Romney was up by 4 points on Obama in Dec 2011.  Clinton is doing at worst, 5 points better than Obama was at this point v Rubio and at best 12 points better than Obama was at this point v, Cruz.

I am of course referring to the state's final result, not 2011 polls.

[King]

Which is a dumb thing to do. The challengers are oversaturating the market, so of course the candidate representing the incumbency is going to be down.

4 years ago, you would look at the polls and say, ha ha! I thought Romney had no chance here! He had no chance here. It was easily Obama in the end.

In all seriousness, can we talk about states that are actually going to be competitive now? Virtually all the undecideds and Sanders supporters in NH will vote for Clinton in the end. Nothing to see here, move along. Also, a generic R would probably lose the women's vote in the state by 20+ points while Trump/Carson/Cruz would lose it by 40 points against Clinton. So yeah... there is no path to victory for the GOP here. The Vermontification of NH continues unabated and that's EXCELLENT NEWS!

Why?  So our party can continue to let our association with the South sink our electoral chances?

Obama was up by 6.8 in the RCP average on this day in 2011.

But the polls you linked to show a string of Romney leads until January....

I guess there must have been a pollster or pollsters that got discredited and removed from the database for some reason; Huffpost Pollster doesn't go back further than Jan 1, but it also shows a similarly large Obama lead while all the polls it lists show Romney leads.

[EliteLX]

Hillary takes NH in '16, obviously.

But, competitive numbers for GOP. Nothing for them to drop their heads about. All there is to it for this one, folks. :-)

When even PPP has Bernie doing an average of 3.6 points better than Hillary in the general, he's definitely the stronger candidate.

PLEASE, STOP!!!

Honestly, who cares? Let him forever believe that Sanders would be the best candidate ever in the general. It's not like we'll ever know for certain either way because Sanders is so strong that he can't even win the primary against Hillary.

[pbrower2a]

Can you imagine any would-be Sanders voters voting for anyone other than Hillary Clinton should the Democrats nominate Hillary Clinton? I don't see a Ralph Nader this time.

Seriously though, even winfield didn't have such a hard-on for Romney.

I am beginning to think that you are to NH, what Lief is to Trump. Think about that one!

[Former Democrat]

Good numbers for the GOP against Hillary as long Rubio, Fiorina or Bush is the nominee! Hillary at 38/55 in this blue swing state means she'll never will win this state!

[Eraserhead]

I'll probably be voting for Jill Stein but I'm not expecting many to join me.

Jill Stein of the green party is running again. Last time, there was no real left-wing opposition to the democratic candidate, so she didn't get very far. But this time, Sanders is generating lots of anger at establishment dems, and he may not enthusiastically endorse Hillary when he loses. So there could be real room for Jill Stein to sweep in and get a few of those currently supporting Sanders. Even just getting to 2 or 3 percent statewide could hand NH to republicans.

[Lief 🗽]

NH = safe D.

So are all of you saying that general election matchups and favorable ratings mean nothing?

[Nyvin]

Obama was an incumbent in 2012 though,   also he didn't have primary challengers.   That's gotta count for something...

[Bull Moose Base]

But I think Clinton is overperforming Obama from 4 years ago.

And Sanders is overperforming Clinton right now.

[henster]

Fav/unfav 38/55 for Hillary Clinton, no one has explained how she is going to recover from these numbers, especially since what's ahead in the GE is a barrage of negative ads against her. The negative ads haven't started so that # could be even worse months from now. Its difficult to to turn out and vote for someone you don't like, people liked Obama, Bush Jr., Bill Clinton, Reagan etc.

[Xing]

FYI, TNvolunteer is secretly a Republican operative in NH, hoping to make Democrats take the state for granted. NH is a Lean D state, but Democrats can't get cocky. They need to spend some time here, especially if they want to win the senate and gubernatorial races here.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It wil go 51/49 state just like Pa.
