1. National polls mean little, Save 1 swing state Trump beat's Sanders or is within MOE. We no longer

... have democratically elected republican presidents so national polling means nothing

[Hassin Bin Sober]

2. Wow. I can't believe biden is below Bloomberg.

[JudyM]

3. Right, that's disturbing.

[jimfields33]

4. That to me is a cryin shame

He’s the worst for so many reasons. I especially can’t get over the fact they are supporting a guy who gave us Bush II!!!!!

[wiley]

5. Should Read Bloomberg surges, Warren, Klobuchar and BIden fall off the cliff

What's with the Bloomberg hysteria anyway?

[zentrum]

6. Good news.

[pnwmom]

7. This is an ONLINE poll, rated as C+ in reliability by 538.

Why does anyone take polls like this seriously?

I know why someone pushing an agenda would . . . but I don't know why anyone else would get worked up over this poll.

9. True, but also Bloomberg and Steyer have helped fragment the non-Sanders

voting block which has probably helped Sanders more than anything else

[rockfordfile]

10. True. The same for gallup crap and CBS crap

16. The HarrisX poll is an online poll. To evaluate polls you need to know

how they drew their sample and how they conducted it.

[Celerity]

19. The HarrisX poll (which is owned by detestable Trump shill Mark Penn) was always a Biden favourite

as he utterly dominated it for well nigh a year or so. The fact he has crashed down so far in it is very problematic for his campaign. Yes, it is a national poll, but given that Super Tuesday is a microcosm of the nation, it is not welcome news for him I would wager. He needs a BIG SC win to propel him into Super Tuesday with some momentum.

8. I think the Sanders campaign should thank Bloomberg for this

[rwheeler31]

11. They are not just polling Democrats,

Republicans are all answering Sanders, and the media is anointing him. I hope it can be turned around.

[Celerity]

23. no, the Dem Primary question is only asked of Dems and Dem-leaning independents

[jmg257]

12. Its getting late early.

[ChubbyStar]

13. Nobody goes there anymore

it's too crowded!

[jmg257]

14. Hi Chubby! LOVE that line!

[ChubbyStar]

17. Me too baby!

Sounds a bit like Sanders bashers. "But what about the combined totals of other candidates" yeah right tell that to the winner of the beauty pageant when # 2,3,4 claim their total beauty outshines the winner, "combined we are prettier. " Sorry, it just does not work like that. It is fucking nonsense.

15. it's mark penn. what did you expect?

worse than useless.

18. Bloomberg is going to force a brokered convention

The moderate Biden/Buttigieg/Klobuchar faction likely would have coalesced behind a single candidate after Super Tuesday. But Bloomberg is going to keep it divided right up till the end.

[Nanjeanne]

20. I agree except the "moderate" part since Sanders is the 2nd choice of majority

of Biden supporters according to polls. But Bloomberg is definitely taking votes from. Idem, Pete and Klobuchar. He really should be their target. Going after a Ernie makes no sense since most Sanders supporters aren’t going anywhere.

I do think if Bloomberg were gone it would come down to Biden and Bernie.

Plus I could vote for any of them except Mike.

[Azathoth]

21. I seriously doubt many of those "Sanders is my 2nd" folks would actually vote for him

Sanders is likeable and is unabashed about positions that many Dems are sympathetic to even though they know them to be electoral suicide. He's a nice "what if" candidate, but not the guy many Dems think is best equipped to take down Trump.

If Bloomberg wasn't here and Biden imploded on Super Tuesday, I'd predict the bulk of Biden supporters would make their peace with Klobuchar or Buttigieg, with only a minority going to Bernie.

[Nanjeanne]

22. Oh. Ok. You probably know them better.

[Azathoth]

24. I could be wrong. But I'm pretty sure much of the opposition to Bernie is tactical

rather than ideological. It's not that moderate Dems don't want some things like M4A, it's that they don't think Bernie can win. That likely wouldn't change if Biden crashed.

[Nanjeanne]

25. We will see. Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

[Celerity]

26. this describes me (and I detest the elements in his campaign who constantly trash our Party and push

outright lies about the other candidates (such as the lie about Pete funding the Iowa app or the lie about Pete's campaign being run by Zuckerberg.)

[MFM008]

27. Changes nothing for me
