Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has a 10-point lead over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire following the first Democratic presidential debate, according to a Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll released Sunday.
Sanders earned 48 percent of New Hampshire voters to Clinton’s 38 percent. Vice President Joe Biden (who has still not declared his candidacy) earned 19 percent.
But 41 percent of those surveyed thought Clinton won CNN’s Democratic debate compared to Sanders’ 34 percent. Clinton is also still overwhelmingly seen as the party’s presumed candidate in the poll at 64 percent.
The poll was conducted among 402 likely Democratic presidential primary voters in New Hampshire from Oct. 14 to 17. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.9 percent.
Well I did a survey of myself, and I thought Sanders won. The margin of error was plus or minus 100% percent.
Gosh, I’m glad that our pollsters are so keen on continually polling for candidates who aren’t in the race. Should Biden deign to run, then by all means poll, but otherwise how about we poll on just the people who are actually running perhaps?
If we’re not going to restrict it to that, then I’m sure that we could come up with some more entertaining choices.
The poll is run by Andrew Card, he of Bush White House fame, and touted by the Boston Herald, a Murdoch organ.
What happens when voters enter the voting booth and poof! there is no Biden to vote for?
When they change the headline, it should read Some On The Left Continue To Chase Magical Liberal Unicorn.
If Sanders were elected President, he’d have to make everyone happy by doing exactly what they want, immediately. Otherwise, they’ll turn on him and start calling him a DINO, a corporate puppet, and everything else they called Obama.
The President isn’t magic. And mid term elections are important.
there is this another Vote Opinion Poll national poll conducted with 5301 self-identified democrats between age of 18-32
and that shows huge interest in Bernie Sanders among young
