OF INTEREST:

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney maintain their leads in New Hampshire. Clinton polls strongly across genders, religions and age groups, despite Obama's image as the candidate of young people. Clinton has twice the support of Obama among 18-to-29-year-olds. Romney polled well across religious groups, suggesting that his Mormon faith is not an issue in New Hampshire. And while Clinton and Romney pulled a plurality among voters of their respective parties, the picture is unclear among undeclared voters. More than 40 percent of voters who identify themselves as undeclared said they still have not decided if they will vote in the Democratic or Republican primary.

___

The telephone survey done by SRBI Research in New York City of 1,514 New Hampshire voters was conducted Oct. 15-21 for the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College with a sampling error margin of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. The survey includes 613 likely Democratic primary voters with a sampling error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points, 498 likely Republican primary voters with a sampling error margin of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points and 352 undeclared voters with a sampling error margin of plus or minus 5 percent.

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Yes, they maintain their leads, but do you notice who is moving up? It's those moving up that make the poll so interesting. Ron Paul is now in fourth and his radio ads and TV ads are just starting in NH. As his name recognition increases he is sure to continue his rise to the top.
