[book_worm]

MANCHESTER, N.H. (WHDH) -
Watch out Bernie, here comes Hillary!

Hillary Clinton is surging, and Bernie Sanders is flirting with free-fall. We could be watching a re-run of the comeback kid.

Sanders is number one, but weakening. He gets 55%, after losing 3 per centage points over night, while Clinton, with 40%, gained 4 points since yesterday. Undecideds are now 4%, down one point.

The tracking poll shows Clinton's dramatic rise: She's now just fifteen points behind Sanders, after trailing him by 31 when we started polling this week.

Sanders has lost sixteen points of his lead, more than half of what he had.

3. Bernie fans are aware of the inflated numbers.

Thank you for your concern.

4. "The campaign is IMPLODING!" -- "It's in a FREE-FALL!" -- "... BLOWING a 31-point lead!" ...

"It's just like 2008!"

Oh wait, that last quote doesn't quite work in this situation, does it?

But you get the idea anyway!

Go, Hillary!!

5. Need to get him down under 50%

then the late breaking undecideds will decide this thing. I can't really imagine them breaking for Bernie. I mean the more you hear of him and his johnny one-note droning, the less plausible he seems as an actual president.

His performance on foreign policy was outright embarrassing last night.

12. Embarrassing is one word. I'd use frightening. -- People are starting to pay attention...

... and when they look at Bernie's perfunctory "bumper sticker" foreign-policy details (and his list of "advisors&quot they're finding that Hillary is infinitely more qualified. I think his campaign is in the process of discovering that his "one-note" campaign will only take you so far, and his campaign has held that note about as long as it can.

6. When did Bernie ever have a 31 point lead in NH?? This is spin, to make Hillary's showing look ok.

8. No he didn't. That was one poll, on one day. He's had a lead that has steadily grown to 15 points.

15. It is a tracking poll. Compares apples to apples. Best way to do it.
