The DC media’s rehabilitation campaign to save Democrat Hillary Clinton began with a 5-day infomercial courtesy of NBC News and ended with glowing post-debate spin that declared Clinton empress of all that is good and just in the world. Per the media, she not only beat Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), she effectively told Vice President Joe Biden, “Don’t even think about it.” A recent poll out of New Hampshire shows that actual voters in the crucially important early primary might not agree with their Media Overlords.
According to a Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll released Monday, Sanders leads Clinton 48% to 38%. That is without Biden in the race. Should the Vice President jump in, Sanders is up +8, 38% to 30%. Biden sits at 19%.
Moreover, among NH Democrats, Clinton’s favorability rating has dipped -6 points since August, from 80% to just 74%. In March, Hillary’s favorable were +10 points higher at 84%.
A full 83% of NH Democrat voters view Sanders favorably, a +7 point increase.
In theReal Clear Politics poll of NH polls, Sanders enjoys a +5.7% lead.
For all the DC media talk about Biden having to make a decision now, his favorability rating also sits at 83%. Sounds like the media is more frustrated by Biden’s fence-sitting than actual voters.
Nationally, Clinton is still well ahead of Sanders. A new Monmouth University poll shows that Clinton has increased her lead over the socialist challenger, but not by much. Hillary is up 48% to 21%. Prior to the debate she led 42% to 21%.
In another new national CNN poll, Clinton enjoys a +16 point (45% to 29%) lead over Sanders but in this poll, post-last week’s debate, Sanders has actually gained +2 points over Clinton. In September he was behind -18 points (24% – 42%).
