We’re starting to get a feel now for how the Democratic race is playing out in New Hampshire after Obama’s big win Thursday night in Iowa.
A second New Hampshire poll taken after the Iowa caucus is just out. The American Research Group poll, taken yesterday and today, shows Obama up by 12 over Hillary. The other purely post-Iowa poll, from Rasmussen, shows Obama up 10.
We also have two new three-day tracking polls out today, both of which just have one day of post-Iowa numbers, but already show a move toward Obama. The Zogby tracking poll still has Hillary ahead of Obama, but he cut her lead in half on the strength of Friday’s numbers. The Suffolk University tracking shows Hillary’s lead over Obama cut from 12 points to 7 points with the addition of the Friday numbers.
Taken together, things are looking very good for Obama. Will Hillary hit the panic button and go negative? So far, she hasn’t.
