Bernie Up 27 POINTS Over Hillary In New Hampshire
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is not only the choice of Democratic voters in the New Hampshire primary, but he is the Granite State’s overall choice to be the next president, a new poll shows. Bernie Sanders leading Hillary Clinton by a whopping 27 percent in New Hampshire.
Bernie Sanders has a new bus for the last two weeks before the all-important caucuses in Iowa and also a new strategy: attacking Hillary Clinton where she’s most vulnerable.
While one poll still gives Mrs Clinton a 21 point lead over Mr Sanders, another only gives her a six point lead and a third puts the Vermont senator five points ahead.
“With a shrinking margin, a strong showing by Sanders in Iowa and New Hampshire could cut Clinton’s national lead even more”.
Those findings were based on the latest CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll, which was conducted within the last week by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. “On the crucial foreign policy issue of our time, it turns out that Secretary Clinton, with all of her experience, was wrong and I was right”, he said Tuesday.
The Massachusetts Democratic establishment – with the shining exception of Elizabeth Warren – is nearly perfectly unified in its support of Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy.
The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, Palin announced Tuesday she was backing the billionaire real estate mogul while appearing with Trump at a raucous campaign rally in Iowa, where both parties hold their caucuses on Feb 1. Still, Sanders – who has served in Congress since 1991 – said he opposed term limits on lawmakers, calling it “an easy way out of a complicated problem”. New Hampshire polls, meanwhile, still strongly lean Sanders, according to RealClearPolitics. For results among the sample of likely Democratic primary voters, the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.8 percentage points.
As voters filed into events where Sanders made his pitch for increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour and breaking up big Wall Street banks, a campaign soundtrack played a heavy rotation of songs touting revolution.
The Vermont senator’s down-to-business demeanour on the campaign trail has been met with youthful enthusiasm during his unexpected rise in the Democratic race for president.
Sanders also has a 44-point advantage among men and a 14-point advantage among women. Clinton’s favorability among Dems is at 65 percent.
