. We shall see soon.

[DCBob]

17. This is what I was predicting.

This could have an impact.
