Sanders grabs 9-point lead over Clinton in NH. Tightens Gap in Iowa!

Poll: Sanders grabs 9-point lead over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. Tightens gap in Iowa!

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has jumped to a 9-point lead in New Hampshire over Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, according to a new poll.

Sanders is the favorite of 41 percent of Democratic voters in the NBC News/Marist poll out Sunday morning, compared to 32 percent for Clinton. Vice President Biden has 16 percent support in the Granite State.

Clinton topped Sanders in New Hampshire, 42 percent to 32 percent, in a similar poll in July.

Another NBC/Marist Poll out Sunday found that Sanders is gaining ground on Clinton in Iowa, where her lead over the Vermont senator has shrunk 13 points since July.

She now takes 38 percent support in Iowa, compared to Sanders’s 27 percent.

No Name Recognition just months ago.

Blackout by the Corporate Media

No Huge Corporate Money.

No help from the Dem Party.

DNC working AGAINST him.

Why is this happening?

Because Bernie is right!

The People DO still have the power to change things, but only IF they are united!

People Power is the reason for this amazing phenomenon!

Dear Bernie Supporters. Keep up the Good Work!

Hillary has. His long voting history on issues that people are paying a lot of attention to right now.

Even worse, actually, because his voting history is longer than Clinton's.

Bernie has little to worry about from Biden.

Not to menion that the #1 issue in this campaign is the Corrupting, corrosive effects of money in politics, which Biden himself acknowledged just weeks ago, stating it NEEDS to be a number one issue, because it is so 'corrorisive' that if we 'don't fix it nothing else can get done'.

IF he runs, can he now take that money? He SAYS 'Dems must lead the way' in NOT taking it, and went further saying that it is not an excuse for them to say that 'they can't refuse it because the other guys are doing it'.

Kind of sealed it right there. Iow, if he runs AND takes Corporate Funding, his own words will be devastating to him.

Hillary is spending about 10 times as much for each vote and Bernie just keeps rising and rising on $40 dollar contributions.

Hillary supporters must really be getting quite upset?

As an Iowa fan, I watched it and recorded it and verified this later. And she was trying to sound like a populist in that one ad against CEO pay and the wage and wealth gaps...

So... Her campaign must be worried more about building an image in Iowa than other candidates.

I realize this is an ad, but she appears as though she's just looking "through" things.

party does it and if we don't, we won't get anywhere'. And the other one he's blowing away is that this 'is a Conservative nation so we can't run on a progressive message'.

As for ads, if she would just go talk to the people as Bernie is doing, she wouldn't need ads. He doesn't.

In that poll in NH since July Bernie has gained 19 points if I'm doing the math right, Hillary has lost about 18 points, in just a little over a month.

But, it won't translate into votes later on.
Iowa always gets inundated by political ads like this, but it does little good because Iowans are sick of tv ads by the time their primary comes around.
