Over half – 53 percent – of New Hampshire voters support Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), while Clinton sits at a mere 39 percent, a Monmouth University Poll released Tuesday found. It shows Clinton now trailing Sanders in the Granite State’s major voting blocs who previously supported her, such as registered Democrats, older voters and women.

Sen. Bernie Sanders has risen over Hillary Clinton to become the top choice of Iowa’s Democrats, signaling a race that will be neck-and-neck through caucus night, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.
Sanders has also taken lead over Clinton in Iowa polls. With the Iowa caucuses less than three weeks away, 49 percent of likely caucus-goers support Sanders and 44 percent support Clinton.
The five-point lead for Sanders is a turnabout from last month, when the Quinnipiac poll had Clinton leading by 11.
And on the evening of the State of the Union address, those polled by CBS News/New York Times are evenly split on President Barack Obama: 46 percent say they approve of him, and 47 percent say they disapprove. “You [Bernie Sanders] voted for what the NRA said was the biggest NRA priority giving them immunity, and he says, “Well, I’m from Vermont.’ Pat Leahy, the other senator from Vermont, voted against immunity for the gun lobby, so no, that’s not an explanation”, Clinton said today”. Bernie Sanders pulling ahead in Iowa and firmly in the lead in New Hampshire. The most recent survey, from Monmouth doesn’t just have him at +14-which is impressive enough-but the crosstabs show Sanders’ strength with just about every Democratic group: She’s down -8 among registered Democrats, -25 among men, -12 among voters under the age of 50, and -6 among voters over 50. “And he has credibility on it”, Biden said.
When faced with votes on the Brady Bill in the House, “Bernie Sanders actually voted against it”, Gross said.
As CNN reports, Sanders recently told reporters at a campaign stop in Iowa that Clinton’s campaign was in serious trouble.
On Clinton’s new proposal for a 4 percent income-tax surcharge for wealthy Americans, Sanders said “it doesn’t go anywhere near far enough”.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Clinton still maintains a strong lead in national polling.
A day before Vermont’s governor hits the road to campaign on her behalf, Hillary Clinton found out her path to winning Iowa and New Hampshire is not as easy as it looked one month ago.
