CNN, FOX, MSNBC: Bernie Sanders Wins New Hampshire Dem Primary

Some items from the exit polls – among voters who voted in the Democratic primary:

Honesty and trustworthiness is the most important candidate attribute, selected by more than three in 10 voters in preliminary exit poll results. Next are “someone who cares about people like me” and experience, at just more than a quarter each. Only about one in 10 are choosing “electability” as the top attribute. In Iowa, Sanders won with honesty and empathy voters, Clinton on experience and electability.
Far more New Hampshire voters see Sanders as honest and trustworthy than Clinton, and they feel he shares their values more so than she does.
Among four issues, more Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire say income inequality or the economy/jobs are their top issues, each cited by about a third. Health care is a top issue for about a quarter of voters, while terrorism trails far behind in priority.
Sanders does much better than Clinton in trust to handle income inequality and the economy, and somewhat better on health care; they’re even on gun policy. Clinton beats Sanders in trust to handle one remaining issue: an international crisis.
Two-thirds of voters support replacing the current health care system with a “single taxpayer-funded plan for all Americans,” a policy Sanders has championed.

Also it looks like there was a big turnout of young voters and independent voters.

As expected. The question is the margin of the final result.

I don’t think anyone was expecting Hillary to win this. I think if she gets more than 40% of the vote she’ll have outperformed expectations. Either way, I don’t think this will affect her much.
