Sanders Widens Lead In N.H. In New WBUR Poll

January 23, 2020
Anthony Brooks

Excerpt:

The 78-year-old Sanders does particularly well with younger voters. According to the WBUR poll, he has the support of 52% of Democratic voters under 30.

Now we have people in the media and the Dem establishment who admit to disliking Sanders on a personal level and it seems to be backfiring on them. Time to focus on facts and the record . . . as it should be.

Clinton's statement contained generous helpings of both unfortunately. I'm hoping the backfire we're witnessing will dissuade other media and political figures from the same kind of personal attack in the future.

And in this poll Sanders now has over twice the support that Biden has compared to leading Biden by one point last time. And this change is all over one month.

It's just one poll, I'm skeptical that Sanders has surged this much, but we'll see... I think I need to see if I can dive into when exactly this polling was done.

...into the open." So the dust ups about both the campaign script and the private meeting had already broken.

Also noteworthy: "the WBUR poll found Sanders has the support of slightly more women than men."

It looks like he picked up most undecideds and people who weren't going to vote in December. He may have picked up some supporters of other candidates too. Incredible.

That record cash haul was all the news last week. Given that it didn't really move his needle one way or the other, maybe it's simply throwing good money after bad.
