Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) still maintains a strong lead in New Hampshire, even as Hillary Clinton has risen slightly over the past week, according to a tracking poll released by University of Massachusetts Lowell on Monday morning.
In the Monday poll, Sanders led Clinton by 16 points. Among likely Democratic primary voters, 56 percent supported Sanders and 40 percent supported Clinton.
Since the first UMass tracking poll released a week ago when Clinton received 30 percent support, she has jumped 10 percentage points. Sanders lead was strongest last week with 63 percent support, and Monday’s poll showed him drop by 7 points.
TPM’s Polltracker Average shows Sanders leading Clinton 54.7 to 39.2.
UMass conducted the poll for Boston news station WHDH. UMass surveyed 407 likely Democratic primary voters Feb. 5-7 via phone with a margin of error plus or minus 5.52 percentage points.
So Sanders drops 7 points in a week, Clinton rises 10 points. But the headline is Sanders crushing Clinton … Okay …
In shocking news, Bernie Sanders predicted to win home-court primary that everyone knew he was going to win since the start.
BREAKING!
Yeah, guess they are going to ignore the globe poll that had sanders up 7. If this was the other way, headline would be Sanders surging. Think I am going to bail on TPM for a while
They just gotta have their horse race …
Ahhhhh…the HorseRace…
That’s why I do not watch novelas on Spanish language television…always uncertainty with no resolution…
Also the fact that the Latino characters on the screen look more like Germans than the people watching them at home.
