The only female Democratic candidate for president may have a problem with male voters in that party, judging by a new Suffolk University poll of the New Hampshire primary. The poll, which shows former secretary of state Hillary Clinton below 50 percent support and just 10 points ahead of senator Bernie Sanders, reveals an interesting detail about where Clinton is weakest among Granite State Democrats.
While Clinton does better with female Democrats—47 percent to Sanders’s 28 percent—she’s actually losing men to the Vermont senator. Within a relatively small sample of likely male Democratic voters in New Hampshire, Sanders wins 75, or 35 percent, while Clinton wins 69, or 32 percent. See the details of the crosstabs here.
Clinton is certainly helped by her appeal with female voters, but if the Suffolk poll bears out, it suggests men in the Democratic party aren’t as enthusiastic about their party’s leading candidate. On MSNBC’s Morning Joe Tuesday Bill Kristol and Mika Brzezinski debated Clinton’s potential trouble with another demographic groups: young voters. Watch the video below:
