Analysis: Another New Hampshire poll continues to show Dole ahead, but dropping. Which is correct? The answer depends on how many independents show up to vote in the Feb. 20 primary. Forbes does better among independents than among registered Republicans. Among the people surveyed by KRC, 27% were independents. The poll showing Dole ahead included fewer. In the 1992 primary, independents made up about 26% of the GOP turnout.
