New poll shows Sanders ahead of Clinton in New Hampshire

[Forkfoot]

Sanders seen at 44 percent, Clinton with 39 percent of likely New Hampshire primary voters

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders is leading Hillary Clinton for the first time among likely primary voters in New Hampshire, a Boston Herald/Franklin Pierce University poll shows.

According to the poll, Sanders has 44 percent of the vote, while Clinton has 37 percent.

Vice President Joe Biden, who hasn't announced a run for the White House yet, is in third with 9 percent of the vote.

But here's the craziest part: Because of the media spin, all these people putting him at number one STILL don't believe he'll win. They still think they're part of a tiny fringe group with no chance in hell.

However, when those who were polled were asked who they felt would most likely win the Democratic nomination, 65 percent said Clinton would be victorious, while 11 percent said Sanders.

They all still think they're alone.

Time is going to boost Bernie's profile. Its not going to be so shocking in 6 months' time.


He even does better than Hillary in swing states.

All the Sanders fans will jump on the Clinton war-wagon once Bernie jumps out of the race. Look he attracts a lot of people (mostly college kids and burned out socialists who resent the rich). But look for all its worth Clinton is the best chance at beating a GOP (Koch bought) Candidate. People need to remember this come the primaries a vote for Sanders is a vote for the GOP (essentially).

seems right

It no longer makes any sense at all to say that this will happen.

You really think he will win the Democratic nomination? If he does than a Republican will be president.

You are OUT of your mind and do NOT know American politics if you think a man who OPENLY calls himself a socialist will become president of the United States. Obama had nearly half the country railed against him because he 'appeared' to be a socialist according to his hatters.

Being from that area I always assumed he'd be popular there. Can he beat her in big states like California, New York or Florida? I doubt it.

I thought recent data, including post before yours said the opposite, do you have any source? this could be a big point...........

He definitely can win it, and you're out of your mind if you think he can't. His numbers keep getting better and better, with no sign of slowing down. You're out of your mind if you think he hasn't got a solid shot at this.

If someone would've asked you in May if a man who openly calls himself a socialist would be ahead of Hilary in NH in August, you would have laughed in their face. American politics is already surprising you. And you're out of your mind if the top GOP hopefuls don't look extremely beatable to you.

I've been saying for months that Hillary isn't going to win the nomination. But with poll numbers this low, and Biden hasn't even entered the race yet.... wow... she may not even make it to the primaries.

She, and Jeb Bush may not even make it to the primaries. Wow. Who would have thought this would be a possibility.

Hillary must have a ton of skeletons in the closet. If some of them come out at an opportune time it could open the door.

 

[Count Zero]

according to his hatters.

Too early in the race and Hillary really hasn't made a push. I like Bernie probably more than any other Presidential candidate, but he's frontrunning right now. Polls are fickle at this point.

I hope Bernie gets the nomination but it's going to go to Clinton.

His numbers have been getting better, but the rate at which they've been getting better has slowed significantly.

I agree that he can beat GOP hopefuls, though.

Why even bother running against Trump in the end? We need someone as far opposite as Obama as fucking possible.

 

[no fat chicks]

most of the people who rally against obama calling him a socialist are actually rallying against him for melanin related reasons me thinks

 

[Forkfoot]

The tipping point has been reached. You are now bat shit crazy if you think Bernie CAN'T win. There's really no longer any reason to maintain that belief. Though I suppose this belief is mostly held by people who also believe Jesus died for their sins, so...

Dude he just took the lead in New Hampshire. Let's not pretend that's not huge.

Bernie Sanders is far further from Barack Obama than some billionaire reaping the fruits of the status quo.

Would be hilarious if it ended up being Sanders vs. Trump for the presidency.

You couldnt spell out class warfare any clearer than that.
