The List Grows - Real Clear Politics poll results

[CajunBlazer]

Attorney in Texas' recent OP - "The list grows! Sanders leads Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, West Virginia, Vermont, and is..,." which reported a list of state polls. The results shown for some of those polls because they seemed to be different from those which I had scene. So I went to what I consider the the authoritative source for polls that which inspire a high level of confidence (RealClearPolitics.com).

I looked up the same polls reported by the Attorney on the RCP website and found some differences in the reported results. I have copied below the Attorneys reported poll results (in regular font followed by the RealClearPolitics reported polls in bold font (Where applicable the date of the reported poll(s) is provided.) Note there are differences:

Alaska - (Sanders 48%, Clinton 34%) RCP 1/12 Clinton 44 Sanders 41

Colorado - (Sanders 49%, Clinton 43%) RCP: No recent recognized polls

Maine - (Sanders 56%, Clinton 41%) RCP: No recent recognized polls

Massachusetts - (Sanders 47.5%, Clinton 44%) RCP: Same for two recent polls

Minnesota - (Sanders 59% chance, Clinton 41% chance) RCP: 1/20 Clinton 59 Sanders 25

Missouri - (Clinton 47%, Sanders 42%) RCP: No recent recognized polls

Oklahoma - (Clinton 46%, Sanders 44%) RCP: 2 polls 2/9, 2/16: Clinton 43.7 Sanders 29.3

Vermont - (Sanders 83%, Clinton 9%) RCP: 2/16 Sanders 86 Clinton 10

West Virginia - (Sanders 57%, Clinton 29%) RCP: Same for a recent poll

Wisconsin - (Clinton 45%, Sanders 43.5%) RCP: 1/24 Clinton 45 Sanders 43

7. And the Corporate Networks are saying NV was

just a devastating loss for Sanders but his NH victory all we heard was about Hillary's Delegate Count.
Fact is Hillary is is not well organized in the Super Tuesday States and beyond because she/her campaign never expected a fight at this point ...







GO BERNIE !!!!

10. Dream on!

You're totally misinformed.

The Clinton campaign is active here in Alabama manning phone banks, ensuring votes can get to the polls, etc. The are also running a TV ad campaign. It is the Sanders campaign which is yet to be heard from in this state.

The effort here mimics the Clinton campaign effort in all the March 1st primary states. Sanders's campaign has virtually abandoned all of the Southern states to Clinton knowing there is no way he can win here and is concentrating their efforts in states where they think they might have a chance like Oklahoma and Minnesota.

9. So according to this, at this moment in time, Bernie is winning in 7/10 states &

they tell us he needs to drop out right now?



Let's hope this trend continues all the way to super tuesday!!

[CajunBlazer]

11. How about Bernie is winning in 7 states out of 50

[firebrand80]

12. We could also talk about the number of delegates at stake

In the States Hillary is ahead in vs. the ones Bernie is ahead in

[CajunBlazer]

13. Let's not, that might be depressing for some folks.

[BlueCaliDem]

17. Don't! You'll make'em cry! eom

15. The Alaska poll was done by an Alaskan pollster

whom I trust more than Real Clear Politics, not to mention the fact that I have many Democratic and independent friends here who support Bernie, only a couple I can think of who support Hillary. Anecdotal, I know, and I could be wrong, but Clintons have never been very popular here.

Looking at this closer, it seems that you've posted a "Democrats only" results here when the independents, who can vote in our caucus by simply changing their registration ON CAUCUS DAY to Democrat, overwhelmingly favor Sanders. When you include Democrats and "no registered party," Sanders wins by 14 points. I know many independents who are planning to caucus for Bernie.

22. Real Clear Politics isn't a pollster. They just accumulate poll results and aggregate them./nt

[Blue_In_AK]

23. It does seem that they are only reporting the Democratics-only poll result

in any event, which in Alaska's case is largely irrelevant for the reason I stated.

But as someone else just told me, Alaska has so few delegates we shouldn't be counted anyway, so I'll just shut up now.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. Everybody counts. Wasn't nice what was said to you./nt

19. Thanks CajunBlazer.
