According to a new WMUR Granite State poll, Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders is essentially tied with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire when you factor in the margin of error.

More from WMUR:

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is chipping away at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s lead in the 2016 New Hampshire primary campaign, WMUR’s latest poll shows.

The WMUR Granite State Poll taken July 22-30 shows frontrunner Clinton with a 6 percentage point lead over the challenger from Vermont. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 5.9 percent, prompting the pollster to call the race a statistical tie.

The poll shows Clinton leading Sanders 42 percent to 36 percent, with 5 percent supporting Vice President Joe Biden, who has been the subject of speculation in recent days about the possibility of becoming a candidate. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and former U.S. Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia each receive 1 percent, with 3 percent favoring some other candidate and 12 percent undecided.

As a reminder, when Clinton lost New Hampshire and Iowa against Barack Obama in 2008, she couldn't regain enough momentum for a comeback.

We (not just GBR but sane people in general) are making a big mistake if we laugh him off as just a socialist crackpot with no chance of success. History demonstrates that voters are capable of choosing the worst possible candidate.

PLEASE let Bernie Sanders be the Democrat nominee!  PLEASE!

I don't think it would happen but I think he might knock her out of the race which would be some delicious schadenfreude.

I've seen more Bernie bumper stickers than Hillary ones driving around the People's Republic of Boulder.   :shrug:

I spent a year off from college living in the PRB. Good memories, sort of. Some days I miss it, most I don't. Actually met alot of great people who weren't ultra leftist, but the hippies were pretty insufferable.

I hope he weakens her to the point where she can't win. I do want her to be the nominee. A weaker Dem might give Obama the impetus to stay a little longer than he should.

Bernie comments on the GOP debate via Facebook:
Quote
Bernie Sanders


The Republican debate is over. Not one word about income and wealth inequality, climate change, Citizens United or student debt. That's why the Republicans are so out of touch with the American people. What I heard was more tax breaks for the rich, more people losing health insurance and more talk about war. This is not what we need.

Be careful what you wish for, Bigun.

This guy makes Obama, of all people, look like Rush Limbaugh.

He has an alarming following among the younger generation. I see a lot of my friends ready to vote for this guy and everything he stands for. They want "democratic socialism," the idea that 51% of the people can vote themselves the right to the other 49%'s stuff.

Well, America, it was good while it lasted.

And not one word was mentioned about "tax breaks for the rich" anywhere in that debate. It is clear that Sanders was not even watching, just spewing talking points.

They've been told America is a 'democracy' their whole lives.

I guess they believed it...

This dynamic will push BJ Clinton's bride even further left.
