Sanders, Warren gain on Biden in New Hampshire

The Hill

Former Vice President Joe Biden has a small lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire, but Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) posted solid gains and are closing the gap on the frontrunner, according to a new poll.

The latest Suffolk University-Boston Globe poll finds Biden at 21 percent support, followed by Sanders at 17 percent and Warren at 14 percent. No other candidate has double-digit support in the Granite State.

Sanders and Warren were the poll’s biggest gainers, picking up 5 points and 6 points respectively over the same poll from April.

Sen. Kamala Harris is in fourth place at 8 percent support, followed by South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 6 percent and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) at 3 percent. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is at 1 percent support and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke registered zero percent support.

Interesting tidbit in the New Hampshire poll this morning: Of the state’s voters who said they had heard from a campaign directly, 35% heard from Sanders’, 32% from Warren’s, 21% from Biden’s, and 21% from Harris’.

Holly Otterbein is a reporter (and very good writer) working for Politico, and the daughter of DUer JoeOtterbein.

I agree this is an interesting tidbit.

It's also important to note that NH is practically Sanders's and Warren's political back yard, where you'd expect them to be doing well.

But Biden is STILL leading there.
