Bernie's campaign is out of control. He should QUIT now.

But only if the following were true...

Bernie is doing far worse than he was at the beginning against Hillary.
Bernie hasn't won anything recently.
His approval numbers are dropping fast.
And Hillary's are only getting better.
Bernie can't get anyone to show up at his rallies anymore.

And not the opposite, which is actually what's happening.

One year ago Bernie was at 25.8% to Hillary's 59.8 (-34) in national polls. Now, Bernie is within one point; 45.8 to 46.8 (-1).

Bernie has won 8 of the last 9 states.

.
.

His approval numbers are higher than his unfavorables by 8 points.



.
.

Hillary's unfavorables are at 55.6 and her favorables are 15.4 points lower at 40.2. Unfavorables are taking off like a rocket and favorables are dropping like a rock.

Bernie draws 27,000 to rally in New York.

Hillary worries about the oligarchs and she will do all she can to ensure that they remain in good spirits. Bernie doesn't give a damn about them - he is so cold-hearted.

He should have quit before he even started. Then he wouldn't be in the embarrassing fix in which he finds himself.
