Wait! Amy Klobuchar Is Surging In New Hampshire.

Are more New Hampshire polls going to drop between now and tomorrow? I don’t think so. Here’s the latest:

Compared to Friday, Sanders is surging even more strongly, while Biden and Warren are tanking even worse. But the big news is Amy Klobuchar. On Friday she was at 9 percent, several points below both Biden and Warren. Today she’s surged to 12 percent, slightly ahead of Biden and Warren. If she accomplishes the holy grail of primary campaigns—“better than expected”—could that mean she’s starting to peak at precisely the right time?

Hard to say! And in three weeks, Mike Bloomberg gets his first real test on Super Tuesday. Nationally he’s now in fourth place at 13 percent, but still doing poorly in California, the biggest delegate prize of them all. Stay tuned.

AN IMPORTANT UPDATE

We’re falling behind our online fundraising goals and we can’t sustain coming up short on donations month after month. Perhaps you’ve heard? It is impossibly hard in the news business right now, with layoffs intensifying and fancy new startups and funding going kaput.

The crisis facing journalism and democracy isn’t going away anytime soon. And neither is Mother Jones, our readers, or our unique way of doing in-depth reporting that exists to bring about change.

Which is exactly why, despite the challenges we face, we just took a big gulp and joined forces with the Center for Investigative Reporting, a team of ace journalists who create the amazing podcast and public radio show Reveal.

If you can part with even just a few bucks, please help us pick up the pace of donations. We simply can’t afford to keep falling behind on our fundraising targets month after month.

Editor-in-Chief Clara Jeffery said it well to our team recently, and that team 100 percent includes readers like you who make it all possible: “This is a year to prove that we can pull off this merger, grow our audiences and impact, attract more funding and keep growing. More broadly, it’s a year when the very future of both journalism and democracy is on the line. We have to go for every important story, every reader/listener/viewer, and leave it all on the field. I’m very proud of all the hard work that’s gotten us to this moment, and confident that we can meet it.”

Let’s do this. If you can right now, please support Mother Jones and investigative journalism with an urgently needed donation today.
