Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is on the rise in New Hampshire, surging past his closest competitors by double-digits, according to an American Research Group poll released Tuesday.
The socialist senator is experiencing a surge in his neighboring state, garnering 28 percent support — 15 points more than former Vice President Joe Biden (D), who garnered 13 percent support. Pete Buttigieg (D) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) followed closely behind Biden with 12 percent and 11 percent, respectively.
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) came in fifth place in the Granite State with eight percent support, edging out Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), who saw seven percent support. Andrew Yang (D) followed with five percent support, and the remaining candidates saw two percent support or less.
The poll was taken January 24-27, 2020, among 600 likely Democrat primary voters in New Hampshire. The margin of error is +/- four percentage points:
