Sen. Bernie Sanders, the only candidate in the Democratic race who identifies as a Democratic socialist, is rising in polls of early-voting states, which appears to be worrying the left.
For polling on the Iowa Democratic presidential caucus, RealClearPolitics has Sanders leading by 3.2 points on average, and the trend is similar in New Hampshire, where RCP has him with an 8-point advantage over former Vice President Joe Biden.
In some polls, such as in Boston Herald/FPU’s survey, Sanders’s lead marks a change from just two weeks ago, when Biden led the pack of Democrats with 26 points.
Even still, however, FiveThirtyEight cautions that the race between Sanders and Biden is neck-and-neck.
