New Hampshire Primary: Clinton 40% Obama 17% Edwards 14%

[wyldwolf]

Senator Hillary Clinton continues to hold a huge lead in the New Hampshire Presidential Primary. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows Clinton earning 40% of the vote and opening up a 23-point advantage over Senator Barack Obama. Obama attracts support from 17% of Likely Primary Voters in the state while former Senator John Edwards is at 14% in this poll.

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson moved into double digits for the first time at 11%. He had been at 9% in the previous Rasmussen Reports poll.

Thirty-nine percent (39%) of New Hampshire Primary voters say Clinton is the candidate of change. Twenty-five percent (25%) say that label applies to Obama and 16% see Edwards as the candidate of change. There is a significant gender gap on this point. By a 43% to 23% margin, women see Clinton rather than Obama as the candidate. Men are evenly divided between those candidates

1. Name recognition AGAIN!

People must be forgetting who Obama is and somehow learning about Bill Richardson (for whom I still retain some hope despite his rather disappointing campaign so far).

[wyldwolf]

2. the last Gallup poll on name recognition found Obama at 95% among Dems

... so If Hillary has 100% and Obama has 95% name recognition, how does that explain at 20+ percent lead?

3. sometimes the dripping icon is unnecessary surely? nt

4. so often serious posts on DU are deserving of the dripping icon...

... but it's just so hard to tell sometimes.
