ZitatDemocratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders now has a 9-point lead over front-runner Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, after trailing her so far in the race, according to NBC News/Marist polls released Sunday.
The polls also show Sanders, I-Vt., gaining ground on Clinton in Iowa.
The states -- Iowa and New Hampshire -- are the first and second states, respectively, to hold 2016 primary votes. And the outcomes of those ballots often determine the future of the presidential campaigns.
The New Hampshire poll shows Sanders getting support from 41 percent of the state's likely Democratic vote, compared to Clinton with 32 percent and Vice President Biden with 16 percent. Biden is still considering a campaign, and no other Democratic candidate receives more than 1 percent of the vote, according to the poll.
The good news is, of course, that the Wicked Witch of Arkansas is fading. The bad news is that so many Democrats are willing to support an avowed Socialist.
I once went to Sanders website to see what he actually stood for. All I found was promises of things he proposed to give others by taxing "the rich". Thin gruel, really.
