WHOA … Hillary Clinton is up by only 2 points over Donald Trump in New Hampshire in a new poll out by WBUR (in 2012, President Obama beat Mitt Romney 52.2% – 46.4%):
NH poll has Clinton +2 over Trump. Obama won state by 6 in '12 https://t.co/eSOQayWQmW

And this should make Sen. Kelly Ayotte sleep a little easier tonight:
Close presidential race in NH is good news for Ayotte, who worried about an anti-Trump wave. Why she's tried to have it both ways on Trump.

This NH poll doesn't really fit with the narrative that Trump is The Worst Thing Ever To Happen To Kelly Ayotte …

Although the poll does show Ayotte still losing:
Our new #NHSen poll for @WBUR finds it very close:
Hassan 48%
Ayotte 46%https://t.co/Orbs7h47IZ— Steve Koczela (@skoczela) May 18, 2016
More from the poll. Clinton leads among women while Trump leads with men and those 18-29:
Likely to see more of this too before November: in @WBUR NH poll @HillaryClinton +20 among women, @realDonaldTrump +17 among men.

Small sample & different from ntl #s but biggest red flag 2 @HillaryClinton in @WBUR NH poll: she trails @realDonaldTrump among 18-29.

If it’s not Clinton, however, Trump gets crushed 54%-38% by Bernie Sanders:
New @WBUR poll of NH:
Clinton 44
Trump 42
Other cand. 7
Undecided 7
.
Sanders 54
Trump 38
Other cand. 4
Undecided 4https://t.co/Orbs7h47IZ— Steve Koczela (@skoczela) May 18, 2016

The open question is what happens when Clinton does secure the nomination. Will all of these Sanders supporters really vote for Trump?
