In a new Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll of 442 likely Democratic voters in New Hampshire Bernie Sanders leads Clinton 44 to 37. Joe Biden who has not yet entered the race garnered 9% support.
Bernie Sanders has had a very swift rise in the polls. In March he only had 8% support, now he’s at 44%. When people were asked if the candidate ‘supports issues important to you’, only 28% said Hillary while 68% said Sanders and 25% said Biden. Only 3% of those surveyed said Hillary ‘stands firm on the issues’ but 20% said Sanders did. Fifty-one percent said they could vote for Hillary for President but they weren’t enthusiastic about it.
It seems the bloom is off the rose with Hillary Clinton. Does this mean Joe Biden will get in the race? It’s looking more and more likely.

My hope is that the self-serving and disloyal blowhard (Trump) stays in the race long enough to assure that the real Republican candidates can be exposed to the electorate. We need an adult in the white house who loves this country more than himself.
This guy is the one to watch. Very dangerous.
He can’t be anymore dangerous than Trump! They’re both huge problems!
Different sides of the same coin
Just like you, Jeanine! It blows my mind you forgot to mention the margin of error – nearly 5% – and the myriad of other polls showing a massive Clinton lead. Maybe those other polls don’t “Hmong” on this blog; and maybe you don’t either.
Spoken like a true Hillary lover.
With the numbers he’s showing, Sanders won’t go away quietly if he doesn’t win the Democratic nomination. The Dems need to consider that Sanders may be the one to run as an Independent rather than Trump. It may be far fetched, but perhaps he and Trump will both run as Independents, and we’ll have a four way race for the presidency.
Do Democrats ever do that? My guess is the Clinton mafia will make sure that doesn’t happen.
