Latest N.H. Tracking Poll: Trump, Sanders Lead With 1 Day to Go
UMass-Lowell ^ | February 8, 2016 | Christine Gillette

The eighth and final day of results from the UMass Lowell/7News tracking poll of 1,400 New Hampshire voters who were surveyed about candidates in the Feb. 9 Democratic and Republican primaries include:

* With just a day to go before the first-in-the-nation primary, two outsider candidates - businessman Donald Trump and Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders - have double-digit leads. Both candidates have held large leads with likely primary voters since the first day of tracking poll results were released. Today, Trump's lead stands at 21 points and Sanders' at 16 points.

* Trump has the support of 34 percent of likely Republican primary voters, down two points since yesterday. Marco Rubio, who has been Trump's nearest competitor during much of the tracking poll, is down one point to 13 percent, tying him with Ted Cruz, whose support has remained unchanged for the last three days of results. Jeb Bush (no change) and John Kasich (up one point) are both at 10 percent of support, Chris Christie is at 5 percent (up one point), Carly Fiorina is at 4 percent (no change) and Ben Carson is at 3 percent (no change). While New Hampshire voters are known for deciding at the last minute, it would take a huge surge by another candidate to pass frontrunner Trump, who had led every day of the tracking poll. The race for second place between Rubio, Cruz, Bush and Kasich, however, appears very competitive....

Given that New Hampshire is a northeastern, liberal, irreligious state, Donald Trump—a northeastern, liberal, irreligious candidate—OUGHT to do well there. If he gets 40+% there, it would be a big win for him. If he gets in the 35-39% range, he would meet expectations. 30-34%, a disappointment. And under 30%, it would be a loss, even if he finishes first.

Baloney. A win is a win and splitting hairs about how big it is is just selling popcorn to the lost.

Mygosh, in Iowa Cruz supporters said it’s the victory that mattered, not how large it was. Now the size of the victory matters? Which is it?
