Oct 2015

briefly was higher than Sanders' poll average in New Hampshire. It is hard to interpret this poll as good news for Clinton as Sanders' 15% lead is the biggest lead he has shown in last 10 polls going back a month.

In Iowa, this ial also the closest poll in a month of Iowa polls (where Clinton recently polled a 21% lead). Again, it is tough to neutrally see this polling as good for Clinton.

Despite the fact that this polling is the worst-in-a-month for Clinton in BOTH Iowa and New Hampshire and best-in-a-month for Sanders in Iowa and -best-ever for Sanders in New Hampshire, the headline hardly seems to convey that message, don't you think?
