Dartmouth's got a new poll out. In it Hodes is besting both Sununu and the BassMaster, but I'm more interested in the sample:
Sample demographics
The poll sample drawn appears to be representative of the voting population in New Hampshire. Approximately half of respondents were male (49.1 percent) and half were female (50.6 percent). The poll was administered evenly across the state's congressional district: slightly more than half of respondents were in the 2nd Congressional District (56.9 percent) and slightly less than half were in the 1st Congressional District (42.9 percent). The mean and median ages of the respondents were 57.9 and 56, respectively. Respondents indicated if they were registered to vote as Democrats (27.8 percent), Republican (31.5 percent), and undeclared/independents (40.2 percent).
On Cloud Hampshire, Democrats make up only 25.63% of the electorate, Republicans dominate with 31.63% of the share, and the remaining 42.72% are Undeclared.
In New Hampshire, Democrats are actually the party in the driver's seat, with 29.44% of the people's choice, followed closely by Republicans with 29.26%. Undeclareds round it out with 41.27%
So it appears that Green Hampshire, while closer to walking on the Granite, still buries its head in the clouds.*
One interesting point is the median age. That struck me as too high, even given the traditionally poor - or in NH, strong? - showing of younger voters. But perhaps it isn't? Your thoughts welcome.
