"Clinton continues to be the odds-on favorite for the Democratic nomination, but Democrats don't have a particularly strong attachment to seeing her become their nominee," Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, said in a statement.

In New Hampshire, Sanders is polling within six points of Clinton — considered a statistical tie due to margin of error.
As Sanders continues to call out the oligarchy and refuse big-money donations, his populist message is soaring. It may be time for Clinton to start getting nervous.
