In the RealClearPolitics poll, at this point in 2016, Trump was down 10 points. Then suddenly, at the end, the race was a near dead-heat. Trump never believed the polls, and repeatedly returned to the state. It was part of his final campaign swing.
The fundamentals argue that New Hampshire is a swing state. So, the early polls in this state don't mean much.
The Motto of NH is LIVE FREE OR DIE.
Apparently from this poll, many voters have chosen DIE...
I go by yard signs. Just in my travels around Southern NH over the last two months I’ve seen a ton of Trump/Pence sings and only one, small Biden sign almost hiding under a bush.
Just for reference I’m in Rockingham county, which is basically the Republican backbone of the state.
Poll is of registered voters, not likely voters.
Kelly Ayotte was STUPID to allow herself to be taken under the wing of the John McCain/ Lindsey Graham duo and be influenced by them. And THAT sealed what was to eventually become the end of a promising career in Congress.
Where is she now? WTF knows and WTF cares.
NH hasn’t been Red in years. Too many leftist democRATs from Massachusetts have escaped over the border and have polluted New Hampshire.
Back in the mid to late 1970’s New Hampshire was a Conservative state.Since then the Massholes have moved in and changed that state too the worst.
I hope those poll’s are inaccurate.
I live in NH and can tell you that those poll numbers sound about right. The “Live Free or Die” mentality left this state long ago ... we can’t even request HQZ if you get the virus up here ... we would have to go to Mass or Maine to get it! What a friggen joke this state has turned out to be.
When I moved here in the earl 80’s, this state was a staunch conservative state. Repubs held the House, Senate, and Governor’s seat. We had an all Repub US Congress representation.
Then the Massholes moved in, the New Yorkers moved in, the “you name it” moved in for the low taxes (no Income or Sales tax) and brought their political voting history with them. Yes they $hit in their own nest and we all paid the price.
Now the state is all Rats except for the Governor who I hope wins reelection but I’m not holding my breath.
Once Same Day voting and allowing out of state College kids to vote along with all the transplants, the state went belly-up.
I can’t wait to get down to my 10 acres in Florida ... it can’t come soon enough, but need a few more years to pack away more $$$ to do it. I just hope my family can hold on long enough.
I commute 50 miles to work in Lynn Massachusetts each day. There are two Biden signs on my commute. There are hundreds of Trump signs and flags and hundreds more US flags. We know no one voting Democrat flies a US flag. I’ve seen more Hillary and Warren bumper stickers than any other Democrat and most bumper stickers are Trump. Where I work, union workers have hung Trump flags from the rafters. All the talk is about Trump. There are lies, damn lies, and polls.
I hope the President comes to New Hampshire as he's done before because that's given me a chance to see him three times.
But he doesn't have a prayer of carrying the state and there's not a chance that a Republican will be going to DC in January.
“Trump lost [the popular vote] by 0.3..”
As long as we are talking about irrelevant statistics, let’s talk about...
The fact that you can gain more total yardage and still lose a football game.
The fact that you can capture more pieces and still get checkmated in chess...
The fact that you can own more properties and still lose in monopoly.
The fact that you can score more points in wrestling and still get pinned.
The fact that a book can have more pages, and still suck.
The fact that you can have a bigger nose and not be better looking.
Life is full of irrelevant statistics.
