Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie
Sanders is sending an earthquake through politics as usual by
skyrocketing up two new polls of Iowa and New Hampshire.
To say that Bernie Sanders is skyrocketing in the latest NBC News/Marist polls of Iowa and New Hampshire
might be an understatement. In Iowa, Sanders has gone from trailing
Hillary Clinton by 29 points in July (55%-26%) to trailing by 11 points
(48%-37%).
In New Hampshire, Senator Sanders has gone from
trailing former Sec. of State Clinton by thirteen points (47%-34%) to
leading Clinton by eleven points (49%-38%). Sanders has a higher
approval rating than Clinton among New Hampshire Democrats (79%-69%).
Bernie Sanders’ spokesman Michael Briggs summed up
why voters are reacting well to Sen. Sanders, “Bernie is leading the
fight to rebuild the disappearing American middle class and take on the
greed of the billionaire class. These new polls confirm that the more
voters get to know Bernie the better they like him and what he stands
for.”
Briggs hit the nail on the head. Democratic voters
like Bernie Sanders and his message. The more Democratic voters get to
know Senator Sanders, the more that they like him. It isn’t that Democrats
have stopped liking Hillary Clinton, but that Bernie Sanders has seen
his popularity surge.
To anyone who has been paying attention to politics
over the last few years, the Sanders message of fighting the
billionaires and standing up for the working people of this country is
nothing new.
The idea that millions of Americans could rally
around a 73-year-old Independent Senator to take back the U.S.
government from the billionaires is sending a message to the media and
political leaders.
The Sanders campaign isn’t just about an election.
It is a popular movement against politicians who have been bought by
billionaires and elected representatives who ignore the will of those
that they have taken an oath to represent.
The people are fueling the rise of Bernie Sanders,
by unifying to take their country back from the billionaires and
corporations.
