Clinton gained seven points of support from Democratic voters while Sanders lost 6 points.

For both Clintons, New Hampshire is a source of frustration.
After great showings in the predominantly white states of New Hampshire and Iowa, Sanders must demonstrate he can appeal to minority voters moving forward. A woman’s willingness to help the sisterhood hardly means she can vote only for female candidates. “I like this system much better in New Hampshire [than caucus system] where you go out, you like somebody, you vote”.
Add in the “superdelegates” who have already committed to a candidate, and Clinton moves into the delegate lead.
Before her remarks, Clinton said she met with two mothers whose kids’ health had worsened because of the water.
Clinton, instead, dispatched her top political aide, Amanda Renteria, to visit Flint and meet with Mayor Karen Weaver in January.
But other attempts to court young women voters have not gone so well. Barack Obama in the 2008 primary and it remains sacred ground for supporters of her husband, former President Bill Clinton, whose second-place finish in the 1992 primary led to his self-applied nickname of the “Comeback Kid”.
Supporters of the former NY senator might need to do more than just raise their banners and clap their hands whenever Clinton delivers a speech as it turns out that Sanders can possibly break her entire candidacy and probably even win the general elections in November.
On Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends”, Trump took some potshots at Bush, at the New York Daily News for its critical coverage and at Clinton, who he claimed is struggling with shrinking confidence and momentum. In one instance, the former president said, a progressive blogger who wrote a favorable column about Hillary Clinton was compelled to post it under a pseudonym out of fear of blowback from Sanders proponents.
A defeated-sounding Hillary Clinton admitted Sunday that her chances of winning the pivotal New Hampshire primary on Tuesday are slim to none.
Sanders has repeatedly distanced himself from supporters who have used offensive language. Sanders, obviously, won more of those, 15 to her 9.
“It’s disgusting; we don’t want that crap”, he said. She said Wall Street was spending millions to defeat her. “‘All I did was drive it off, ‘” Clinton said. “Where everybody who is on the other side is part of some mythical establishment”. After criticism, she apologized “for what’s been misinterpreted as implying young women aren’t serious in their politics”. She later met with a group of mostly government officials to thank them and discuss solutions. The implication, we suppose, is that people with two X chromosomes must vote for Hillary Clinton, or risk hellfire and damnation. “Well that all depends on how you define feminism”.

With the too-close-for-comfort win over Bernie Sanders in Iowa and a New Hampshire victory for the Vermont senator on the horizon, Clinton is reportedly looking to reassess the staff at her Brooklyn headquarters sooner rather than later.
