And what’s with the women voters, why did they abandon her? They tend to favour Mrs Clinton as well.

Allies of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have formed a nonprofit organization that aims to boost Latino and African-American voter registration and expand voter-protection efforts, writes the Associated Press. Their contest in recent weeks has been pitched, as it must be, directly to the Democratic faithful.
Clinton, Feb. 8: Senator Sanders took about $200,000 from Wall Street firms. I don’t know how he’ll sell in the South. I don’t know how he’ll sell in states where he’s still a relatively unknown quantity. She hasn’t released that. Tim Scott, who enjoys broad popularity in the state, and Rep. Trey Gowdy, who’s won plaudits for his role leading the special House committee investigating the 2012 attacks in Benghazi. While Sanders has been a senator for years, he has stayed out of the national spotlight.
Mr Trump and Mrs Clinton remain the favourites to secure their parties’ nominations. More than 80 percent of young women between the ages of 18 and 29 also supported Sanders while 56 percent of women over the age of 45 said they backed Clinton.
Sanders won a bigger share of the social conversation among millennials in New Hampshire than rival Hillary Clinton before Tuesday’s primary, according to Yik Yak, an app that has mostly younger users.
The relevant demographic in the next primaries is race not gender, and so far she’s kept her advantage there.
He drew 62 percent support among the half of GOP New Hampshire voters who want the next president to be from outside the political establishment. She’s been collecting endorsements from scores of Democratic senators, representatives and governors since 2013.
At stake Tuesday were less than 1 percent of the delegates who, at party national conventions in July, will choose nominees to succeed Obama.
“You don’t know me”, Kasich told people in Mount Pleasant, a suburb of Charleston.
Hors d’oeuvres were passed around and the beer flowed as the real-estate mogul trounced his rivals, winning 35 percent of the vote – a 20-point margin from his nearest rival, the gentler John Kasich, governor of OH, in the biggest statistical victory the state has handed to a Republican in 16 years.
A major problem for the Republicans is that away from the party primaries, Trump’s support is much less broad – particularly among Hispanic and black voters. It’s not just that we have a shocking demagogue or a profane performer topping the polls in the Republican presidential race. But this kind of win guarantees at least a few things – that the race is going to last for a while and that Sanders’s message, which is attracting many millions of small donors and many millions of dollars, will get heard. The question now how far will they go. They may be a minority in their party, but they have leveraged their influence to take the majority by the throat. The withdrawal of Fiorina and Christie – who was running out of money while neglecting his day job running New Jersey – leaves Trump, Kasich, Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, and Ben Carson in the hunt for the Republican nomination while Sanders and Clinton go mano a mano for the Democratic mantle.
Second, the split on the Republican side is serving him exquisitely.
And Gov. John Kasich appears – for now – to have supplanted Florida Sen. Still, he’s giving Jeb Bush a poke.
“Oh, and by the way”, Barbour added, “he should buy Chris Christie a steak dinner for his hand in changing the entire momentum of the race in New Hampshire just three days before the primary”.
That’s not much of a winnowing.

Now Bush and Rubio head to the first-in-the-South primary February 20 still competing toe-to-toe with each other for the same spot – and there is, at best, only a single spot – in the GOP: to be the last man standing to confront front-runners Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, if someone can take them on at all.
