Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has opened up his widest lead yet over rival Hillary Clinton in the crucial state of New Hampshire, according to a new poll released Tuesday.
The new WMUR/CNN poll out this afternoon shows the Vermont lawmaker with a whopping 27-point lead over the former Secretary of State -- 60-33 percent. That’s a climb of 10 percentage points for Sanders since mid-December and a drop of 7 points for Clinton. It marks Sanders’ highest support and widest lead in any poll in any state so far. His popularity in the state is also sky-high, earning a 91 percent favorability rating among Democrats there.
The shift comes despite the Clinton campaign waging an all-out blitz on the Granite State since the New Year.

And that’s why the political establishment has gotten all quiet about Trump of late. They may hate Trump, but they fear Bernie
1.327 million idiots.
Where’s the pic of Hillary after she’s had the bucket of water poured on her? “I’m melting! I’m melting!”
“The shift comes despite the Clinton campaign waging an all-out blitz on the Granite State since the New Year.”
Maybe the shift is BECAUSE of the blitz - not despite it. The more you see and hear Hitlery, the less you like her.
If Bernie can get elected, he’ll be the first president to have not only a full time bearer of the nuclear football, but also a guy to carry along a defibrillator and a backup box of Depends undergarments.
Hillary won’t take this lying down. There may be a rash of Arkancides in Bernie’s future.
“Maybe the shift is BECAUSE of the blitz - not despite it. The more you see and hear Hitlery, the less you like her.”
Where’s Huma? I kinda like her. She’s cute. Just wondering, if Hillary “should” become POTUS, would Huma be referred to as The First Lady?
These numbers should scare the hell out of Democrats.
Hillary is banking on the Superdelegates to hand her the nomination. In 2008 they could reasonably defect to Obama as he gained momentum - they don’t have that option (practically speaking) with Bernie.
If Hillary takes the nomination (assuming no indictment and switch with Biden) that way, without a clear majority of regular delegates and primary/caucus votes, several segments of the Dem masses will realize just how undemocratic their nomination process really is.
They won’t be pleased.
The media spends so much time covering the GOP race in order to cover up the fact Hillary’s campaign is a sinking ship and the Democratic Party is in complete panic. Bernie Sanders has traction with the Demoncrat electorate, and where’s the evidence his support will completely abate after Iowa and New Hampshire? Folks, if you’re looking for a political civil war it’s gonna be on the Democratic side not the GOP. If Hillary is somehow knocked out of the race by Sanders there’s no guarantee that Joe Biden, Fauxahontas, or anyone else will be able to stop Bernie. The RATe has no choice but to double down on Hillary’s campaign, and then the fireworks will truly ensue. The media has done everything it can to cover up the huge and growing discontent within the(ir) party for Hillary, but in a very short time they won’t be able to keep the lid on that smoldering pot.
Never would I vote for Bernie. But given a choice between a full communist murderer such as Hitlery or a admitted socialist like Bernie, he would definitely be the lesser of both evils. With this guy I think it would be fair to say there would be much, much less corruption compared to Clinton.
My personal take —
Trump swatted at her like a fly and she just about went spread-eagle [not a pretty sight].
The DNC’s so scared that they are taking her out with criminal investigations.
I hope they fail. Let her win the primary, guys. Please.
Bitch is going down
This is a wild and crazy election cycle. I don’t think it’s going matter who the democratics put up though. Unless they each get 2 votes.
Stay away from Ft. Marcy Park and airplanes Bern.
GOPe should have seen it coming. Karl Marx was wrong about capitalism, but he was right about its worst perversions.
The Democrat Party needs to make the change to the Democratic-Socialist Party official.
Bernie Sanders has traction with the Demoncrat electorate, and where’s the evidence his support will completely abate after Iowa and New Hampshire?

What pro-Hitlery Dems are anticipating is that as Hitlery limps out of Iowa & NH & heads south, the black vote will go her way & Bernie’s momentum will be stopped. This is an observation I’ve seen a few times, not a disagreement with what you’ve said.
Personally, I believe Obama wants Biden as the Dem candidate - he is the only one that Obama can rely on 99.9% to keep his “legacy” items in place. He would campaign for Biden, IMO. Biden’s comments of late are telling .... he’s ready to go as soon as Hitlery is “taken out” & I think she will be .... the latest revelations considering the ‘more sensitive than Top Secret’ emails on her server are the last nails in the coffin. She has ensnared so many people in what she did that folks will be making deals & singing like canaries ... the FBI will start at the outer edges with the “little people” and work their way in to Hitlery. Obama holds the ultimate power over Hill (& likely Bill, maybe even Chelsea since she’s up to her eyeballs in the Foundation) .... a pardon.
They won't vote R, either. In fact, they're never pleased, and they don't care much about democracy, either. They wants what they wants, when they want it, especially if they can get it from someone else. THey'll fall in line for BC (Bernie the Communist).
