Bernie Sanders leads the race for the Democratic nomination in New Hampshire, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire.
Overall, 25% of likely Democratic primary voters back the Vermont senator, with former Vice President Joe Biden (16%), former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg (15%) and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (12%) battling for second place. Behind these four, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar (6%), Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (5%) and businessman Andrew Yang (5%) make up a third tier of candidates.
Sanders' edge in New Hampshire, a state he won by more than 20 points in the 2016 primaries, comes as polling from CNN and others in Iowa and nationally shows him gaining ground. In New Hampshire, he has edged up 4 points since the last CNN/UNH poll there in October. Warren has slid 6 points in that time. Biden holds about even with his October support and Buttigieg has gained 5 points.
As in polling elsewhere, shifting preferences among liberals have changed the dynamic of the race: Sanders has gained 13 points among liberal likely primary voters in New Hampshire while Warren has dropped 7 points. Sanders now holds a clear lead within that group: 39% back him, 21% Warren. The Vermont senator has also made gains since October among women (rising from 19% to 27%), and among registered Democrats (from 20% to 29%).
And when asked who they think will win the primary in New Hampshire, nearly 40% of likely Democratic primary voters name Sanders (39%).
About half (49%) of likely Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire say they are still deciding on their choice, outweighing the 3 in 10 who are firm in their choice (31%). Another 20% say they are leaning toward their candidate but haven't yet definitely made up

Perfect scenario for Trump. Even the most vengeful NeverTrumpers won’t back Bernie in November.
That an open, unapologetic socialists is in the top 3 candidates for the nomination of a major political party doesn’t bode well for this Nation.
What is a “NeverTrumper?”
Mitt Romney, e.g.
the rcp poll average indeed shows biden ahead in NH
but bidn is still ahead in every other early primary state, in some cases very substantially ahead, which matters because all Dem primaries/caucuses allocate delegates proportional to the vote ...
RE: That an open, unapologetic socialists is in the top 3 candidates for the nomination of a major political party doesn’t bode well for this Nation.
Yes, and that a huge number of his supporters are YOUNG Americans does not bode well for this country’s future.
The Democrat Party. R.I.P.
25+16+15+12 = 68
But the article says that 49% haven't decided who to support...
What's up wit dat?
So-called conservatives who refused to support or vote for him. Like George Will, the so-called conservative columnist, who has labeled Trump a "vulgarian".
Demographics is destiny.
Common core math.
Don’t worry, the DNC and their Media pals will hatch some dirty-tricks scheme to (politically) stick a shiv in Bernie’s back ... the DNC has made it clear they want Biden, even despite all the corruption, the groping, and the verbal nonsense
Bernie’s supporters will be ticked off again
Bloomberg?
Poor thing...
“It’s possible the world could actually run out of popcorn!”
Not a normal person in the Democratic Field.
January 23rd, he had 49% of the poll compared to Hillary with 42%.
Wow... That's outstanding, Bernie, losing 60% of your vote to ‘anyone but Bernie.’
My SO has been sounding the alarm on Buttboy since he announced his run.
I scoffed at SO’s warning on Obama when he spoke the first time after his Senate win.
I am not laughing anymore.
