Senator from Vermont leads Clinton by six points in new Reuters/Ipsos poll released Tuesday

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Bernie Sanders ahead of Hillary Clinton by six points nationwide, his biggest lead in the presidential race so far.

The survey, released Tuesday, shows Sanders polling at 41.7 percent among 998 likely Democratic voters, while Clinton got 35.5 percent.

As Salon points out, Reuters' daily tracking feature "illustrates that Sanders has led Clinton nationally for a majority of days in February."

The figures come just ahead of the Democratic primary in South Carolina on February 27, where Sanders is still trailing the former secretary of state. According to Bloomberg, the senator has 200 paid staffers on the ground in South Carolina, making it his biggest state operation thus far.

3. I watched HRC saying that she doesn't pay any attention to polls, laughed, then proceeded to

quote the ones she liked. It was an amazing experience...didn't miss a beat.

Polls are just snapshots in time...and all are subject to change. But the entire political system runs on them, so there's that.
