Bernie Sanders' Popularity Making Hillary Clinton Campaign 'Nervous'
…
Now, just a few weeks until the first voting begins in Iowa and New Hampshire, her campaign is showing signs they're more anxious than ever about the outcome of these races.
The most blatant sign came earlier this week when Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook sent a fundraising email to supporters with the subject line "nervous."
…
Two days later, the campaign sent another fundraising email mentioning the "(seriously!) tight" polls in New Hampshire.
The e-mail came after Fox News released a poll showing Sanders, who is from neighboring Vermont, ahead of Clinton in New Hampshire by 13 points.
In light of tightening polls, the Clinton campaign has also ramped up its aggressive opposition against Sanders.
On Monday, the campaign pro-actively went after Sanders ahead of his Wall Street reform speech. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Clinton questioned his electability. On Thursday, the campaign engaged in a back-and-forth with him on their paid leave plans. And on Friday, the campaign went after him on guns after Sanders' campaign said there is "zero daylight" between him and Obama on gun control.
...
That poll (Fox), showing Sanders up 13 points in NH in January, shows a 12 point gain since mid-December. Most interestingly, it showed Sanders beating Clinton among women voters. Another poll showed Sanders gaining 7 points nationally since November and nearly hitting the 40% mark for the first time (39%). A PPP poll taken at the same time in NH showed a tie, so we could use more polls to see if the trend is confirmed. Some have suggested the Fox poll is wrong and the PPP poll is right, but 538 rates the polling agency for Fox as more accurate than PPP. We’ll have to wait for our first poll from Iowa in the new year to see if he is gaining there as well. With all this going on, it is no wonder the Clinton campaign is going after Sanders so hard right now.
