Bernie has his biggest lead over Hillary yet
With 13days to the Iowa Caucuses and 21 days to the New Hampshire primary, we are down to the wire.
Republicans, including super PACs allied with major candidates, would rather run against Sanders in the fall and are trying to help his insurgent primary challenge to Clinton now, Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri said in a statement.
Sanders’ rise in the poll comes as New Hampshire voters’ focus on foreign policy and national security faded from 23 percent to 13 percent and the share of those naming the economy and jobs their top priority climbed from 18 percent to 26 percent.
“Here’s the truth: We know we have more supporters than he does”.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has opened up his widest lead yet over rival Hillary Clinton in the crucial state of New Hampshire, according to a new poll released Tuesday.
In addition to a full slate of town halls, rallies and organizing events, Clinton has deployed high-profile surrogates like actress Lena Dunham, U.S. soccer star Abby Wambach, Sen.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was in Charlotte Tuesday for a private fundraiser, but she may be spending a lot more time in the Carolinas. “However, he would still have to overcome Clinton’s demographic advantage in the ensuing contests”, said Murray. When Biden was included in the poll, Clinton led with 60 percent followed by Biden with 16 percent, Sanders with 15 percent and O’Malley slipping back to 2 percent.
Clinton’s major losses were in her support from women (54% against Sanders’ 35%, a ten-point loss) and those under 50 (39% – 52%, down thirteen points). Both Sanders and Trump have healthy leads in New Hampshire.
“I have doubts when people receive huge amounts of money from Wall Street”, Sanders said in the debate.
Sanders, a self-described Democratic socialist, is fueled by strong support among less reliable voters – young people and unregistered Democrats.
“By the way, without naming any names, Goldman Sachs also provides very, very generous speaking fees to some unnamed candidates”, Sanders told the crowd in Carroll, Iowa.
Unfortunately, that was in 2008, and the candidate who won New Hampshire but lost the nomination was Clinton herself. For results among the sample of likely Democratic primary voters, the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.8 percentage points.
