2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumClinton loses her lead against tRump for 1st time in NH polling.
So apparently, as the article suggests, NH is "up for grabs"...
Clinton and Trump are both getting 44 percent of the vote in a general-election matchup yet just only a third of all voters have a favorable view of the two likely presidential nominees, according to the new poll.
The poll should cause some concern among Democrats who have counted on New Hampshires four electoral votes for the past three elections.
Clinton was trounced in the primary by Sen. Bernie Sanders and now appears vulnerable even against the widely disliked Trump.
The new poll gives also some ammunition to supporters of Sanders who say he would be a stronger candidate against Trump.
Clintons unpopularity in the Granite State is making the race a tossup in a state where Republicans now hold only one major statewide office.
... Just 35 percent of likely New Hampshire voters rate the former secretary of state favorably while 61 percent say they have an unfavorable view of her, according to the Franklin Pierce-Herald poll.
...Sanders meanwhile is far more popular in New Hampshire than the former secretary of state or the billionaire real estate and entertainment mogul, with 56 percent of likely voters saying they view him favorably and just 34 percent rating him unfavorably.
