Boston Herald 1 hr. ago: Joe Biden pulls ahead in New Hampshire; Elizabeth Warren drops to third

Joe Biden pulls ahead in New Hampshire; Elizabeth Warren drops to third: poll

New Franklin Pierce University, Boston Herald, NBC10 poll out today

Former Vice President Joe Biden has jumped to a small lead in the first-in-the nation New Hampshire primary, while Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has slumped to third place, a new Franklin Pierce University-Boston Herald-NBC10Boston poll shows.

Biden now gets 26%, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in second place with 22%, and Warren trailing in third with 18%, according to the poll of 434 likely Democratic primary voters. South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg gets just 7% of the vote and former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg is at 4%. Bloomberg is not on the ballot in New Hampshire, but voters can write in any candidate.

Twelve percent of the poll respondents said they were undecided heading into the last few weeks of the primary campaign.

The Democratic poll has a margin of error of 4.7 percent.

I don't see how their involvement with this poll would skew the results. Are NBC10 and Franklin Pierce University also involved in some type of conspiracy to skew the results? The numbers are what they are so trying to unskew the results is a fruitless endeavor.

I evaluate the opinions expressed in the Boston Herald with the same watchful eye as I evaluate the opinions of other sources such as Jacobin and Common Dreams. Each carries their own biases and agendas.

In assessing the credibility of polls, look at the pollster, not the news organization that hired the pollster. Fox News is obviously a garbage network, but they use two reputable polling firms (one Democratic and one Republican) to do their polls, and the polls themselves are pretty good and not overly Republican-leaning. The way they report the polls is sometimes skewed though.

I couldn't access the article without paying this right-wing rag, so if anyone knows who the pollster is please share.
