About that new NBC poll

Lol, and when they poll at the country club, they forget the workers can vote, or that if asked they might just be "yessing" them. You can't just dismiss younger voters, and those you can't easily reach, in a meaningful poll of such an important election.

All polling forces a response. Clinton is much more well known than Sanders. She'll be the likely pick of people who don't hate her, but don't know all that much about Sanders.

The polling is still much about name recognition, at this early stage. Which is not to say that the Sanders campaign doesn't need to get its message out, and become known. The good news is that Sanders doesn't have Clinton's incredibly bad negative numbers. And going by how people in Iowa have reacted to him, when people do learn about him, his negatives don't go up.

That's very promising in terms of the Sanders campaign extending itself as it goes forward.
