US Rep. Tim Ryan spent today stumping for Hillary Clinton

YOUNGSTOWN — U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, who spent today campaigning on behalf of Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, said the Democratic presidential candidate should consider it a success if she loses the Granite State’s primary Tuesday by less than 20 percentage points.

“New Hampshire is going to be tough because they’ll vote for the regional candidate” U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Ryan said. “The map for her after New Hampshire is favorable. You get into South Carolina and Nevada, and she’ll do well there. Then as the campaign moves on, she’ll continue to do well.”

RealClearPolitics.com, a website that aggregates polling data, shows that four recent polls of New Hampshire Democrats have Sanders ahead of Clinton by 20.5 percentage points.

Ryan of Howland, D-13th, is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire School of Law and campaigned on Clinton’s behalf in that state late last year.
