Showing Original Post only (View all)Incredible! Bernie only 8 points behind Hillary in NH [View all]
WMUR/CNN poll: Clinton suddenly in a tight battle with Sanders in NH: Vermont US senator now within 8 percentage points of frontrunner
Less than two months ago, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held a 21 percentage point lead over her nearest competitor in the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary campaign. Now, her edge is down to 8 percentage points over Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Clinton leads Sanders, 43 to 35 percent, in a new WMUR/CNN Granite State Poll, which was conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center from June 18 to 24. The poll included 360 likely 2016 Democratic primary voters and has a margin of error of 5.2 percent, meaning Sanders is close to being in a statistical dead heat with the frontrunner.
According to the poll, Vice President Joe Biden was the choice of 8 percent, while former Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley drew 2 percent and former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb was the choice of 1 percent.
A WMUR Granite State Poll released in May showed Clinton leading Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren 51 to 20 percent, with Sanders at 13 percent. Warren, who has repeatedly insisted she will not run for president, was not included in the new poll. A year ago, Clinton led Sanders, 59 percent to 5 percent.

No wonder McCaskill was spewing verbal flop sweat on Morning Joe this morning!

Now, of course, the polls that were crowed about will be dismissed as useless.

Great strategy to make a heavy push in one state. Being competitive legitimizes his candidacy
