So if Sanders at 35% is accurate, that means he slipped 12 points from 2016. SunSeeker Feb 2020 #6

well, no. in point of fact -- it isn't. (nt) stopdiggin Feb 2020 #8

Why hasn't he hit 50% in NV with his name recognition alone? SunSeeker Feb 2020 #10

Spare us that tired argument Polybius Feb 2020 #9

Why "of course"? He ran in the Dem caucus there just 4 years ago. SunSeeker Feb 2020 #12

It's unrealistic to think that he'd have the same numbers. tecelote Feb 2020 #14

I'm not the one grasping at straws. SunSeeker Feb 2020 #22

Hillary had around 52% Polybius Feb 2020 #15

With 60% of the vote in, Sanders has 46% of the vote Polybius Feb 2020 #29

LOL. Sanders got 47.29% in NV in 2016. He slipped even in NV. SunSeeker Feb 2020 #30

1% is basically identical Polybius Feb 2020 #31

1% is all Trump needs to win. Hell, he did it on less than that. SunSeeker Feb 2020 #34

See, now that he tied 2016 with 47%, it's "why didn't he build on 2016?" Polybius Feb 2020 #37

Are you serious with that messed up logic? Bonobo Feb 2020 #39

No he didn't. squirecam Feb 2020 #38

You were right, they were way off. Bumperstickers Feb 2020 #32

Reading is fundamental. I never said they were way off, I said they had a political agenda, and was still_one Feb 2020 #33

The reply was meant to another post sorry. Bumperstickers Feb 2020 #35

Everything is fine. We are just discussing our differences, and that is a good thing still_one Feb 2020 #36

Never go by just 1 poll. Look at an aggregate. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #21
