NH Poll: Sanders trouncing Clinton by 27 points

The new poll shows Bernie Sanders leading with 60 percent of the vote to Clinton’s 33 in New Hampshire, seeing a huge expansion in the senator’s lead since mid-November, when the same poll tipped him to edge Clinton out by only seven percentage points.

Nationally, Ms Clinton still has a strong lead over Mr Sanders according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey, she is 25 percentage points ahead. The survey center said 52 percent of those polled said they were registered undeclared, or independent voters, while 24 percent were registered Republicans and 23 percent were registered Democrats.

Jennifer Palmieri, the communications director for Clinton, said that there are those from the Republican National Committee that are helping Sanders because they see Clinton as a threat during the coming election.

In a match-up of the current New Hampshire front-runners in each party, Sanders leads Republican businessman Donald Trump, 57 percent to 34 percent, with 6 percent favoring another candidate and 3 percent undecided. Both talked over each other, and although Sanders always tends to speak in a bit of a yell, Clinton turned up her volume quite a bit, her voice at times hoarse. The poll includes interviews with a random sample of 927 adult residents of New Hampshire, including 420 who say they plan to vote in the Democratic presidential primary.

The race to become the Democratic presidential nominee is heating up exponentially as candidates race toward the Iowa caucus, which is set for February 1st, less than two weeks away.

With 13 days to go, it’s Hillary Clinton’s nightmare scenario-the possibility that Bernie Sanders’ youth brigade could topple her in Iowa.

Ironically, Democrats have tried to hide Clinton during debate season, as they did this past Sunday, when they stuck a debate on a Sunday night.

Mrs. Clinton likely stepped up her attacks after seeing the latest poll numbers coming out of Iowa and New Hampshire. Not only can she not let Mr Sanders whisk away the Left-progressive votebank, she will also have to keep a grip on the sizeable Black and Latino voters. “And we are concerned that Senator Sanders has not thought throughthese crucial national security issues that can have profound consequences for our security”. The December poll found him trailing Clinton, 47% to 40%, among that group.
