Bernie Sanders is leading Hillary Clinton with more than just "very liberal" voters, The Washington Post reports. The Vermont senator is also polling way ahead of Clinton with Democratic men in the early primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire. While Clinton snags Democratic women's vote by a margin of 49-35 over Sanders in Iowa, a new Quinnipiac University poll reveals that she lags behind Sanders with men in Iowa by 48-29. While that's not as sizable as Sanders' lead with "very liberal" voters — Quinnipiac has him leading in that category 59-29 — his 19 points on Hillary among men is still what The Washington Post describes as a "huge gender gap."
That gender gap looks even worse for Clinton in New Hampshire. A Marist College/NBC News poll of New Hampshire released last week shows that Sanders beats Clinton by a whopping 24 points with Democratic men, over 2.5 times his overall lead in the state. Even more notable in New Hampshire is the fact that Sanders' lead "was bigger among men than among 'very liberal' voters," The Washington Post reports.
