US presidential hopefuls Sanders, Clinton in dead heat – Reuters/Ipsos poll

He insisted that Mrs Clinton can not claim to be both a moderate and a progressive, criticising her for raising US$15 million (S$21 million) from Wall Street – prompting some of the night’s sharpest exchanges. “But in terms of the early states – Iowa, New Hampshire, the other states – it just doesn’t work”, Sanders said.

Mrs Clinton, 68, is now hoping to shave his New Hampshire lead and regain some momentum going into friendlier territory later this month in Nevada and SC.

Sanders, who is lagging 30 percent behind Hillary Clinton in SC, welcomed the endorsement as an “enormous help” to communicate his campaign’s agenda to the “African-American community both in terms of economics and criminal justice”. “I happen to share it”.

A woman who said she worked for Clinton’s 2008 campaign in New Hampshire told the ex-secretary of state her explanation of the Benghazi attacks “continues to give me some doubts”.

That poll found that that while Clinton had a substantial lead over Sanders among Democrats, she lagged behind him on the issue of trust: 48 percent said Sanders was more honest and trustworthy, compared with 36 percent for Clinton. And she went after her rival aggressively over his attempts to portray her as being in the pocket of Wall Street because of the campaign donations and the fees she had received for after-dinner speeches.

Born during president Bill Clinton’s second term in office, she says she is leaning towards the Democrats for her first-time vote.

“I’m very proud to be the only candidate up here who does not have a super PAC, who is not raising huge sums of money from Wall Street or special interests”, said Sanders.

Sanders has a big lead in New Hampshire polls, but he was eager to lower expectations for his finish there, casting himself as an underdog.

Sanders said his team believes they may be entitled to at least two additional delegates, but he said, “no matter how it’s recounted, it will break roughly even”, according to CNN. Among Sanders supporters, 19 percent said they could change their mind before Tuesday.

“I don’t think voters are interested in the transcripts of her speeches”, Joel Benenson, Clinton’s pollster, told reporters Friday. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., stands outside the Verizon Wireless Center on Friday in Manchester, N.H.

It’s a sentiment Sanders has echoed for the past five days in the Granite State. “It is for all these reasons that I am proud to endorse Bernie Sanders for president of these United States”.

“A vote in 2002 is not a plan to defeat ISIS”, she said, noting that she has apologized for what she now considers a mistake. The shift in rhetoric may raise questions about who and what Clinton really is.

“That means that the millions and millions of people throughout our country, including many who have given up on the political process, the many who think their vote, their voice no longer matters…need to, with a very loud voice, be heard on Tuesday in new Hampshire and heard all over this country”.

Clinton addressed a broad swath of industries, speaking to supermarket companies in Colorado, clinical pathologists in IL and travel agents in California, to name several.
