Sanders won seven of the state's ten counties, with his highest margin of victory coming in Cheshire County (31.4%, versus 21.3% for Buttigieg). Buttigieg won the remaining three counties, doing best in Rockingham County with 26.7% of the vote.<ref>https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state2.php?year=2020&off=0&f=0&evt=P&elect=1&fips=33</ref>
Though the strong performance by Sanders and Buttigieg was expected by most, given their success in the Iowa caucuses, the third-, fourth-, and fifth-place finishes were. Klobuchar, who until recently had been considered an also-ran, experienced a significant surge in the days before the primary, collecting a solid 20% of the vote and winning a plurality in many towns.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/02/11/amy-klobuchar-out-performs-expectations-in-new-hampshire/</ref> By contrast, Warren, who had been expected to perform well in a state neighboring her own, failed to win even a tenth of the vote, a result that led many political commentators to state that her campaign was effectively over. Meanwhile, Biden, who performed even more poorly with 8.4% of the vote, left the state even before the results were known, vowing to launch a comeback in [[Nevada]] and [[South Carolina]], claiming that their higher minority populations would be more supportive of his campaign. Nonetheless, it was widely agreed that his campaign, like Warren's, was "now almost certain to fail."<ref>https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/02/bidens-campaign-was-a-disaster-for-liberalism-and-his-party.html</ref>
The New Hampshire primary was seen as reinforcing Bernie Sanders' status as the effective Democratic frontrunner, and raising the prospect of a civil war within the party between Sanders and his fellow [[socialists]], and the [[globalist]] donor class who see an openly socialist platform as a certain loss in the general election.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/02/12/ingraham-unless-dems-coalesce-sanders-will-become-the-juggernaut/</ref>
