http://polling.reuters.com/#poll/TR131/filters/PARTY_ID_:1/dates/20160101-20160223/type/smallestThis is the same metric they use for their occasional poll releases. Likely Dem Voters still shows Bernie behind. Take these numbers with a grain of salt though. This pollster is notoriously variable, but one can definitely take note of the trends. Despite Nevada and the narrative of impending doom for the Sanders Campaign, Bernie is picking up momentum.

(3,649 posts)Bernie is definitely outclassed on Super Tuesday, but he might win enough states to hang on. If he can pull off some upsets after Super Tuesday, watch out.

(39,171 posts)he has to do more than win, he has to win huge. And I don't see that happening.

(10,786 posts)The superdelegates will get behind him because he's the only candidate with a chance to win in November.

(39,171 posts)he will be in a hole following Super Tuesday. It is true that there will be states that are more favorable to him and he will certainly gain delegates. However, Hillary will also be gaining delegates so Bernie has to win by margins that allow him to overcome his post-Super Tuesday deficit. It will be extremely hard. There is a reason why the experts that understand the math are saying that his position is precarious.

I guess its a good way to ignore the fact that your candidate is facing certain doom in the PRIMARIES in next five days or so.
