New Hampshire: Bernie leads, Klobuchar climbing as Buttigieg slips

Bernie Sanders appears to be cementing his hold on first place with 27 percent, while Pete Buttigieg, who had surged into a virtual tie with Sanders as the week ended, in second with 19 percent.

And Amy Klobuchar continues her momentum from last night with a 14 percent showing, good for third place. However, she is still within the poll’s 4.4 percent margin of error of Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren, who placed within a fraction of each other in fourth and fifth place…

“This is the first time all of the survey is post-debate,” notes David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center. “Whether Klobuchar’s spike is temporary remains to be seen. Sanders’ improvement comes in two areas: the West/North region – the four counties that know him best – and people torn between him and Warren. If Klobuchar were to finish third or fourth, she’s going to knock someone into that fifth spot, a real dire place to be for Biden or Warren.”
