A new Fox News poll of the Democrat primary race shows socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) 16% edging past Hillary Clinton for the first time â and at a faster rate than Barack Obama outpaced Clinton in 2008.
The national poll, conducted Monday through Wednesday, shows Sanders with 47 percent support, 3 points higher than Clinton, with 44 percent support.
Just one month ago, Clinton led Sanders by 12 points in the Fox poll. The change in fortunes is due, in part, to Sandersâ landslide victory in New Hampshire and his almost-level outcome in the Iowa caucus.
The most interesting thing about this latest national poll, however, is how quickly Sanders has edged Clinton. In 2008, Barack Obama did not lead a national poll against Clinton until after Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina AND Florida and Michigan had voted.
The first time Obama led a national poll against Clinton was on the eve of Super Tuesday voting in 2008.
In 2008, Super Tuesday was held on February 5th. Twenty-two states and an American territory voted on Super Tuesday. Obama won 12 states, while Clinton captured two and America Samoa.
For the next two weeks, Obama and Clinton traded leads in national polling. After March, Clinton would only recapture the lead in national polling a handful of times.
When Obama first took the lead in national polling in 2008, he had won Iowa and South Carolina. Clinton had won New Hampshire, Nevada and claimed victories in Michigan and Florida. (Because of a dispute over DNC rules, neither candidate campaigned in Michigan or Florida.)

How sweet it is!!! FUHRC! Feel the burn of your campaign burning down.
must burn Hillary that a person that truly believes in socialism is beating her despite the fact that she has gotten all the super delegates within her party.
Hillary is catching fire!
And going down in flames.
Cough! Cough!
Why is there so much shock and awe? The Democrat party is made up entirely of people who, at best, don’t care that 58 million babies have been murdered in the last 43 years, and who believe in Communism, are in the process of choosing a baby-murdering Communist as their nominee—over the crony-capitalist baby-murderer.
Once Trump wins in S.C., Hillary will pick up the endorsements of Jeb and the Bush Family, Dole, Rubio, RNC, Mitch, and D.C.
Hillary in her latest interview stated that ‘she always tried to tell the truth’
Don't forget her good friend John McCain!
40+ years of the cold war, and we possibly get it via an inside job?
Before thinking this is absurd, it is plausible with a 4- way race this year,
Add a solid blue Northeast to Calfornia and upper midwest, Just shuddering at the thought.
“Gulags and re-education camps for all!!” (cough cough)
:-)
Kinda sounds like *Bubba on Orgy Island.
It should be obvious to anyone with half a brain - Americans simply do not like Hillary Clinton.
I wonder what the strategy meeting in Hillarys camp are looking like about now. Super Tuesday could be when her political Titanic hits the ice berg.
I would assume that her aides would be taking the precaution of hiding the ashtrays.
The fact that so many (brain-dead) Americans would vote for Bernie Sanders should terrify the rest of us.
Millenials don't remember the Cold War and have no idea what it was all about. They think "socialism" is something like, you know, social media-- government by Facebook or something, and it's all free. So what's not to like?
So? Hillary us an avowed socialist.
Why would anyone vote for her.
Emphysema. That is not the preferred term now but it is so much more euphonic than COPD.
