New poll shows Bernie Sanders surging past Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire
Jean Guy, 55, a high school teacher in Carroll, and a precinct chair for Hillary Clinton attended Sanders’ event during her lunch break to assess the competition.
“You know, the debate that held up the highway bill forever, just seems so misplaced”, Clinton said.
The obvious path is to highlight the fact that Sanders’ home state shares a lengthy border with New Hampshire and to claim that the primary should be viewed as something like a home state election for her biggest challenger. Clinton remains the overall Democratic favorite, but a Sanders victory in Iowa would be an enormous setback.
Faith Driscoll told WOWT 6 News she has faith that the Democratic candidate will bring a brighter future. Trump said he looked forward to running against Sanders, whom he called a “communist” earlier in the rally. “I would note Bernie Sanders chose not to attend”, Cruz said of the vote, where Democrats blocked an effort by Republicans to curb the flow of refugees into the USA from Iraq and Syria.
Addressing the crowd of about 150 in this northwest Iowa city, Sanders temporarily set aside his campaign stump speech to address what has become the central challenge of his campaign: whether he can actually win. Only 38 percent said they were capitalists.
The North Carolina Republican Party released a statement about Clinton’s Charlotte fundraiser.
Karen Weaver, the Democratic Mayor of Flint, Michigan recently joined the league of people that have endorsed the candidacy of former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton.
On the economy, New Hampshire voters now clearly give Sanders the edge over Clinton as the candidate more trusted to handle it: 57% say Sanders would best handle it vs. 33% for Clinton. Sanders has an unusual draw in the state that could pull a large amount of voters who may have otherwise supported Trump’s more traditional Republican challengers come primary day.
She’s latched herself to Obama’s legacy and cast Sanders’ policy proposals – particularly a government-run Medicare-for-all plan accompanied by increases in individual income taxes and corporate taxes – as impossible to enact in the current political climate.
Ideologically, Sanders is seen as slightly more liberal than the average Democratic voter, Clinton as slightly less liberal than the average Democrat.
