PPPolling: Bernie Sanders is the most popular candidate on either side of the aisle in New Hampshire

This is from Public Policy Polling:

Ayotte/Hassan a Toss Up; Clinton/Sanders Generally Lead GOP Field

Bernie Sanders is the most popular candidate on either side of the aisle in New Hampshire and actually does an average of 3.5 points better than Clinton in comparable head to head match ups. Sanders has a 46/36 favorability rating. The only other candidates who come out positively with the overall electorate are Kasich at 36/30 and Carson at 36/33. Sanders does similarly to Clinton against Bush (he leads him by 8 at 46/38, she leads him by 7), and Walker (they both lead him 47/39). Against Trump and Rubio, Sanders actually fares a good deal better than Clinton. He leads Trump by 9 at 50/41, compared to Clinton's 2 point advantage, and he leads Rubio by 13 at 48/35, compared to Clinton's 8 point advantage.

He's doing better than Hillary by one point against Bush.

And better than Clinton against Trump and Rubio!

More and more polls are showing Bernie closing the gap with Clinton as more and more people get to know him.

1. The best part is he beats Trump by 9, while Hillary only beats him by 2

10. Yes, I think it's about time now, seeing how many polls now show Bernie defeating Republicans

to end the myth that was being perpetrated that 'Bernie can't win in the GE'. If that is true, then neither can Hillary who is not even doing as well as he is against Repubs in several polls now.

5. But, how do we know that you're not a Republican masquerading as a Democrat?

6. You're very astute.

7. This supports my theory that Sanders is best adapted at damaging Trump's chances.

Bernie with his words, actions and political rhetoric is most adept at straightening out Trump supporters' misdirected anger.

Thanks for the thread, sabrina.

8. I agree Uncle Joe. He can show the public that Trump is part of the whole corrupt system without

Trump being able to say 'hey, you were willing to take my money'.

This is definitely going to be, and I think it is already, one of the biggest issues in this campaign finally, the buying of our government which is why they can collapse the economy and then get themselves bailed out, while the people are still dealing with what they did.

9. Bernie has done very well in NH which is now a must win state for him

There is no denying that he is looking strong there.
