Bernie Sanders’ lead is increasing with Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire, according to a new CNN/WMUR poll.

The Vermont senator has 50 percent of Democratic primary voters, a 4 percent increase since September. Former Secretary of State HIllary Clinton comes in 10 percentage points behind Sanders with 40 percent, though her total has increased by 10 percentage points since September. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is barely registering — he fell from 2 percent to 1 percent.

The majority of Clinton’s bump comes from the exit of Vice President Joe Biden, who was factored into the September poll and was supported by 14 percent of those surveyed. In October, after much speculation, he announced he would not enter the race.

In Wednesday's poll, 15 percent of those polled said they would not support Clinton under any circumstances. The percentage of people who would refuse to vote for Sanders held steady at 5 percent.

2. There's something about Bernie

that draws me to him and I think its the unpolished part as well as his stance on the issues that are good for the 99% and where he wants to lead us

No one that I talk to in Oklahoma is for Hillary plus a lot of the republiCONs are looking seriously at Bernie. Liking what they're hearing

4. 15% will not support HRC "under any circumstances"

That is so telling. And these are likely DEMOCRATIC primary voters. Talk about depressing turn-out.
