A new poll of New Hampshire likely voters is more bad news for Hillary Clinton. The survey indicates Clinton is the weakest Democrat candidate for next fall’s presidential election…
The poll, of 743 likely voters, found Clinton leading Trump by 8 points, 50-42 percent. Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, however, lead Trump by 20 points, 57-37 percent...
This poll, it should be said, should be taken with a certain grain of salt. The poll’s sample is split 46 percent Democrat, 38 percent Republican and only 17 percent Independent. That composition is completely different than the 2012 electorate, according to exit polls.

I don’t care what this poll says, Sanders would have almost no chance of winning the general election and I doubt he’d carry NH.
Yes, that’s a startling lead that the poll is showing for sanders over trump, even with the dem oversampling.
That Hillary is really kind of a drag.
NH has already voted twice for the Communist in the White House. Only once since after 1988 have they voted GOP (2000) and that only because Nader split the moonbat vote with Gore.
So what? In a narrow GOP win or dem win NH will likely vote rat but it’s still one of the closer dem-leaning states. Remember now only once since 1988 have we won the popular vote nationwide, NH is only slightly more rat than the national average. Less than a single point more democrat in 2012 than the USA at large, little over a single point in 2008, 2 points in 2004. Come on, don’t exaggerate our troubles in NH. If we can win nationally by 5 points we’re taking NH.
If Sanders is nominated (he won’t be because they know he can’t win) it will be a strong GOP win in all likelihood and NH falls to us along with all the swing states.
Obama was an American idol candidate who ran on platitudes and the cool factor and slick BS at a time when the GOP was reeling under Bush. It’s easy to forget but he did NOT campaign as Mr. Hard Left. Sanders is a weird looking old White guy campaigning on unadulterated communism, he has no appeal to anyone who doesn’t always vote dem and he’s not exciting to minorities, no hyper Black turnout for him. There is no comparing them as candidates, Sanders is not electable baring a massive F up by the GOP. Even your guy Donald beats him. This poll showing Bernie up over him by 20 in NH is laughable. Don’t believe the DU BS, Sanders is no one to fear, he’s a joke and a gift.
There is no breakdown within the parties so the poll cannot be made honest
With the article in Breitbart about the Willful distortion of the numbers of the NBC poll, this ludicrous CNN Trump down by 20, all of which have been included in RCP averages, the conclusion is that R C P averages are as much value as soiled bathroom tissue, and need to be disposed of the same way. This goes beyond the false assumptions about party ID on election day. This is about integrity and trustworthiness of people doing polling. It looks like NBC wants to prop up Hillary, and CNN wants Biden. They all fettishly want Trump out, and shove Bush down our throats.
She looks more the albatross with each passing day.
How’s she polling in Leavenworth?
“Sanders would have almost no chance of winning the general election”.......
I thought the same thing about odumbo some 8 years ago.
One thing I have learned in my almost 78 years, never say never.
The problem is that NH has been invaded and taken over by Massholes.
They came up to avoid the high taxes and immediately demanded all of the services they had down south.

Northeast Liberals are like a freakin' cancer. They infect and area and spread until the place is dead.
We lived in a new community in a relatively rural area named Waxhaw near Charlotte, North Carolina. For some reason, New Yorkers are moving in by the droves. Our community went to more than 85% New Yorkers with a few other Northeasterners thrown in as well. The community has a Facebook page and folks now are constantly posting crap about how there needs to be a traffic light here, widen the road there, how come there aren't any services here?, why doesn't the local government do this, that, or the other?
Worse, they like to call themselves conservative, but they don't realize that their version of "conservative" is nothing but Northeastern Liberalism. It's actually quite sad to see it.
We recognized it early and packed up and moved to the mountains. We still see the Facebook page, though, and man, what a mess they've made!
Whether we like to admit it or not, Obama has some appeal to mainstream Americans or else he wouldn’t have won.
If Sanders has that appeal as well, I sure as hell don’t see it. Don’t see it with their prized pig Lizzie Warren either.
Oh, I don’t believe for a moment Sanders winning NH by 20%. But I’m saying it’s not an impossibility that he could win in a state that prefers Democrat Presidential candidates.
I said no POTUS could win re-election with $4 gas, 8% unemployment (13% actual), surging food prices, trillion dollar yearly deficits, and Benghazi.
Ain’t that the truth. I first heard of Zero 15 years ago when he ran against Congressman Bobby Rush in the Dem primary of 2000. Rush made quick work of this guy. It was partially for that reason that I (and a few others) thought if he got the Senate nomination in 2004, there’d be no way IL would vote for a Mohammadan with an extreme ultra-left voting record in the state legislature. Well, we saw how THAT turned out...
If the media had carried McQueeg and Willard the same way they did Zero, they’d have won, too.
If you mean to say they could do it for Bernie too, they’d have their work cut out. There are limits to the power of the media to bend reality.
They probably could: the loveable, wild-haired Stalinist activist.
