WOLFEBORO, N.H. — Bernie Sanders tried to fend off a kitchen sink’s worth of attacks from Hillary Clinton and her allies yesterday, accusing the former Secretary of State of “panicking” amid his surging poll numbers in New Hampshire and Iowa — as both campaigns are set to collide ?here today.

“I think it’s fair to say that we have a lot of momentum,” Sanders told a few hundred supporters here last night. “In my view, we will win in Iowa and we will win in New Hampshire if — and it’s a big if — there is a large voter turnout.”

A new CNN/ORC poll of likely caucus-goers in Iowa yesterday showed Sanders with a stunning 8-point lead in that state, 51 to 43 percent. That’s on top of a CNN/WMUR poll earlier this week showing Sanders with a massive 27-point lead in New Hampshire, 60-33 percent.

With her support appearing to slip away, Clinton in Iowa yesterday dismissed Sanders as a dreamer whose ideas “will never make it in the real world.”

But the Vermont U.S. senator’s campaign hit Clinton back for comments one of her aides made to reporters that her speech was designed to “shake some sense ?into Iowans.”

“At a time when Secretary Clinton’s lead is evaporating in Iowa, we understand why her campaign is panicking and saying absurd things,” said Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs.

“The people of Iowa showed extraordinary courage in 2008 by voting for Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton, and many Iowans now understand that it’s too late for her brand of establishment politics ?and establishment economics,” Briggs said.

Team Clinton also organized a conference call with reporters to slam Sanders’ plan on ISIS and Iran, and David Brock, the head of a Clinton super PAC, questioned the lack of diversity in a Sanders campaign ad by telling The Associated Press: “From this ad it seems black lives don’t matter much to Bernie Sanders.”

The Sanders campaign called Brock a “mudslinger” that Clinton should be “ashamed” of.

Meanwhile, Sanders stumped from the border of Massachusetts to Lake Winnipesaukee yesterday. He denounced the sixth anniversary of the Citizens United decision in Peterborough, urged Southern New Hampshire University students to break the narrative that college kids don’t vote, lamented wealth inequality at a poverty forum in Nashua and was introduced by his son, Levi Sanders, at a town hall in Wolfeboro.

At nearly every stop, Sanders crusaded against big corporations, slamming Goldman Sachs’ $5 billion settlement with state and federal investigators last week over its handling of mortgage-backed securities before the financial crisis.

“If some kid was picked up with marijuana, you get a police record,” said Sanders at SNHU. “But if you destroy the entire United States economy, millions of people losing their jobs, their homes and their life savings, nothing happens to you.”

“You get a bonus!” someone in the crowd shouted.
