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

Would this fake impeachment be happening if the rats had real winners, instead of: Biden/Sanders/Warren/Buttigieg?
dim math
Momentum? Sanders got 60+ percent of the vote in 2016 in New Hampshire. Now he’s down to 25 percent?
January 23rd, he had 49% of the poll compared to Hillary with 42%.
Not unusual. The dynamics of every campaign changes. Most of Bernie’s 2016 support was anyone but Hillary. Note, they came around to support her in the general election by just enough to beat Trump in NH.
And no, I don’t buy the conspiracy that there were 4,000+ illegal voters in NH.
Sure, we can all probably agree that Sanders is really a Democrat who is going independent to be "maverick" (as I suspect the whole "independent but caucuses with Democrats" really is), but why can't the DNC enforce a rule that ONLY Democrat-registered candidates would get the logistical support and funding from the Democrat party?
Would it really hurt Sanders to become a registered Democrat, and stay there after the election?

“If Bernie wins Iowa & NH and loses the nomination his voters will be quite angry. It’ll be especially fun to see the media go very negative on Bernie when then sense this is real. That will anger his supporters even more.”
indeed ... the whole Dem nomination saga is great daytime soap opera (unless of course one is a Democrat who takes all of that seriously), and the whole Bernie The Commie subplot alone requires much additional popcorn consumption ...
“Most of Bernie’s 2016 support was anyone but Hillary”
that’s a very good point that most forget ... and indeed a major factor as to why the 2020 dynamic is entirely different from the 2016 one ...
“Would this fake impeachment be happening if the rats had real winners, instead of: Biden/Sanders/Warren/Buttigieg?”
that’s a very good point ... combine that with Trump’s monumental success and popularity and the Dems basically have nothing else in the gas-tank but to try impeachment ...
They will vote for Egg McMuffin again.
“a super-loser crop of candidates”
great turn of phrase ...
“The Democrat Establishment is in desperate straits - damned if they try to suppress Bernie Sanders, and damned if they don’t. The situation has progressed too far to be easily reversed, without losing huge boatloads of Democrat partisans on one side or the other. There is no possible coalition ticket between the Democrat Socialists and the more moderate Democrats that will satisfy any significant number of unaligned moderate voters they must attract”
totally ...we could call that situation “The Bernie Problem” or say that the Democrats “have a Bernie Problem” ...
Perfect scenario for Hillary. She'll have no problem stealing the nomination at the convention if Sanders is the winner of primary season. The smoke filled room people are NOT going to allow it. Period.
I think the RAT bosses won’t allow Bernie to get the nomination.
LOL! Democrats vote Sanders as their nominee.
Priceless.
Then we’ll hear from the Jennifer Rubins out there:
VOTE FOR BERNIE!!!! THE *REAL* CONSERVATIVE IN THE RACE!!!!
I will be thrilled if Bernie causes the democrats to crash and burn in November.
However, I’d rather see a sane democrat nominated . . . if such a candidate existed. If we elect a socialist or even put them within the margin of fraud so that the unions can steal anther election, that will be an indescribable catastrophe. I expect the repercussions of a socialist “victory” on Election Day will be far worse than 1861-1865, worse than anything America has ever seen.
Perfect scenario for Trump. Even the most vengeful NeverTrumpers won’t back Bernie in November.

And don’t forget if the dems cheat and block Bernie, which they are almost certain to do.
They will pay a huge price this time, much bigger than in 2016 when The Crooked Hag Queen cheated Bernie.
If you own stocks, have an IRA, 401(k) or a future pension, there is no way you would want to vote for Bernie.
Rest assured, in the general election the black vote won't go his way in the numbers needed to beat Trump. Trump has already broken through with record support for a republican because of his policies and result being felt by black America.
Can you see Trump and Butthead on the debate stage together? TKO or a tapout.
Any Democratic candidate who has won both the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primary has gone on to be the D nominee. If he pulls that off, would they screw him over again?
How is the Democrat party going to change that?
