Bernie Sanders firmly ahead in New Hampshire

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.

A Wisconsin poll conducted by the Marquette Law School shows Bernie Sanders trailing rival Hillary Clinton by just 12 points.

The poll, conducted between the 13th and the 18th of August asked almost 400 Democratic voters who they would support in the primary election. 44 per cent of respondents answered that they would support Clinton, while 32 per cent said they supported Bernie Sanders.

Joe Biden, who has not announced whether he would be running was favored by 12 per cent of respondents. 9 per cent said they were undecided, while other candidates received support of 1 per cent.

Bernie Sanders visited Madison, Wisconsin in July, where he attracted a crowd of 10,000 supporters at the Veterans Memorial Colosseum.

Clinton has not yet visited Wisconsin since announcing her candidacy, but has a trip scheduled to Milwaukee in early September.
