Key Findings

 

NH is feeling the Bern! But the interesting stuff is beneath the surface.

Trump is still strong in the polls. Despite having the worst debate performance. Go figure.

Across the board people are worried about racial tensions.

And we still see major gender divides and struggles over work-life balance.

Perhaps whatever the topic, online studies are improving.
