A stunning new poll has Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) beating presumptive Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire.
Sanders has eclipsed Clinton by a 44 to 37 percent margin, according to a new Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll that was first reported by the Boston newspaper Tuesday evening.
The previous FPU/Herald poll taken in March had Sanders trailing Clinton 44 to 8.
Today's poll is the first to show Sanders, whose liberal policies are popular with the Democratic base, ahead of Clinton in New Hampshire.
And it comes as reports surfaced that Clinton will turn over her private email server that she used while leading the State Department to Justice Department officials.
Meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden garnered 9 percent, with the other remaining candidates hovering at around 1 percent, according to the poll.
Pollsters telephoned 442 likely Democratic voters in New Hampshire between Aug. 7 and Aug. 10. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.7 percentage points.
Clinton maintains a dominant lead in other polls. During her failed bid for presidency in 2008, she surged to narrowly win the New Hampshire primary after losing to then-Sen. Barack Obama in the Iowa caucuses.
The DEMS sure don’t have much to choose from this election cycle, do they? A washed up hag with possible criminal charges pending, and a tired, weak, over-the-hill socialist. How exciting!!!
With crazy Uncle Joe Biden waiting in the wings.
Down goes Clinton! down goes Clinton!
Sanders is an admitted socialist
That fact that democrat voters favor him proves that every democrat is a socialist
Somehow the establishment candidate dominates, no matter what these polls say.
NH is done. It was invaded by MA refugees and VT lesbians running pancake houses. The liberty loving folks just gave up.
Even the Old Man on the Mountain gave up.
There’s always Al Gore.
At least Sanders is honest about what he is. As far as I know he hasn’t had any major scandal attached to him and certainly nothing like endless lawlessness that is the MO for the PIAPS.
This is the funniest headline I have read in a long time———
Can you say toast? :-)
Biden/Sanders vs. Trump/Cruz?
Couldn't have a more startling contrast in ideologies; Socialists vs. Conservatives. LOL
Can I get a side of Cole Slaw? LOL
True - Sanders is just their Pat Buchanan.
We vote in 180 days.
These polls, and the idea that there is a meaningful “race”, is just media pimping their product.
Unfortunately, if you check out the liberal sites like HP you’ll see that the RATS are very happy with their choices. All the Sanders supporters will vote for Hillary in the end. What is the difference between two Stalinists anyhow?
