Poll: New Hampshire voters put Clinton in the lead after first debate

Hillary Clinton carries a 7-point lead over Donald Trump in New Hampshire, according to a new poll of voters in the smallest battleground state taken after Monday’s presidential debate.

A WBUR poll released Friday shows the Democratic presidential hopeful beating Trump 47 to 38 percent in a head-to-head matchup, and 42 to 35 percent when third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are included. In a two-way race, Clinton also carries a 13-point lead among independent voters, who make up about 40 percent of the New Hampshire electorate.
