Voter Gravity conducted the poll by surveying 2,839 New Hampshire Republican primary voters through touchtone telephone responses Thursday, one day after the CNN debate.

"So, what does it all mean?" Voter Gravity asked in a blog post announcing the poll. "The same as it did after the Cleveland debate – not much. It’s still too early to reach any conclusion other than Republican Primary Voters are still impressionable, and debates are opportunities for candidates with less name ID to make an impression."
