HUFFPOLLSTER: ‘Outsiders’ Won Big In New Hampshire

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire, marking a loss for the party establishments but a triumph for polling . There are few surveys to set expectations in South Carolina or Nevada. And Democrats are warming up to the “liberal” label. This is HuffPollster for Wednesday, February 10, 2016.

ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT VOTERS PUSH DONALD TRUMP AND BERNIE SANDERS TO WIN NEW HAMPSHIRE - Gary Langer: "A powerful pushback against the established political order lifted Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders alike in New Hampshire….Trump was boosted to victory by broad support among voters seeking a political outsider, anger at the federal government, strong worry about the economy and terrorism and substantial backing for some of his controversial proposals. He did best with less-educated voters, those looking for blunt talk and those who see better days ahead – classic elements of a populist movement. Sanders, for his part, crushed Clinton on the personal attributes of honesty and empathy, whaled among independents and liberals and won young voters – including young women – by extraordinary margins. He prevailed by a vast 70-29 percent among voters focused on income inequality and ran very close with Clinton in two of her strongholds – mainline Democrats and nonwhites, as rare as the latter are in New Hampshire."
