It may not be scientific but 80% of the people I've run into are for Bernie

I've had people ask where I got my Texans For Bernie bumper sticker in parking lots. Just about everyone brings up the fact they are tired of the same old BS by the DNC leadership who doesn't seem to care about the people only the big money.
I don't normally bring up politics with strangers but when they come to me after seeing all the stickers on my truck and pretty much say the same thing about how the corporations run everything you realize there's a lot of dissatisfaction with things as they are..

I drive a lot for work and typically see 3-4 Bernie stickers per day. I see MAYBE 2 Hillary stickers per MONTH.
This is big labor country. This is Bernie country.

that company. Almost all of them support Bernie. They are all well aware of Bernie's call for a single payer system and what that would likely mean for for-profit insurance companies, yet they still love Bernie! That kind of support tells me that Bernie will likely win the nomination.
