Bernie Sanders is surging again in New Hampshire.

He eclipses Hillary Clinton 41 to 36 there in Bloomberg survey that came out this morning.

They're statistically tied in New Hampshire at roughly 36 percent each Real Clear Politics' polling chart illustrates, with just .02 percent separating them when the five most recent surveys of Democrats in the first primary state are taken into account.

When it comes to personality, though, Sanders is the clear favorite of Granite State voters. He's more popular there than President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and both of the Clintons.

Bernie Sanders, seen here yesterday on Capitol hill, is surging again in New Hampshire. He eclipses Clinton 41 to 36 there in Bloomberg survey that came out this morning

The Bloomberg poll foretold good news for Sanders, overall. New Hampshire voters were evenly split in their reaction to his stance on lawsuits against gun manufacturers but they said by a large margin they weren't bothered by his democratic socialist views

Sanders is liked by 86 percent of New Hampshire voters. Obama gets good ratings from 83 percent. Bill and Hillary Clinton were next with 78 percent and 77 percent each. Biden trailed them at 75 percent.

Other Democrats polled did far worse. No others made it over 50 percent.

The Bloomberg poll foretold good news for Sanders overall. New Hampshire voters were evenly split in their reaction to his stance on lawsuits against gun manufacturers but they said by a large margin they weren't bothered by his democratic socialist views.

Sanders reaffirmed during last week's Democratic debate his view that gun manufacturers should not be liable for mass murders committed with their firearms if they followed the rules when selling their products.

Roughly half of New Hampshire voters said they were fine with that position, 47 percent, while the other 47 percent said they were not.

When it comes to Sanders' self-professed democratic socialist views, left-leaning voters said 80 to 16 they weren't overly concerned.

Seven in 10 Democrats likewise said that Hillary Clinton's server scandal didn't play a major part in their vote.

Another 67 percent said congressional investigations into the Benghazi attack that occurred while she was secretary of state weren't damaging her as a candidate as far as they were concerned.

Voters were worried about Clinton's changing positions on major issues - 42 percent said it bothered them while 54 percent said it did not.

The New Hampshire primary, now less than four months away, could end up being a nail-biter, with either Sanders or Clinton coming out on top.

They've been battling for first in the Granite State for several months.

Clinton came out on top in surveys taken by the Boston Globe, Public Policy Polling and WBUR last week. In the same time period the Boston Herald and Bloomberg, working in tandem with St. Anselm college, gave the nod to Sanders.

Also in the mix is Vice President Biden. He scored a high of 19 percent in a Boston Herald poll, but he's averaging seven points less after three months of playing cat and mouse with a presidential bid.

The Bloomberg poll has Biden at 10 percent.

Two other Democrats running for president, Martin O'Malley and Lincoln Chafee, registered no support at all in the survey, while single-issue candidate Lawrence Lessig, who is running on a campaign finance reform platform, had one percent of New Hampshire Democrats rooting for him.

The New Hampshire primary, now less than four months away, could end up being a nail-biter, with either Sanders or Clinton coming out on top. They're seen here together last week at the first Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas
