Bernie Sanders Opens Up 60-33 Lead Against Hillary Clinton In New Hampshire Poll

-snip-
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has opened up his widest lead yet over rival Hillary Clinton in the crucial state of New Hampshire, according to a new poll released Tuesday.

The new WMUR/CNN poll out this afternoon shows the Vermont lawmaker with a whopping 27-point lead over the former Secretary of State -- 60-33 percent. That’s a climb of 10 percentage points for Sanders since mid-December and a drop of 7 points for Clinton. It marks Sanders’ highest support and widest lead in any poll in any state so far.

The shift comes despite the Clinton campaign waging an all-out blitz on the Granite State since the New Year.

If she's counting on those two states to deliver, she's in for a huge disappointment, as well as Nevada and South Carolina.

that for Iowa, she and Bernie have almost the same in resources. Bernie outspent her a bit on TV ads. Bernie has 101 campaign workers and HC has 103.

They didn't say about NH, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was similar to Iowa.

NBC reported on this CNN poll.

I'm so proud of Bernie, so proud of how he's doing, and proud of DU for raising the funds we have. Thanks to Omaha Steve for heading up that effort.

Oh, and they showed Bernie's brand new bus, too! Every time I see Bernie on TV, I feel good. When I saw him getting off that beautiful campaign bus, I just about cried tears of happiness.

They showed that in the NBC report. There were shots of young people, making their own signs. Being a college teacher, used to students who couldn't give a ratz a@#$, it was heart warming.

After seeing those shots of Bernie on the train, Bernie running for the train, etc., I thought, it's about damn time he spends a little dough on transportation.

No trains in Iowa. Gotta' buy a bus!

With all that cash, she only has 103 workers here? That's just weird. Who the hell is running her campaign.

I said a few days ago she was going to have to answer for that shift. You don't throw millions of Democrats under the bus without some fallout.

The "NO WE CAN'T" Party is not the Democrats. We're big thinkers and always have been.

"The shift comes despite the Clinton campaign waging an all-out blitz on the Granite State since the New Year."

I was wondering how many of her bullshit lies are involved in that "all-out blitz"? Whatever they are pumping for her, it's easy to now see through her baloney.

The poll is probably a bit puffed up. I expect it is still in the mid fifties for Bernie and the low forties for Hillary. The Granite state still has to show up to the polls.

That said, yes I am excited by this.

or did someone say something in the debate that caused this shift? I see the poll was taken 1/13 to 1/18
