Bernie Sanders for the first time has taken the lead ahead of Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, according to latest Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll.

Sanders is now ahead of Clinton 44 to her 37 per cent support along likely Democrat primary voters.

Sanders has been gaining momentum across the country, but until now, has trailed Clinton in every state and national poll.

This latest poll comes after Sanders attracted more than 70,000 supporters to rallies on the West Coast over the weekend.
