Yes, it’s one state away from his home-state, but it’s still a very important primary, and Bernie being TWENTY FREAKING SEVEN POINTS above Hillary is sure to make her quake in her cankle-boots.

Here’s more from CNN:
Bernie Sanders’ lead over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire is on the rise, with the Vermont senator leading the former secretary of state by 27 points, 60% to 33%, a new CNN/WMUR poll has found.
The new poll, mostly conducted before Sunday night’s debate, found Sanders’ support has grown by 10 points since a late-November/early December CNN/WMUR poll, which found Sanders holding 50% to Clinton’s 40%.
New Hampshire Democrats’ views on the race are solidifying as well, with 52% saying they have definitely decided who they will support, up from 36% who felt that way in early December. Among those voters, Sanders holds an even broader 64% to 35% lead.
He’s beating her so bad it should be considered domestic violence.
But the Vermont senator’s support rests heavily on groups whose participation in New Hampshire primaries is less reliable — notably younger voters and those who aren’t registered Democrats.
There are some signs in the poll that the increasingly contested Democratic race is gaining attention among the state’s undeclared voters, who are not registered as members of any party and are able to choose which party’s primary they will participate in. In the December poll, 38% of undeclared voters who said they planned to vote said they would likely participate in the Democratic primary, a figure that is up to 48% in the new poll.
Wow. I don’t care how you parse those results, that’s BAD for Hillary. That doesn’t mean Bernie has a chance to topple the cankled commie queen from her coronation, but if there’s any chance at all, he’s gonna have to knock her out of Iowa and New Hampshire.
