He beat Trump between 48% and 42% in this scenario, against 10% for Schultz. Warren fell below Trump – 44% versus 45% – but was in the margin of error.

The survey was conducted from February 21 to 22 with 910 registered voters. It contains a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points and its data was "weighted according to the 2016 election model, age and party affiliation".
Sanders announced his bid on Monday and raised about $ 6 million over the first 24 hours, overtaking his 2020 Democratic rivals. Sanders told the Young Turks that he would look for a vice-presidential candidate "who would May not be the same sex as me and maybe someone younger than two years younger than me ", which would please the 38% of New Hampshire voters who think that a woman should be president or vice president.
An average of primary Democratic polls conducted by RealClearPolitics place Sanders in second place, with 16.8%, behind the 27.5% of Biden.
