AP Photo Poll: Hillary Clinton closes the gap with Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are in a dead heat among likely New Hampshire primary voters, according to the results of a Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll released Friday.

Approximately 37 percent went for the former secretary of state, while 35 percent threw their support behind Sanders. Vice President Joe Biden, who has not announced a run, received just 11 percent. Additionally, just 36 percent want Biden to get into the race, while about 50 percent say the vice president should not seek a third run for the White House (he previously ran in the 1988 and 2008 cycles).


It's a marked swing in the right direction for Clinton, who drew just 28 percent to Sanders' 42 percent in a September NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll in the state. In that poll, too, Biden fared better, at 18 percent.

Suffolk had not polled Democratic voters in New Hampshire since June, when Clinton led by 10 points, 41 percent to 31 percent.

The poll was conducted Oct. 14-15, surveying 500 likely Democratic primary voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
