Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has rocketed past longtime front-runner Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, a stunning turn in a race once considered a lock for the former secretary of state, a new Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll shows.

Sanders leads Clinton 44-37 percent among likely Democratic primary voters, the first time the heavily favored Clinton has trailed in the 2016 primary campaign, according to the poll of 442 Granite-Staters.

Vice President Joe Biden got 9 percent support in the test primary match-up. The other announced Democrats in the race, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee and former Virginia Gov. Jim Webb, barely register at 1 percent or below.

The live interview phone poll was conducted Aug. 7-10 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.7 percentage points.

It's not just that he has the class & concern to personally connect with and thank the overflow crowd. It's also about his level of energy and stamina - to counteract those who are consciously or subconsciously concerned about his age versus the physical/mental demands of the presidency.

We all age at different speeds, and on a Bell curve distribution examining age versus level of stamina, Bernie performs at the +3 level i.e., top One Percent. That's a "one percent" label I can live with, as opposed to candidates focusing their campaigns/fund raising/ and policy positions on the desires of the wealthiest One Percent. Think of this presidential primary as the healthiest one percent candidate versus the wealthiest one percent candidate.
