2. Why are Hillary's numbers plummeting so fast? Why is she losing key demographics

Sun Oct 4, 2015, 10:51 PM

Oct 2015

such as women voters? Why is Sanders beating her in NH and Iowa considering how little name recognition he has?

Why are so many previously non-voters, signing up as Dems to vote for him?

He is only ten points behind a candidate who just months ago was considered to be unbeatable in a Dem Primary.

National polls, which don't include the soon to be newly registered Dems in closed Primary states, or those supporters who will wait until the GE to register as Dems, are showing she is trending down each and every month, while he continues to trend upwards even with Dems?

Explain how, just months ago people such as yourself eg, dismissed him completely, but now feel threatened enough by him to focus almost exclusively on HIS campaign rather than promote your own candidate?

Yes, they do. It explains all the disappointing votes coming from Dems, see the defunding of ACORN sabrina 1 Oct 2015 #52

It amounts to a corporate takeover of the Democratic party. Puzzledtraveller Oct 2015 #54

Yes it does. That's why the Dem Party has lost 10% of its registered voters since 2008 sabrina 1 Oct 2015 #63
