Washington Post: "Hillary Clinton’s polling this year looks a lot like 2008"

link; excerpt:

Here's how Hillary Clinton's lead is faring in this year's average vs. how it evolved in 2008. ... About five months before the New Hampshire primary (which was a month earlier in 2008), Clinton's lead was at about 15. This cycle, that was a big plunge; in 2008, it was pretty much where she'd been. Then the lead in each cycle grew a bit, putting her back up into the 20-point range with about three months out. Then, quick drops, usually after voting happened. In 2008, the giant plunge came right after Iowa.

On Feb. 20, 2008, Clinton was already trailing Barack Obama, as she would permanently. This week, we saw a major poll for the first time putting Bernie Sanders in the lead.... Thanks to what happened with that yellow line in 2008, Clinton should know what to watch out for.

1. Go Bernie!!

The momentum is there and what he is doing is working. No smears and keep talking about the issues. I love it!

2. But with a much bigger fall.

That's gotta hurt.

3. It seems that the more people see her on the campaign trail...

... the more they vote for the other candidates. She is just obviously not very good at campaigning.

Why would the DNC think she could win the GE easier than Bernie?

4. This has had a 2008 feel for a while now

8. Sadly, in more ways than just the polling.

9. Yup, and I predict it will get worst than 2008

on a personal level it already has.

5. she is going down on every poll

and sanders just goes up and up

6. No wonder they're panicking, lying, pulling dirty tricks

If that graph doesn't convince someone that Hillary's campaign is in trouble ...

If she loses Nevada today ... her lead will be gone - and she may find herself 5 pts behind

11. Historically she's at her ceiling and her numbers don't go up.
