Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is now firmly in the lead in New Hampshire, according to a Public Policy Polling.

The poll, conducted between the 21st and 24th of August showed that Sanders is leading Clinton by 7 points in the Granite State.

According to the poll of 370 likely Democratic voters, 42 per cent said they would like to see Bernie Sanders become the Democratic nominee for president.

A staggering 78 per cent of respondents said they held a favorable opinion of Sanders, while just 12 per cent said they viewed him unfavorably.

This poll comes reaffirms the results of a Franklin Pierce/RKM/Boston Herald poll conducted earlier this month, which also put Sanders ahead of Clinton by 7 points.
