Poll: Sanders, Biden lead Democrats in 2020 New Hampshire primary

By REBECCA MORIN 02/28/2019 05:54 PM EST

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is the leading choice among Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire, according to a new poll, with more than a quarter of those surveyed expressing support for the progressive candidate in the increasingly growing field of presidential candidates.

Twenty-six percent of Democratic primary voters support Sanders, an independent, when provided a list of declared candidates and those who will possibly join the race, according to the University of New Hampshire’s Granite State Poll.

Trailing Sanders, former Vice President Joe Biden is favored by 22 percent of Democratic voters. Sen. Kamala Harris of California and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts followed, with 10 percent and 7 percent, respectively. Fourteen percent of those surveyed remain undecided.

New Hampshire holds the first primary in the presidential election cycle, and is often seen — along with Iowa, which holds the first caucuses — as a determiner of who will go on to become a party’s nominee.

If Joe or Beto get in, their impact on the race will be interesting.

They certainly don't measure up to Bernie, but who does?

I am not surprised by the poll. Bernie Sanders is from a nearby state (Vermont), and can appeal to rural voters. Joe Biden is from the Northeast, and can appeal to the Moderates in New Hampshire.

My favorite (current and potential) 2020 Presidential candidates are Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. And then probably Kirsten Gillibrand, Julián Castro, and Andrew Yang.

We talk once a week on the phone.

I keep her updated on Bernie and she keeps me updated on Sen. Warren. 😎
