The CNN/WMUR poll for January 2016 revealed that Sanders trumps Democrat rival Hillary Clinton by a huge 27 percent with Sanders at 60 percent while Clinton comes second with 33 percent, according to CNN Politics.

Clinton said her first priority would be to call on Congress to pass her plans “for creating more good jobs” in infrastructure building, as well as in the manufacturing and renewable energy sectors. Sanders’ support has nearly doubled since June in the CNN/WMUR poll, while Clinton has lost ten points over the past six months. Meanwhile, Iowa polls show a much tighter margin for her against Bernie Sanders, with Martin O’Malley far behind.
Mrs Clinton remains confident of winning the Iowa caucus, which takes place ahead of the New Hampshire primary. Even on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on that Sunday, the moderator, Chuck Todd – despite conducting interviews of both Clinton and Sanders – ignored any mention of his own network’s poll just published that morning.
“Sanders is aided by the fact that most Super Tuesday contests are open to independent voters – a group where he performs well”, Mr. Murray said. This sort of bulk public opinion has a significant influence on what voters believe about candidates and if this momentum continues, we may head into February with a very legitimate, strong chance of a Sanders presidential race. With 13days to the Iowa Caucuses and 21 days to the New Hampshire primary, we are down to the wire. Literally every other candidate including Clinton, Ben Carson who has raised the next largest amount of money ($20.8 million)and Donald Trump are all thought of by the majority of Americans to be “not honest and untrustworthy”.
Patrick Semansky/AP The poll showed that Hillary Clinton remained the leader in the race for the Democratic nomination, with 52% support nationally among Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters. Her campaign has also accused Republicans of selectively leaking information to make her situation look worse than reality. Clinton has received donations from people who work at banks, and Goldman Sachs paid the former secretary of state $675,000 for three speeches, according to her financial disclosures.

Brendan Nyhan, a Dartmouth College political scientist, told Boston.com that Sanders is viewed so favorably because of a lack of negative information about him, despite the Clinton campaign’s recent uptick in negative attacks.
