The latest Franklin Pierce University and the Boston Herald Democratic poll of New Hampshire found that Hillary Clinton has gained 13 points on Bernie Sanders in the past week, and has cut the Sanders lead from 20 points to 7 points.

Clinton, recognizing the strength of Sanders’s candidacy in New Hampshire, offered an olive branch to young voters who have migrated to his campaign.
Sanders has worked to boost his profile among black voters who make up more than half of South Carolina’s Democratic primary electorate.
