New Hampshire: Independents, Women and Youth

ABC has parsed the numbers this way:

Barack Obama won independent voters about 8 points.

Hillary Clinton won registered Democrats by about the same margin.

More Democrats than independents voted, 54 percent to 44 percent.

One key segment of Obama’s victory margin in Iowa, youth, did not turn out in New Hampshire as they did in Iowa.

Seventeen percent of 18- to 29-year-olds voted in the Democratic contest in New Hampshire, a proportion similar to the 2000 and 2004 general elections and about 5 percent fewer than in the Iowa caucuses.....
