This isn't an issue with the poster but the narrative a lot in the media use to push these polls. No, Sanders didn't overtake Biden. Why? Because there's no other poll from Gravis from New Hampshire to reference. You can't compare two different polls, with two different sample sizes, and different methodologies, and suggest they're comparable. They're not. This is a poll independent of every other - and the first Gravis poll of the state.

A more accurate headline would be the paragraph they lead with:

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) leads the Democratic presidential field in New Hampshire with 21 percent in a Gravis Marketing poll released Tuesday.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
