Analysis: Bernie Sanders essentially tied in Iowa and has now won New Hampshire. But he's only gotten 26% of the vote in both states — and needs to show he can expand beyond his core base if he wants to win the nomination, writes Domenico Montanaro.

Lol what

I’m not another sheep. No thanks, not interested in his unrealistic bs. Trump and Sanders are drunk in their egos.

Wow the establishment can't imagine a change of the system.

If he somehow wins the nomination the Democrats won't have a chance in hell. Of winning the presidency and the DNC knows this

no tx

Spoiler alert: He can’t get more than 30-34% of the vote. Same as it ever was.

People that don’t believe in Bernie are people that haven’t listened to him. He’s the only genuine candidate wanting to make this country great. His interests are in the country and it’s citizens, not in himself

Mayor Pete should drop out of the race. He should go work for Cisco on implementing Chinese censorship if he's interested in doing shady back door shit with apps.

Wow what a terrible way to describe his win NPR’s disdain for Bernie during the 2016 election led me to stop listening/contributing to you completely, shit’s embarrassing for you

BernieWon Bernie2020

PHUCK Domenico Montanaro. Chinga tu madre. Anyone running against SANDERS at this point is Republican.

I will never understand how some who live and enjoy capitalism are so ignorant as to support a socialist, nobody knows what he has until he does not lose

BernieSanders SenSanders this issue must be addressed just answering everyone will have insurance isn’t going to work. It’s deeper than that, this issue will divide TheDemocrats nationally

And the 26% has come after 6 years of campaigning.

He got 26% of the votes out of how many candidates? Do the math, if that ain't enough than it's rigged

And less delegates than Pete in total, two states. What are you doing? Promoting Bernie? Timing needs to change. Those two states contribute a small% of delegates overall.

The progressive wing of the party is getting about 35% of the votes while the moderates get 65%. Obviously most people want a moderate, yet many pundits keep pushing the progressive candidates? This is how Trump can win!

Feel the Bern

He would never get anything passed because his ideas are so far left. Many of his ideas sound good until you calculate the risk and reality of the consequences from his drastic changes.

There are 6 candidates.... Seriously? So you expect him to win with 50% of the vote and have 5 other legitimate contenders split 50%? See how stupid that sounds?

It may be too early and too soon to draw up a definitive conclusion..We definitely need two more states to plot a reliable and predictive curve.

I find it impossible to believe that anyone who supports a dem now would vote for trump if Sanders wins the nom. They may stay home though and that’s where the effort should be if that happens.

What’s the total Dem turnout. That’s the number I want to see.

I really really love you NPR but why are you guys downplaying his victory? And I'm not some Bernie diehard but....your bias is showing.

We want Bernie to win! We need this person!

26% against how many competitors ?

If he wants to win the nomination? And who else should win the nomination, genius? U just said he is number 1 after 2 states elections done! Do u have number 0 that should be endangering him? Unbelievable moron bribed

, you’re supposed to be the non-biased outlet with integrity. Since I know that you’re getting money from the establishment democrats, I no longer need to donate my hard earned cash.

What kind of garbage headline is this

Wow I haven't seen that take before

Positive coverage for 3rd place and horrible coverage for 1st place 😂 gmab

You can be sure that as soon as someone other than Biden secures the nomination, the Biden hoax will come to and abrupt end.

Ok first of all he won Iowa

Complete bullshit.

waiting for the primaries to start....... starting things out with first 2 states being all white doesnt really show how candidates are measuring up nor which ppl are coming out to poll. Looking forward to superTue to see whats what. no shade of candidates, this is shade on DNC

Bernie Sanders won Iowa and New Hampshire.* FTFY

This seems way to slanted against Bernie to be an NPR article. Why does every bash Bernie like this? He has won the popular vote in both contests that has occurred. Not to mention his 2nd presidential run HES A STRONG CANDIDATE

Hello trump 2020

The Ron Paul of democrats and communists if you lose please don’t run again.

He is winning shouldn’t the other candidates, who have less supporters, have to show they can actually appeal to his supporters? Not the other way around! WTF is wrong with you? BernieWonNewHampshire

He’s in first, and that’s with a platform that is far more appealing towards independent voters rather than democrats. Yet everyone is writing this off like its not enough. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I got a better idea. I’m reporting you for disinformation BernieWonNewHampshire

and nobody else has done as well...

stop the but Bernie. Come NPR. He won.

You're better than that 26% comment, ... We all know you are.

So let’s see, Trump LOST Iowa and won N.H. with 35.3%, with the remaining “top tier” candidates accumulating 62.9% of the vote. We all know how that worked out. It’s just another day and another approach at diminishing Sanders’ efforts. See you in Milwaukee DNC.....

Keep moving them goalposts...

Poor Bernie. Trump 2020!!!

Once he is out of his own area, his support will fade away. Pete Buttigieg is the rising star as he has the right message.

Upsetting to see NPR push the same propaganda slant as msnbc. You’re supposed to be better.

Amzing the dem party treat Bernie the same way the main con party treated scump n cronies. Not wasting my vote on Corp owned Joe or billionaires ever again. Bernie/Warren or Warren/Bernie is the only way we win. And we need an A list VP.

What will you say when he starts winning by large numbers in more diverse states? Gad, the media is crazy about keeping Bernie and his supporters down. I don’t get it. We just want H4A, social and racial justice, and for people’s lives to get better.

Spare me this nonsense. He won Iowa with the most votes. He got 26% against numerous strong candidates. His 'base' must be nearly every demographic because he won all the key ones.

Well, he could get 35% if Warren dropped out. That's about it.

Breaking News! NPR furiously shits their pants in desperate neo-liberal messaging campaign that nobody is confusing for real journalism

Strong economy + no war = re-election.

What percent of the vote have the other candidates gotten? More than 26%?

Bernie won

If Pocahontas would drop out he would get at least half of her tribe..

He was battling SEVEN other candidates! That was not the case in the 2016 primaries when he had just one opponent.

Why does it seem that the goal post keep being moved? He can’t win then when he wins he needs to win overwhelmingly. Would Buttigieg Warren Or Klobuchar be facing this analysis?

So does this apply to everyone else who got similar or much less? A sincere question from someone who knows how to do basic math.

9 delegates each is a tie... just saying.

This is correct

He’s also down 1 in pledged delegates.

I used to be a sustaining member. NPR is now clearly an establishment mouthpiece. How can you ignore and denigrate the biggest grassroots political revolution in history? You betray progressives to serve your masters. You will never get another penny from me.

oh no, how will he possibly win the nom with... *checks notes* the most votes out of every candidate running?

His base is the most diverse of any candidate, so the foundation of this argument is ignorant.

Uh oh NPR! Now you’re going to be categorized as bias MSM by the alt left and Russian bots! Look out!

If the other candidates keep splitting the field Bernie can win every state with 25% or less. So I restfully reject Dominico’s premise. If Warren stays in and Bloom, Pete, Amy, or Joe consolidate the right wing of the party Bernie has a problem. Till that happens, Bernie’s fine.

Welp, there's a ton of candidates to spread the votes around. Let's see what happens when more start dropping out.

That IS what he’s doing. That’s what you, the MSM needs to stop sabotaging through lies, manipulation and ya know, the evil sh!t people do when they aren’t owned by the billionaire class.

Bernie is the “Trump of the Left”

Tied in Iowa? In what world is winning the vote by 6k considered a tie?

Last night realDonaldTrump doubled the re-election vote totals in New Hampshire of Barack Obama Trump 2020—120,476 votes Obama 2012—49,080 votes If he were a Democrat running for re-election, this would be the leading story on every network Why do they ignore it now?

'Bernie won the popular vote in both states so far, how will he possibly get enough of the popular vote to be nominated?' Why don't we focus on the fact that Bernie is the only candidate to organize a sizable following that won't abandon his campaign for another candidate?

BOOOOOOOO NeverBernie FBS

'Only'? 26% of votes in a field of 10 candidates is *not* 'only'.

This is spot on! He doesn't have enough yet.

Sanders won both states & no one has ever lost the primaries after winning IA & NH. That's your headline.

thecountryburns If you want Bernie’s voters you better give them MedicareForAll . They arent going to settle for less. Get your head around that.

If Democrats won't vote for Bernie, why should Bernie followers vote for Democrats? It sounds like most Democrats are going to vote for whichever candidate is chosen, but Bernie votes are not guaranteed Democratic votes. Or we can repeat 2016....

Rest in peace your mentions.

Bernie is everything Trump is suppose to be except he’s the real deal establishment is actually going against him, real populist, and loves this country enough to want to be president

Having trouble understanding what he has to offer. He is old, just had a heart attack, looks angry all the time, and touts socialism, that has never worked long term in any country in the world. Socialist countries implode when they run out of other peoples money. 🤔

Bernie's ideology isn't due this society...not yet anyway...the moderate right, right and independents will not generally go for this. We can only pray Trump steps up his bullshit an extra notch or two

NPR: Mr. Sanders has to address the need for a Victims Justice System which would include funding for support for victims of crime to include emotional, physical and financial challenges. Not fair to spend $75,000 per day/per inmate on an incarcerated felon and $0 on the victim

🙄 this is how we get a repeat of 2016... keep it up news media.

he won iowa

When Bernie wins-he should have won bigger-it's nothing. Amy come in 3rd and she's a star. The fact that the pundits hate Bernie shows that they are very much part of the Establishment he opposes.

it was pretty much another tie in New Hampshire

Hail Hitler Bernie! Racist!

It looks like he will be joined by most of the Yang Gangsters.

As other candidates either surge or leave the race, the percentages will change. It is way too early to predict ANYTHING!

He won boffum

It should concern him and the DNC that only 26% of democrat primary voters from the state right next to the one Bernie has represented in congress/senate for decades actually approve of his job performance. It shouldn't have been a close race.

There's a ton of good candidates at the moment, throw in Bloomberg and Steyer as well and it's hard to run away with it.

Why are people pretending like they don't know there is an eight-candidate field?

Isn't that what all the candidates need to do right now? That is kinda the point, isn't it?

I love it when 'analysis' is just a thinly veiled partisanship. Of course, SSDD -- y'all have been doing the same thing for Trump for five years, why would Bernie be different?

Tied in Iowa? He only had 6000 more votes. Bernie Won New Hampshire. NPR is just a mouthpiece for the establishment. What happened to you guys? Did you get some of that sweet Oligarch Cash? You should ask Bloomberg, I heard he's trying to buy an election.

BernieSanders is by far the only person that can go head to head with realDonaldTrump and beat him. FeelTheBern

Why do none of the other democratic candidates have to do the same thing? 🤔

Broker convention is on the way.

He's running against 5 other candidates and STILL got 26% of the vote, you dips

ok now write this headline with people who did substantially worse than him who also need to do the same thing
