1. Not the most interesting poll

Dated 1/31 to 2/9.

The head-to-heads are pretty close though which is promising.

3. So Bernie's doing pretty good in Texas?

5. Pretty good? It was inevitable Bernie would rise in the polls & pass Joe on his way down.

It usually comes down to the battle of ideas and Bernie just has the superior plan and vision... an aggressive progressive agenda for change that the working middle class and low-income voters could get behind, while Joe's moderate incrementalism approach just doesn't excite and motivate voters the same way.

It's not a knock on Joe personally - he's a fine guy - he just doesn't have the same honed political skills as Bernie and the ability to connect on a personal level with average folks the way Bernie does.


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

9. In a recent national poll he got 48% support with Hispanic voters

So that's good for him in TX.

30% among Black voters, too.

4. The article notes that the poll was an Internet survey of registered voters.

The margin of error was 4.09%. With two more debates, the Nevada caucus, and the South Carolina primary a lot can change.

6. Internet survey

7. "Internet survey" doesn't mean what it did years ago.

538 ranks this one B/C, though others rate as high as A/B (and some do rate as low as F).

8. Your point?

This doesn't mean it was a poll on a website that anyone could click on.

10. Internet survey n/t
