New Hampshire Polls

I concede that these polls are mostly meaningless at this point, but they do tell us something about how people are currently looking at the race.

Survey USA(New Hampshire)
Clinton 40%
Obama 25%
Edwards 23%
Other(s) 9%

So, what do these numbers tell us?
They tell us that this is still a three-way race. Another thing to remember is that the amount of people who know Hillary Clinton and John Edwards have to be off the charts. Whereas, Obama's name ID has been hovering at around 50%. Now, New Hampshire voters pride themselves on being knowledgable about presidential campaigns. So, I would say Obama's name ID is probably slightly higher in NH then in most states. So, there is still an upside for Obama in this poll, especially since he hasn't even offically announced.

There is denying that this poll is good news for Hillary, but it is not entirely bad news for Obama. The thing for Edwards to take away from this poll is that he is still in the conversation and has not yet been grouped in with the "other(s)" category.
