1. But look at MOM numbers then Bernie and remember Bernie is an avowed Democratic

Socialist.

These numbers are not that bad given all that and how much time is left.

I love that we have two, even three GOOD candidates.

I know you put a good deal of effort in that. You should feel proud of yourself and your day's accomplishments.

8. Such a bitter post needs some

sweet cookies. enjoy

[morningfog]

9. Those are some stale ass cookies you keep pushing.

I notice that despite your repeated efforts, no one has chosen to take one.

[riversedge]

11. a closed mind will lead to a stall mind. so sorry they did not sweeten you up.

7. HRC's Campaign Manager: "A lot of the public polling is not very reliable"

Mook also dismissed recent poll numbers that suggest Hillary Clinton’s favorability numbers are slipping. According to a CNN poll published last week, 57% of Americans think the former secretary of state is not trustworthy. “A lot of the public polling is not very reliable,” Mook said. “I don’t pay a whole lot of attention to it.”

10. And Trump

Poll Shows Hillary Clinton Leading Donald Trump, but Struggling With Marco Rubio, Ben Carson

That's OK. She will be able to handle Rubio if he is the nominee. I doubt that Carson will be.

12. Reality: We Don't Vote That Way. (eom)

[liquidlarry]

14. I don't think so

My wife and I are in Iowa, me at 67 life long, my wife from many places, military brat ... Don't let anyone tell you Bernie is not doing well in Iowa . I have been to 3 events my wife 2, he fills or over fills every one... With Bernie you get exactly what you see... I love the honesty..

[litlbilly]

17. I bet none of those people at Bernie rallies are polled. How else can Hillary be Crushing it?

They post and repost those same ppp, correct the record polls. they are basically a Hillary internal poll and mean absolutely nothing

30. Unfortunately for you, IA won't determine the outcome of the primaries. We're much more diverse....

as party, than the state of Iowa. Despite the anecdotes about "you and your wife", even if BS manages to pull off both IA & NH, he will have his ass handed to him in the South.

[workinclasszero]

15. Go Hillary!!

[mgmaggiemg]

18. yep

cheers, Maggie

[Helen Borg]

19. Hillary will need a lot of moral support...

On the day of her unavoidable defeat.

[Stuckinthebush]

20. Except for DU, Clinton is crushing it everywhere

It's no contest. Clinton will win the primary.

Bernie will enthusiastically endorse her and campaign for her. Hell, he may even be her VP.

The Dems win the general against Trump or Cruz.

I can't wait for this damn primary season to be over so the silliness stops on DU and we get back to our other contentious discussions!

[comradebillyboy]

26. Bernie may give a lukewarm endorsement but

I seriously doubt he will campaign for any Democratic Party candidate and I don't think he will continue to identify as a Democrat once his primary campaign is over.

[stonecutter357]

21. K&R!

[Vinca]

22. I wish I felt more optimistic about her winning the general.

[Nitram]

23. No need to use "crushing" to describe Clinton's lead.

Bernie is a good candidate too.

[forest444]

25. These leads are suspiciously strong

Especially given what we already know about pollsters' tendency to over-poll white seniors with a landline.

Neilsen's 'People Meters' do the same thing, I understand - and Wegmans has ties to Fox. It's important to remember that polling and ratings data in general is far from squeaky clean in this country these days.

[Tarheel_Dem]

27. This sounds "suspiciously" like what people say when the polls don't say what they want to hear.

[forest444]

28. Could be.

You may have noticed that I usually stay away from the Clinton/Sanders banter here at DU, and when I do participate I make no bones about my preference for Bernie Sanders. But let me assure that (God willing) I plan on voting for whomever the nominee is.

Nevertheless, thes spate of polls showing lopsided Clinton margin are suspicious, whether one's for Hillary or not. All the more so since a few have already been caught oversampling older, whiter, landline (possibly rotary phone) using voters. Something to consider.

[Tarheel_Dem]

29. Perhaps the "sampling" is based on who actually turns out to vote R-E-G-U-L-A-R-L-Y.

[forest444]

31. You have a point there.

You gotta love the energy in these young kids; but God knows it won't mean much if half of them stay at home or in their dorm rooms playing beer pong.
