The Run For The U.S. Presidency Is Getting Interesting

NBC: Bernie Sanders Leads Hillary Clinton by 9 in New Hampshire, Gains in Iowa: Poll

Bernie Sanders has jumped out to a nine-point lead over front-runner Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, and he's gained ground on her among Iowa voters in the Democratic presidential race, according to a pair of brand-new NBC News/Marist polls.

In New Hampshire, the Vermont senator gets the support of 41 percent of Democratic voters, Clinton gets 32 percent and Vice President Joe Biden gets 16 percent. No other Democratic candidate receives more than 1 percent.

Back in July's NBC/Marist poll, Clinton was ahead of Sanders in the Granite State by 10 points, 42 percent to 32 percent, with Biden at 12 percent.

Without Biden in the race, Sanders' lead over Clinton in the current survey increases to 11 points, 49 percent to 38 percent.

WNU Editor: The focus from the media for the past month has been on the Republican primary .... but the Democrat primary is becoming just as interesting. Bottom line .... Hillary Clinton is not creating the enthusiasm for her campaign that many were hoping for. And while I do not see a socialist like Bernie Sanders winning the Democrat primary .... there is a lot of dissatisfaction in teh Democrat Party rank and file .... and deservedly so. As for Jeb Bush and the Republican primary .... the Bush family and their supporters have had an enormous influence on the Republican Party since the 1980s .... and when Bush senior took the Presidency in 1988 he put an end to the Reagan era and what it stood for. I see that shifting now .... with the Bush era now ending .... and in my opinion deservedly so.
