Holding a Finger to the Wind

Posted: 04 Dec 2015 09:09 PM PST

This is the place to come if you want to discover which way the wind is blowing in the state that holds the first presidential primary. The day of my visit those winds reached 82 mph at the top of Mount Washington, visible to the west, its summit eerily bare of snow -- for now. Another gust -- they're coming at a compass reading of 270 degrees -- and you can discover that only a quarter of Granite State residents support the Common Core standardized national curriculum for public schools, about the same rate that regards the state's economy as "excellent" or "good" -- a figure that, significantly for the February primary here, is substantially down from last year.
