New Hampshire poll: Bernie Sanders leads Hillary Clinton by 27 points

[font size=3]No, that’s not a typo. [/font size]

A new CNN/WMUR poll finds Bernie Sanders leading Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire—this time by more than ever before.

Sanders leads Clinton 60 percent to 33 percent among likely New Hampshire voters polled January 13 to 18, according to the poll conducted by the the University of New Hampshire Survey Center released Tuesday. The advantage is a 17-point increase since CNN/WMUR’s December poll, which found Sanders leading Clinton 50 percent to 40 percent.

The Vermont senator’s 27-point lead is the by far the biggest margin any recent poll has found. The previous seven New Hampshire polls taken since the New Year have indicated anywhere from a 3-point Clinton lead to a 14-point Sanders lead. Six of those seven polls showed the Vermont senator ahead. RealClearPolitics’ polling average gives Sanders an 11.4-point lead.

In Tuesday’s poll, Sanders leads Clinton 70 percent to 25 percent among voters that are not registered with a political party. But he also leads the former secretary of state 50 percent to 41 percent among Democrats.

We still have to campaign, phone bank, knock on doors, sign petitions where necessary, wear our Bernie shirts, show our Bernie bumper stickers and yard signs, organize Light Brigades and talk to people about Bernie and getting other like-minded Progressive candidates to run and win!
