I love how the new poll headline reads
"Clinton leads Dems but support drops "
then we get this
"In the contest for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Rodham Clinton has lost significant ground over the past two months, as she has struggled to manage the controversy over her use of a private e-mail server while secretary of state. She still leads the field of Democrats, but for the first time her support has dropped below 50 percent in Post-ABC surveys, with the biggest decline coming among white women"
but the truth is its not even close between her and Sanders. But that's not what people think reading the cliff notes.
Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, Clinton is the choice of 42 percent of registered voters. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is second with 24 percent and Vice President Biden, who is deciding whether to run, is third with 21 percent. Sanderss support has risen by 10 points since July, while Biden has gained nine points.

(66 posts)"The survey indicates that if Biden decides not to run, Clinton would benefit far more than Sanders, at least initially. Without Biden on the list, Clinton jumps 14 points, to 56 percent, among Democratic-leaning voters, while Sanders rises four points, to 28 percent."
So why is Biden even asked in the polls? He hasn't even said he is running yet. Its BS against Hillary.
For the Republicans why don't they ask if random people were in the race what would be the numbers? So right now Hillary is at 56%.. That's pretty freaking good if you ask me.

I'm not worried. Never was never will be.
Hillary leads in every category.
Come Super Tuesday we look toward the general.

(12,348 posts)Mostly empty but chained to her. Unfortunately it would take a huge mandate and THEN consistent destruction of the RW to
a) remove it as an deadlocking issue during her term b) remove the RW survival tactic of meaningless hate.
This may be a shameful admission deep in our hearts, but we would rather not deal weakly with this or deny the issue completely. Something or someone fresher would give us temporary relief until they get their same old idiotic entitlement to smear someone else like Sanders. The RW has been feeding off this for decades and will continue. And not just with Hillary of course. What is an issue is how to deal with it. Obama certainly gets a mixed rating there.
