Bernie gains ground in new national poll after New Hampshire

(snip)

On the Democratic side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wins 46 percent of the vote, just seven points higher than Sanders’s 39 percent — the largest percentage the Vermont independent has ever notched in a Morning Consult survey.

Sanders leads by a significant 55 percent to 36 percent margin among voters between 18 and 29 years old, while Clinton does best among those over 65 years old. Sanders leads among independents, while Clinton holds a 13-point lead among Democrats, results that closely mirror exit polls from Iowa and New Hampshire.

February 10-11, 2016 February 3-7, 2016 February 2-3, 2016
Hillary Clinton 46% 50% 51%
Bernie Sanders 39% 37% 35%
Someone Else 8% 5% 6%
Don't Know/No Opinion 7% 8% 8%

Tellingly, Sanders has seen a boost in the number of voters who see him favorably, especially among Democrats. More Democrats now say they see Sanders favorably, 78 percent, than those who say the same of Clinton, 75 percent. Until now, Clinton has enjoyed an edge in favorable ratings among her party’s voters.

Sanders is the only candidate in the field, in either party, who is seen favorably by a majority of voters.

do they start excluding people in states that have already voted? Ie, after New Hampshire and Iowa, are people from New Hampshire and Iowa still getting polled as part of the National Average? Would kind of seem like the important numbers would be for the 'remaining' states.

also of note...

Sanders is the only candidate in the field, in either party, who is seen favorably by a majority of voters.

though I think that's been the case for a while now.
