Elizabeth Warren is about to take the stage here in Exeter, NH, minutes after a new Quinnipiac poll showed Biden with 20% support, Warren with 16%, Buttigieg with 15% and Sanders with 14% in the state.
This is the third Warren event I'm seeing in NH in less than two weeks.

Of the more than a dozen voters I spoke with at these events, the majority were somewhere between firmly and probably decided on supporting Warren at this point.
Even among the NH voters who say they’re set on Warren, if you press them on who else they like, Pete Buttigieg’s name is easily the one I’ve heard most.

Two people volunteered Joe Biden; a couple more said Bernie Sanders.
Pitching her wealth tax here in NH, Warren gets animated as she imitates the wealthiest Americans who don’t want to pay more in taxes. “So sad! Sooo saaad!” she says.

Goes on to imitate them saying: “I worked hard!” Says that’s great, but they’ve got to pitch in more:
Days after Warren sent out a fundraising note calling out sexism (“women are not allowed to be angry”), Warren gets this Q from a female voter in NH:

How can we get men to vote for a woman?

Warren begins her answer w/: How about we give them a tough, smart woman to vote for?
Warren went on to discuss the women's march after Trump's inauguration and it was as animated as I've ever seen her speaking about gender dynamics and responding to a Q about sexism in politics.
Warren says at the march, she watched a 7-year-old girl on her father's shoulders holding a sign, made with lots of glitter, that read: "I fight like a girl.”
More Warren: "All those women – and friends of women, also known as men -- came together and said we’re going to make our voices heard. We’re not going to lie down... We’re going to get back in this fight… and that’s what we did!"
Warren says it was those women who helped create the blue wave in 2018, and why Dems won in Kentucky last week.

She ended this answer with: "And we’re gonna do it in 2020! Bring your glitter!"
Just asked Warren about the "I am angry and I own it" fundraising note she sent a few days ago. She wrote about sexism -- would she say that she has found some of Joe Biden's comments to be sexist?

Warren begins her response with: "I think that you should ask him about that."
First part of Warren's response in full. Says of women (and girls): "We're here, we're strong and we have strong views." Repeats several times that women do get angry:
When I broadened out the Q to ask if she would say there is sexism in the 2020 race, Warren again says that's a Q the men should be asked:

"This shouldn't be a question that just the women have to deal with. This should be a question the men should have to confront head on."
When Warren was asked later about Klobuchar's comments that a woman with Buttigieg's experience wouldn't make it on to the debate stage, Warren says about Buttigieg: "I appreciate his recognizing that he gets a certain advantage by being male."
