Bernie and Arizona

[octoberlib]

Hillary Clinton is dominating the Democratic field in Arizona with 58% to 16% for Bernie Sanders, 5% each for Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb, and 4% for Martin O'Malley. There are several positives for Sanders in this poll, at least relative to the non-Clinton candidates. Following his announcement last week he has 57% name recognition (and a 44/13 favorability rating) compared to 32% for O'Malley, 30% for Webb, and 29% for Chafee. And he is the most common second choice among Democratic voters- a total of 35% say he is their first or second choice with none of the others adding up to more than 10% on those two questions. Clinton's dominance still makes Sanders decidedly second tier, but he's at least at the top of that second tiier.

Yes, Hillary is still the favorite but I think this is encouraging.

2. Chip, chip, chip away. Chip, chip, thwok.

Fantastic favorability ratings.

People will like him when they get to know him.

3. After only one week, I can live with those numbers.

His campaign is just starting. I expect this will change radically over the coming months.

I live in Arizona, and literally everyone I am talking to are talking about Sanders.

4. Awesome news!

5. +1 She's been campaigning since 2000, if not sooner and has big money.

This is more than encouraging for all of a week and average donations of $40.
