A a Suffolk University poll last week showed Sanders at 31 percent compared to Hillary Clinton’s 41 percent, while a a CNN/WMUR poll Thursday shows Clinton with just an 8 point lead.
With his numbers climbing, Sanders’ popularity in New Hampshire may be less an issue right now than his party status, as running as a Democrat may be problematic.
On July 1, Sanders will appear in Madison, Wisconsin, at Veterans Memorial Coliseum at Alliant Energy Center, and he will move on to Rochester, Minnesota, the next day at the Rochester International Event, before moving on to Iowa, which has swung Democrat in three of the last four elections.
Hrafnkell Haraldsson, a social liberal with leanings toward centrist politics has degrees in history and philosophy. His interests include, besides history and philosophy, human rights issues, freedom of choice, religion, and the precarious dichotomy of freedom of speech and intolerance. He brings a slightly different perspective to his writing, being that he is neither a follower of an Abrahamic faith nor an atheist but a polytheist, a modern-day Heathen who follows the customs and traditions of his Norse ancestors. He maintains his own blog, A Heathen’s Day, which deals with Heathen and Pagan matters, and Mos Maiorum Foundation www.mosmaiorum.org, dedicated to ethnic religion. He has also contributed to NewsJunkiePost, GodsOwnParty and Pagan+Politics.
