'Big-Monied Interests Are Getting Very Nervous': Sanders Leads in New Hampshire Poll
"They're looking at recent polls," the Democratic candidate said, "and they're saying, 'Oh my God, Sanders can win.'"
Jan 25, 2020
On the heels of a survey showing the Vermont senator with a commanding lead in Iowa, a new poll out Sunday shows Sen. Bernie Sanders with a nine-point lead in early primary state New Hampshire.
According to the CNN poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire, Sanders captured the support of 25 percent of likely primary-goers, up four points since October.
Former Vice President Joe Biden came in second with 16 percent, a point up from October. The poll's margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.3 percent.
\u201cThe @BernieSanders surge continues. A new CNN/UNH poll of likely New Hampshire among Democratic primary voters has it:\n\nSanders 25%\nBiden 16%\nButtigieg 15%\nWarren 12%\nKlobuchar 6%\nGabbard 5%\nYang 5%\nRest at 2% or below\n\nSanders has gone from 19% in July to 21% in Oct. to 25% now.\u201d— John Nichols (@John Nichols) 1580046994
Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg came in third with 15 percent, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren followed with 12 percent.
Warren was the only one of the four to see her support drop. While Buttigieg gained five points since October, Warren fell six. She did remain primary-goers top second choice candidate, with 20 percent backing her as their number two.
Andrew Yang's five percent on the CNN poll also contributed to his qualifying for the next Democratic primary debate, which takes place Feb. 7 in New Hampshire.
Sanders also came out on top in an NBC News/Marist state poll released Sunday.
In that survey of likely Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire--which had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points--the Vermont senator had 22 percent and Buttigieg had 17 percent. Biden (15 percent) and Warren (13 percent) followed.
"Sanders' advantage is bolstered by his strong support among progressive Democrats and younger voters," said Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.
"His supporters are also far more enthusiastic about his candidacy than backers of his closest rivals," he added.
A day before the New Hampshire polls, a new New York Times/Siena College poll released Saturday showed Sanders leading with the support of 25 percent of likely Iowa caucus voters, ahead of second place Buttigieg who got 18 percent

An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
