“She had what appeared to be a very good performance — voters rated it very positively in the debates,” says Steve Koczela, president of the MassINC Polling Group, which conducted the WBUR survey. “And she seems to have stopped the slide that she was experiencing going into the debate.”
Koczela says, by a three to one margin, New Hampshire voters say Clinton won the debate.
But consistent with previous polls, this one identified a big challenge that both candidates continue to struggle with: Neither of them is very well liked. Fifty-one percent of voters have a negative view of Clinton; 61 percent feel that way about Trump.
The poll also found that Clinton continues to build a striking advantage among women. Almost half of them view her favorably. And according to Koczela, a whopping 70 percent of women view Trump unfavorably.
