A new Franklin Pierce / Boston Herald poll in New Hampshire has shown quite a shake-up in the Democratic candidates. Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders is leading Hillary Clinton 44% to 37%.
According to The Boston Herald, “Just 35 percent of likely primary voters say they are “excited” about Clinton’s campaign, according to the poll. And 51 percent of voters say that while they could support her, they aren’t enthusiastic about her White House bid.
Clinton has recently faced greater criticism regarding her email scandal, and just released a $350 billion plan for cutting student loan debt in an effort to emphasize her policy plans.
Sanders has been running a populist, grassroots campaign, standing out as a self-proclaimed “socialist”.
Both Clinton and Sanders have had Black Lives Matter protestors try to interrupt their rallies.
This may change how voters are viewing the Democratic race to be candidate which many have assumed will go directly to Hillary.
