Bernie Sanders is pulling away in the polls in New Hampshire.

The Vermont senator has opened up a wide, 16-point lead over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, according to a new CNN/WMUR/UNH poll released Thursday night.

Sanders garnered 46 percent support from likely New Hampshire Democratic primary voters, his highest support in the state yet this election cycle. Clinton earned only 30 percent support, her lowest in the state.

Over the last six weeks, Sanders has surged up 10 points, while Clinton has dropped 12 points.

It's part of a larger downward trend for Clinton over the last several months, as her use of a personal email server during her tenure as secretary of state continues to dominate the headlines. Her leads in both Iowa and New Hampshire have disappeared.

1. Isn't that what Obama had the DAY before the NH primary in 08?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. It's more than a year away

the election

why did you say the day before?

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. A fortiori

If a 13 point lead a day before can evaporate, well...

[geek tragedy]

9. That was a rather volatile period.

But, that the question is now "can Hillary defeat Bernie" instead of the other way around is head-spinning.

She's in a lot of trouble.

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. Nah

Bernie won't win a single state.

Book it.

[Ned_Devine]

12. Not one single state? That's pretty bold. Even Dean won VT in '04

Are you trying to say Bernie wouldn't win even VT? I'm not very hip, but I'm guessing "book it" means you want to be quoted as having made this prediction. Ok then. I'll hold you to it.

[alcibiades_mystery]

13. Please do

Not a single state, and yes, not even Vermont.

[SoapBox]

14. ROFL

Uh huh.

[Lychee2]

26. Alcibiades knows how to use "a fortiori," I'll grant him that.

But there are some big differences between '08 and now.

[Scootaloo]

18. Who are you trying to convince, exactly?

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. I'm not trying to convince anyone

[geek tragedy]

32. we'll see, what's got to be concerning for Clinton is that this isn't a case of her

committing campaign blunders, this is all stuff beyond her control.

She hasn't shown any ability to shape the narrative of anything.

[Vinca]

24. The New Hampshire primary is in February. The 8th or 9th I think.

[merrily]

27. Yup. Until Hillary started crying in NH after being asked how she managed to keep up her hairdo

while campaigning. But, thank heaven, Obama went on to win the primary.

[questionseverything]

33. he had an 8 point lead and lost to hc in nh in 08

we need overwhelming numbers!

[Indepatriot]

2. Looking Good! With 5 months till the voting starts, he's gonna be in great shape.

No reason to settle for a Third Way Corporatist. We have an actual People's Candidate!

[tabasco]

30. One thing I believe Bernie has going for him is he doesn't triangulate

He doesn't lie. He sticks to his guns on what he believes. Therefore he doesn't seem susceptible to gaffes, flip-flopping, getting caught in lies, etc. His stock is sturdy and I don't see him losing support once he gets it.

[SheilaT]

4. Naah, not possible.

After all, hasn't he already peaked?

I don't think I really need the sarcasm thingy, do I?

[roguevalley]

5. Imagine what he could do with MSM attention? Remarkable

[tabasco]

31. He will need to be elected president to get any attention from the plutocracy-owned mass media. n/

[AzDar]

7. Bernie!!

[colsohlibgal]

8. Great, We Need Bernie

I trust him to at least attempt to do what he says he will do. Neither Bill Clinton or Obama did that. We need a real progressive in, an FDR type, and that's Bernie. Actually I would likely trust O'Malley or Lessig too but they have no chance.

[juajen]

29. Help for the old among us.

Please give us old people with bad memories some examples of what they did not do that they said they would do.

Sorry, gotta get a keyboard replacement. I have sticky keys.

[Left Coast2020]

11. WOWZERS !!!!!!

[SoapBox]

15. Go Bernie!

[lobodons]

16. No Worries

Hillary will win in 2016 and will have 8 years as President.

[Live and Learn]

17. K&R nt

[jalan48]

19. Oh my! Is the Hillary yacht running out of gas?

[INdemo]

22. Not yet but her investors are nervous.

Hillary is like a bad stock..It could take a hold and skyrocket or we could see a sell-off.....

[merrily]

28. Not running out of wind, apparently.

[BeanMusical]

20. Kick and R

[Android3.14]

21. Still blaming those emails?

Could it be (and I'm just tossing this out there), that few are buying the corporatist campaign product, the weak policy statements, and her constantly "evolving" stances on critical issues?

[Babel_17]

34. "Once container is opened, consume immediately"

It's like the people running the Clinton campaign can't handle having to actually run in the primary. It appears they envisioned a "run silent, run deep" MO for this year and basically dodge the press on any embarrassing issues. They were prepping everything so as to have big staged moments while running against their Republican opponent.

It's a good thing to see this lack of flexibility being demonstrated. If Secretary Clinton is nominated she'll need much better than this from her campaign. This is partly why Vice President Biden is being persuaded to run. It serves notice to Secretary Clinton to put her ship in order, otherwise there's Plan Biden.

[sofa king]

35. Or plan *B*ernie!

It looks like we may have two Plans B. Also, Samuel R. Delany is awesome. Have a nice day!

[Babel_17]

36. Thank you, and you too! nt

[Android3.14]

37. Babel 17 is one of my favorites

I like Plan Bernie. Plan Biden might as well be called Plan Business As Usual.

[wordpix]

25. woot!

[JackRiddler]

38. Great, but there's a big lie in there.

Clinton is tanking "as her use of a personal email server during her tenure as secretary of state continues to dominate the headlines."

Bullshit. That noise may be dominating headlines but it is not remotely the reason why potential primary voters - at this point still a well-informed group with high political motivation - are abandoning the Democrat from Wall Street. Her problem is that she offers NOTHING. It's all a fake marketing image masking a neoliberal legacy, and after 23 years of people can seen right through this shit.

39. I'm feeling the Bern something fierce now!
