WMUR poll: Clinton leads by 6 percentage points as Sanders edges closer
Vermont senator nearly within poll’s 5.9 percent margin of error

The WMUR Granite State Poll taken July 22-30 shows frontrunner Clinton with a 6 percentage point lead over the challenger from Vermont. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 5.9 percent, prompting the pollster to call the race a statistical tie.

The poll shows Clinton leading Sanders 42 percent to 36 percent, with 5 percent supporting Vice President Joe Biden, who has been the subject of speculation in recent days about the possibility of becoming a candidate. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and former U.S. Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia each receive 1 percent, with 3 percent favoring some other candidate and 12 percent undecided.

A WMUR Granite State Poll released in May showed Clinton leading U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts 51 percent to 20 percent, with Sanders at 13 percent. Warren, after repeatedly insisting she will not run for president, was not included in a June poll, and Sanders picked up much of her support.

1. I am truly hoping to see a decent size jump for Bernie after a few debates.

He CAN do this.

With all of our help of course.

2. That big a jump since May?!?!?!

Bernie is a shoe-in, but we all have to work for it. Get people out to vote. The mainstream media will be proven wrong again!

3. Looking ahead, NH will likely be a purple state in the general.

At one point, religious organizations were actually moving Republicans there, trying to turn it red, but it remains purple.

In any event, it's important in the general that the Democratic candidate be supported in purple states. NH has 4 electoral votes, and each electoral vote matters!
