Sen. Bernie Sanders jumped out to a double-digit lead over his 2020
Democratic presidential rivals in a poll of likely New Hampshire primary
voters released Thursday—less than three weeks ahead of the state's Feb. 11
primary.

"Bernie Sanders might be peaking at just the right time," wrote

Anthony
Brooks of Boston NPR affiliate WBUR, which sponsored the new poll.
According to the survey, Sanders has the support of 29% of likely New
Hampshire Democratic primary voters, a 14-point jump since December 2019.

Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg polled in a distant second
place at 17% support. Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth
Warren (D-Mass.) placed third and fourth with 14% and 13% support,
respectively.

Steve Koczela, president of the MassINC Polling Group that conducted the
survey, told WBUR that Sanders' presidential campaign shouldn't "take these
numbers to the bank."

"But you've got to be feeling pretty good about where you stand right at
this moment if you're the Sanders campaign," Koczela added.

The poll results are based on a survey of 426 likely New Hampshire
Democratic primary voters between January 17-21. The margin of error for
the poll is +/- 4.8 percentage points.

The New Hampshire poll came just a day after Sanders took the lead
nationally for the first time

in
CNN's Democratic primary survey, besting Biden by three percentage points.

Krystal Ball, co-host of *HillTV*'s "Rising," said the two strong polls for
Sanders could spark an "establishment meltdown."

Mehdi Hasan, a columnist for *The Intercept*, echoed

"That sound you hear? The Democratic establishment and centrist media types
screaming in shock and anguish," tweeted Hasan. "Prepare for a barrage of
negative attacks on Bernie in the coming days. A barrage."
