That leaves 22% undecided or other. I would think if one was going to support HRC they would have already committed. This is VERY promising!

The Bloomberg poll says HRC 37% - BS 30%. I don't know what ActBlue is referring to. -

He got something in the upper teens. If he is taken out of the mix, the higher percentages apply.

Although we shouldn't take either for granted.

It's the next flurry of primaries wherein the outcome remains to be seen. A lot of reddish territory. Not clear at this point if BS's message can or will get through to them.

They have to understand what he's talking about; and then it has to *resonate* with them.

I think their comprehension and resonating (sic) is pretty good. I assume that word will spread.

We might not speak up too much amongst anyone but ourselves, but a whole lot of us are for Bernie. Nobody is for Bush, and I've yet to hear a soul fired up by Clinton unless it is the "vote against her" Republican crowd.

and they all say that they have respect for Bernie. Well the ones who have heard his message. I live in the Hudson Valley, which, contrary to popular belief, has many conservatives. Those who have heard of Bernie, know that he has been saying the same thing for years, and working for it. They say that they may not be for everything that Bernie stands for, but they certainly do respect a person who sticks to his opinions and works for them. They also state correctly that Bernie is a straight shooter, and tells the truth. This truthfulness is something that has been missing in this country for a long time. Many also say that they would even vote for him on just these two points!
When Bernie gets the nomination, I KNOW that he shall win!
