Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders now has a 9-point lead over front-runner Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, after trailing her so far in the race, according to NBC News/Marist polls released Sunday.
The polls also show Sanders, I-Vt., gaining ground on Clinton in Iowa.
The states -- Iowa and New Hampshire -- are the first and second states, respectively, to hold 2016 primary votes. And the outcomes of those ballots often determine the future of the presidential campaigns.
The New Hampshire poll shows Sanders getting support from 41 percent of the state's likely Democratic vote, compared to Clinton with 32 percent and Vice President Biden with 16 percent. Biden is still considering a campaign, and no other Democratic candidate receives more than 1 percent of the vote, according to the poll.
The margin of error in the poll was 5.2 percent.

What percentage of the Democratic vote does Jeb Bush get? Of, I forgot, he’s running as a Republican.
Oh my. The Bern is burning the Beast in NH.
People just don't like Hillary Clinton and it seems Democrats will vote for anybody over her.
I don't think Joe Biden will run because while the nomination is probably his, he doesn't want his legacy to be that he was beat in the general by Donald Trump.
Very interesting few months are coming up.
Hillary is in a bit of a bind here. She has name recognition. But the more undecided Democrats hear from Hillary, the less they like her. And the more they hear from Sanders, the more they like him.
Hillary’s only advantage is that she controls the DNC. And the DNC has the power to limit debates. And so far the DNC has approved of only four (as apposed to more than 15 in 2008).
LOL——good one.
Total chaos is going on in the DemocRAT Party. One has to wonder if they can recover enough to prevent 2016 from becoming a massive GOP landslide.
Fixed it. You're welcome. ;-)
THIS BEATS ALL You think Hillary's said some stupid things? Now this is simply astonishing:
BACK IN DECEMBER HILLARY GOT BIG BUCKS HONORARIA TO SAY" "This is what we call smart power," Clinton said to a small student audience at Georgetown.
"Using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security. Leaving no one on the sidelines. Showing respect even for one's enemies. Trying to understand, in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view."
"Helping to define the problems, determine the solutions. That is what we believe in the 21st century will change -- change the prospects for peace."

ANALYSIS Former Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North said the comments are “irrational.” “I can’t think of a presidential candidate who would have said those kinds of things,” he said. “Think about December 7, 1941 and then FDR going to the Congress of the United States the next day saying, ‘We need to have more empathy for Japan.’”
"Can you imagine George Bush standing atop the rubble of the World Trade Center with his bullhorn saying, 'I hear you! And soon the people who took these buildings down will be getting more respect and empathy from us!' "

This pretty much assures that Biden and possibly The Squaw will jump in. With this now happening, it may well prevent the Dems from being able to choose our nominee, as they’ll be too tied up with their own battles, and it’s also likely that Trump will have enough of a lead for them not to even see anything to be gained.
It’s all good news for our side...finally seeing Hillary put out to pasture, for the last time.
“Total chaos is going on in the DemocRat Party”.
News flash.
There is total chaos going on in both parties. Or in just one party called the Uniparty. There is even chaos here with us conservatives. But at least we have a few to pick from which should help in the end. Trump, Carson, and Fiorina have changed the landscape for the better and I am glad they are turning things upside down.
The Left ready to support a self-touted socialist over Hillary - lots of ammo in that fact...
Wonderful. We will get to run against either a sagging old socialist or a sagging old socialist criminal.
This same NBC/Marist poll, released today, of Iowa and New Hampshire, has Trump leading both states with 29% and 28% respectively.
