Clinton continues to rebound off her falling trend lines.

This was the sort of poll I was looking for post-debate. Clinton apparently did make more of an upward move after the debate.

Darnit, and I thought the debate would actually help Bernie. He actually appears to have lost more, instead.

People get so tied up in this stuff, myself included. It's nice to have a reminder to continue playing this thing out when it feels so hopeless.

Many people here, especially for Bernie I think, are rather new to political campaigns and haven't experienced the eb and flow if these things and are a bit early in declaring the sky is falling.

I'm sure the number will improve. Hillary gave a good interview today talked about Bernie and her ideas, however somewhat different is more than your hearing from the other side. She believes over the next weeks and months, idea and plans will sharpen up as they hear from people.

many have already stated on other threads skew results because they miss the younger demographic. I think the most significant factor is the amount of money generated after the debates.

cuts In Social safety net to pay for these wars.so people like me are screwed
more trade bills to favor corporions and kill unions
even more cuts to social safety net as means testing and privation of social security are on table
Militizan of police will continue
national security state will continue
Bi-partisan deals to benefit wall street at expense of 99% to continue

and have decided to oppose her for reasons that have nothing to do with policy.

The only one of those that she supports is a no-fly-zone, and clearly you don't know the issues involved if you think the result is war with Russia. That was Bernie's statement at the debate, and he was clearly in over his head on that particular subject.
