Highlight:

Hillary's Huge Lead Among Black Millennials [View all] bigtree Feb 2016 OP

Original title: National poll: Sanders closing the gap with Clinton Jefferson23 Feb 2016 #1

that's not what I wanted to highlight bigtree Feb 2016 #2

Here is the graphic. I am not remotely surprised. The data confirms the eye test, i.e, what I see... DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #5

If you total those, Bernie is at floriduck Feb 2016 #52

Huh DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #54

I pointed out what the original OP title is, my prerogative. n/t Jefferson23 Feb 2016 #6

And closing it very fast! basselope Feb 2016 #4

We're working hard for Bernie and will continue to close enough gaps to win, yep. n/t Jefferson23 Feb 2016 #7

Not fast enough for end of primary uponit7771 Feb 2016 #18

That remains to be seen, there is definitely work to do, no one denies that, not that I'm Jefferson23 Feb 2016 #21

If he comes within 10 points that is a massive loss for Clinton basselope Feb 2016 #82

You conveniently left out this part: jillan Feb 2016 #3

why this result matters bigtree Feb 2016 #9

What color is my skin? Do you even have a clue? That's my point. jillan Feb 2016 #35

skin color aside bigtree Feb 2016 #40

Do you think this post could be offensive? How is stating facts offensive? tia uponit7771 Feb 2016 #19

More and more it looks like some former O'Malley supporters were running a ruse Fumesucker Feb 2016 #8

O'Malley's no longer in this race. Am I just supposed to fold into your camp bigtree Feb 2016 #11

I found yet another frantic 2016 Hillary supporter today who equally trashed her in 2008... Fumesucker Feb 2016 #14

go argue that with that supporter bigtree Feb 2016 #20

Two questions, please. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #23

oHoooHH Myyyyy! MrMickeysMom Feb 2016 #69

+1. Well stated. Eom. 1StrongBlackMan Feb 2016 #80

Total f'ing nonsense. FSogol Feb 2016 #59

That is a NATIONAL poll. n/t Skwmom Feb 2016 #10

Yep -- polling in SC shows quite another tale. Whistling past the graveyard...n/t JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #79

So as a supporter of Bernie Sanders, what takeaway should I be taking from this fact? el_bryanto Feb 2016 #12

did you bother to read the thread? bigtree Feb 2016 #13

So it's basically an argument that Hillary will win because she has the Black Millennials vote? el_bryanto Feb 2016 #24

so you didn't read bigtree Feb 2016 #26

So it's more a commentary on Sanders lack of appeal for black millennials? el_bryanto Feb 2016 #30

it's a specific observation and I'm relating it to the upcoming races bigtree Feb 2016 #41

black millenials have to worry about their future 6chars Feb 2016 #46

Yes - that's certainly true. But don't most people? nt el_bryanto Feb 2016 #48

some less so 6chars Feb 2016 #51

Ah - I guess I'm not sure I understand - are you saying that White Millennials who support el_bryanto Feb 2016 #55

That the black vote is critical to upcoming primaries hack89 Feb 2016 #17

Your logic is faulty Matt_in_STL Feb 2016 #27

Not black millennials - black voters hack89 Feb 2016 #44

No, your logic is faulty lunamagica Feb 2016 #64

The post is regarding millenials Matt_in_STL Feb 2016 #70

Yes, but you talked as if they by themselves would decide the election. They do not lunamagica Feb 2016 #71

No, not at all Matt_in_STL Feb 2016 #74

OK lunamagica Feb 2016 #76

And? Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2016 #15

this is an area where the Sanders campaign is behind the Clinton effort bigtree Feb 2016 #22

Is it as relevant to you as the progressive bloc? The overall millenial bloc? The Independent Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2016 #25

it's all relevant to me bigtree Feb 2016 #29

I don't have a problem with the stats. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2016 #34

you have no standing to believe I have some wrong motive in posting this bigtree Feb 2016 #42

What smear? Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2016 #60

yet not accepting my answers bigtree Feb 2016 #61

My motivation is to disagree with your perception with your interpretation of the statistics. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2016 #65

I don't believe that bigtree Feb 2016 #66

Good. Neither do I. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2016 #68

Boom goes the dynamite !!! So Sanders coalition is almost all white!!!! uponit7771 Feb 2016 #16

And Hillary's is almost all black Matt_in_STL Feb 2016 #28

race is important in this case bigtree Feb 2016 #31

No its not but its funny how the establishment is supporting the anti establishment candidate uponit7771 Feb 2016 #32

Also, Sanders injected race into with Bigga (Obama is a master) and West (Obama is n-word-izzed) uponit7771 Feb 2016 #36

By accepting endorsements from prominent black figures he brought race into the primary? Matt_in_STL Feb 2016 #43

That is incorrect DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #37

Talking about the millenials as shown in the article and the graph above Matt_in_STL Feb 2016 #45

I don't believe this at all DemocraticSocialist8 Feb 2016 #33

Sanders lost IA PoC by 25% after he spent 3 months there so I don't think this assessment is uponit7771 Feb 2016 #38

As a purely statistical matter tularetom Feb 2016 #39

The OP is illuminating the point that Sanders coalition is nearly all white which to me is salient uponit7771 Feb 2016 #47

Good luck with that in the general election tularetom Feb 2016 #56

You are missing a key point. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #49

And, not to put too fine a point on it ... 1StrongBlackMan Feb 2016 #81

Nice to see some young folks have some sense. Thank you for posting. K & R nt Persondem Feb 2016 #50

Thanks for the post, BlueMTexpat Feb 2016 #53

This data is a bombshell imho... it intimates Sanders coalition is mostly white males and ticked off uponit7771 Feb 2016 #63

And her lead is only because of name recognition... hoosierlib Feb 2016 #58

People who seek change but vote status quo Prism Feb 2016 #62

'status quo' bigtree Feb 2016 #67

It's very simple Prism Feb 2016 #72

Then explain this: Motown_Johnny Feb 2016 #73

so you believe she has no black supporters as Reid suggests? bigtree Feb 2016 #75

I believe she has less than the campaign claims. Motown_Johnny Feb 2016 #77

And explain this (guess you missed it) kath Feb 2016 #78

there's a diversity of opinion among black voters bigtree Feb 2016 #83
