Polling data from NH
January 9th, 2008Watched the Newshour tonight.
Amy Walter, editor-in-chief of the National Journal’s political daily The Hotline had this to say about the results from New Hampshire:
The real story, though, I think is — the divide here is on the socioeconomic issues between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. And, quite frankly, even though John Edwards running as a populist, he was never really part of the debate for many of these voters, who really thought, if you made less than $50,000, you supported Hillary Clinton.
If you did not have a college degree, you supported Hillary Clinton. If you thought the economy was worsening, you supported Hillary Clinton. If you thought things were going well, you had a postgraduate degree, you were making more than $100,000 a year, you voted for Barack Obama.
And it really almost went exactly down the line as that.
Wow, this really surprises me. I would have thought maybe the reverse! Any explanations out there?
