Sanders and Buttigieg surge in New Hampshire. Bloomberg barely registers
New Hampshire Democratic primary voters are saying bye-bye to Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former Vice President Joe Biden and embracing Sen. Bernie Sanders and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg in a new poll.
Once dominating the state that hosts the nation’s first primary next year, Biden and Warren have fallen, and Sanders has taken the lead followed by “Mayor Pete,” according to an Emerson Polling/WHDH 7 News survey.
The current rankings:
- Sanders 26%
- Buttigieg 22%
- Biden 14%
- Warren 14%
In the last poll, taken in September, Biden led with 24%, followed by Warren at 21%. Sanders was third at 13% and Buttigieg at 11%.
Of note Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is now fifth with 6%.
And it was the latest poll to show virtually no support for former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, at 1%.
Sanders has surged despite some concerns about his health.
Emerson’s Spencer Kimball said, “The Democratic voters have taken a look at Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren, and they appear unsatisfied at this time which brought some voters back to Bernie Sanders while others are now moving to a fresh face in Pete Buttigieg, this demonstrates the fluidity of the race.”
He found that Sanders is winning with the support of younger, liberal voters.
But, Kimball emphasized, a majority of New Hampshire Democratic voters could change their minds.
