Latest Poll: Bernie Maintains Massive Lead In New Hampshire

Martin O’Malley, a former governor of Maryland, left the Democratic race earlier this week, and now that Clinton and Sanders are engaged in a one-on-one duel, their differences become more stark, more magnified.

“I think I may not have done the job I should in explaining my record”, she said.

Jeb Bush and Chris Christie both accused Rubio of a lackluster set of accomplishments.

He won’t let Clinton avoid her ties to Wall Street. Support for Sanders, especially among the millennial age bracket, has surged since he announced his candidacy last May.

The state has progressive and libertarian strands influencing its political history – it is the second least religious of all USA states, was one of the first states to legalise gay marriage. A national poll now shows Clinton with just a two-point lead overall in the Democratic primary fight. It is not just about electing a president, it is about getting “millions of people … involved in the political process” who had not been in the past. “He’s a great guy, but he’s not a leader”. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) by 4 points and ties Sen.

For Democrats, this primary race is often cast as a debate between the head – embodied by Clinton’s pragmatism – and the heart – embodied by Sanders’ uncompromising passion for liberal ideas.

Then she challenged him: “If you’ve got something to say, say it directly, but you will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because of any donation I ever received”. “The attitude being: It’s water under the bridge”. Some Cruz allies shared that news widely on the night of the caucuses, including to Carson supporters, but did not include the part about Carson remaining in the race.

“If you’ve believed that Hillary Clinton is going to win this election because other people are going to step up and take care of it, this should be a very loud wake-up call”, a fundraising email sent by campaign finance director Dennis Cheng read.

Cruz has apologized for circulating the rumor based on a news report about Carson traveling to Florida after the Iowa voting.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa … wow”, Bernie Sanders mumbled during one of the exchanges – surely many watching had a similar reaction last night.

Politifact said this is half true.

Unlike the primaries that follow in New Hampshire and South Carolina, Iowa’s caucuses are run by the state parties and not by government, such as a secretary of state’s office, so there is less election law involved.

“We expect way too much of polls, more than they could possibly deliver”, said University of New Hampshire pollster Andy Smith.

In late December, Clinton had led Sanders by a 61-30 point margin.

Clinton leads Sanders 48 per cent to 45 per cent among Democratic voters, according to the poll of 512 people, conducted February 2-5.

Sanders replied that Clinton has described herself as a moderate in the past, and you can’t be both a moderate and a progressive.

Questions about Clinton’s authenticity probably hurt her in Iowa, where the former secretary of state squeaked out a narrow victory over the Vermont senator in Monday’s leadoff caucuses.

Hillary Clinton has another near-tie on her hands. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., as she joined Clinton on the campaign trail in Manchester.

“The public wants to know what the score is”, Smith said.
