PRESS RELEASE


Sanders Leads Clinton, Trounces Trump in New Poll



MARCH 24TH, 2016



SPOKANE, Wash. – Buoyed by a new national poll putting him ahead of Hillary Clinton and outpacing Republican White House hopefuls by big margins, Bernie Sanders returned here for a rally on Thursday two days ahead of contests in Washington, Alaska and Hawaii.

The new Bloomberg Politics national poll found that Sanders is now the first choice of 49 percent of those who already have voted or plan to vote in this year’s Democratic contests. The former secretary of state was the choice of 48 percent.

Looking ahead to November’s general election, Sanders was 24 points ahead of Republican front-runner Donald Trump. He outpolled U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas by 12 points and held a four-point lead over Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Clinton, in sharp contrast, lost to Kasich by four points and held much narrower leads than Sanders over Cruz and Trump.

The Bloomberg survey was only the latest in a string of polls putting Sanders way ahead of Trump and doing consistently better than Clinton against Trump and the other Republicans in a general election. According to RealClearPolitics, Sanders led Trump on average by 17.5 percentage points in national surveys in March. The U.S. senator from Vermont beat the real estate tycoon by 20 points in a CNN/ORC poll, 18 points in a poll for NBC News and The Wall Street Journal, 14 points in Fox News and Quinnipiac University polls and 15 points in a survey for CBS News and The New York Times.

Assessing the Democratic Party nomination contest, pollster J. Ann Selzer said Sanders “is the one Democrats see as looking out for them – meaning he will build a stronger middle class at the expense of Wall Street. They trust him to do it. In the end, Hillary Clinton has a trust problem.” The poll, for example, found Democratic primary voters by a better than 2-to-1 ratio said Sanders would fight harder than Clinton for the middle class and do the most to rein in the power of Wall Street. More than 60 percent said Sanders cares most about people like them and regard him as the most honest and trustworthy candidate. Only a quarter said that of Clinton.

The new poll came two days after Sanders won 21 more delegates than Clinton in three Western states on Tuesday.

In Idaho on Thursday, Sanders picked up endorsements from Democratic Party Chairman Bert Marley and Pete Gertonson, a national DNC committeeman. “Pent up frustrations of a red state exploded Idaho Caucuses to historic numbers last Tuesday with 78 percent for Bernie Sanders,” Gertonson said. “I’m proud to be an Idaho Democrat representing the people’s choice.” The new backing came in addition to 17 elected delegates Sanders picked up in Idaho.

1. Low number of people polled and Hillary is 2.5 million votes ahead. nt

[Segami]

2. LOL!

Great to see you're on the job with that canned response.

[Politicalboi]

14. It's ALL they have

They know Hillary is walking on thin ice.

[still_one]

3. Nice cherry picking of the national polls. Here is the full set of national polls, same time frame

Lets see, latest Pennsylvania poll, Hillary 53, Bernie 28.

Latest California poll, Hillary 48, Bernie 41.

Latest Wisconsin poll, Hillary 50, Bernie 44.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/wi/wisconsin_democratic_presidential_primary-3764.html

Presidential elections are determined by states, not by national polls, and for that reason national polls are flawed. However, since you are only pushing one particularly national poll, let me present the other national polls released in the same time frame to be fair

Latest National Polls:

Bloomberg:
Hillary 48, Bernie 49

Fox:
Hillary 55, Bernie 42

Quinnipiac:
Hillary 50, Bernie 38

Monmouth:
Hillary 55, Bernie 37

CBS News/NY Times:
Hillary 50, Bernie 45

CNN/ORC:
Hillary 55, Bernie 44

4. Too little too late for Bernie

Many of the delegates have already been allocated and Hillary is currently leading in states like NY, PA and CA.

With proportional allocation, it's safe to say the race is pretty much over.

It's time to turn to defeating the GOP in the general election.

[AZ Progressive]

5. Why can't Hillary seal the deal?

This is embarassing for her to say the least.

[6chars]

8. part of the reason she doesn't have enough delegates yet

is that not enough have even been elected so it was impossible.

[CalvinballPro]

6. 311 past or likely participants in Democratic nominating contests. Margin of error +/-5.6 pts

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

7. 1% is a statistic tie

Sanders' people should know that unless he has a bunch of rank amateurs running his campaign.

[redstateblues]

9. One problem. Bernie can't even win the nomination.

He's losing both in delegates and popular vote.

[Segami]

11. In case you haven't been paying attention,...

the electorate hates Hillary and a MAJORITY simply don't TRUST or BELIEVE whatever comes out of her mouth.

What a stellar candidate you are supporting to represent ALL of the people.


continue on....

[Cali_Democrat]

15. So if Hillary is so hated and Bernie is so loved,

Why is she leading Bernie by 2.5 million votes?

What does that say about Bernie?

[vkkv]

19. Hillary being hated and the lack of awareness of Bernie speaks voluimes about the

MAJOR PRESS and TeeVEE.

[tabasco]

21. Bill Clinton

The only reason this person has any notoriety at all.

Thanks for asking!

[giftedgirl77]

10. When your only "reliable" source is the campaign itself you

know you're fucked.

[Segami]

12. Whaaah.....oh, of course nothing!

[CalvinballPro]

13. There's also much more to the article than the blurb posted here.

The poll found some encouraging signs for Clinton as the Democratic race moves into its second half. She leads Sanders 50 percent to 47 percent among those yet to vote in a Democratic primary or caucus, an indication that her drive toward the Democratic nomination won’t be impeded. She has 1,690 of the 2,383 delegates needed to become the party’s nominee to the 946 that Sanders has amassed, according to Associated Press estimates on Wednesday.

17. Lol, there may be but that wasn't the point of this OP was it.

I must say this poster is much better at not trying to bury the true nature of their bias they blast it out there for all to see.

[Segami]

20. 'Lol giggle fail'......

Nice try but keep your day job because comedy is not your bag........( Oh....this little guy is for me)


but, like always........carry on...

[Stallion]

24. How is that a Fail-he's using the exact same data as the Poll Sanders Supporters are Citing

Sanders is behind by 3% points in states that have yet to vote.

[Stallion]

16. For all Practical Purposes Clinton Leads in This Poll Too +3

Thanks you saved me some time

[vkkv]

18. Voters are FINALLY waking up! eom

[GreydeeThos]

22. Bernie Sanders is BEHIND Hillary Clinton by 303 delegates

Polls don't win; delegates do.

[Tarc]

23. Once again, Sanders supporters do not fully delve into the math

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2016_democratic_presidential_nomination-3824.html

RCP Average 3/16 - 3/22 -- -- 51.5 42.5 Clinton +9.0
Bloomberg 3/19 - 3/22 311 LV 5.6 48 49 Sanders +1
FOX News 3/20 - 3/22 410 LV 5.0 55 42 Clinton +13
Quinnipiac 3/16 - 3/21 635 RV 3.9 50 38 Clinton +12
Monmouth 3/17 - 3/20 391 RV 5.0 55 37 Clinton +18
CBS News/NY Times 3/17 - 3/20 388 LV 6.0 50 45 Clinton +5
CNN/ORC 3/17 - 3/20 397 RV 5.0 51 44 Clinton +7

So the Sanders camp cherry-picks the sole poll that has Sanders up, and it is only +1 which as any Intro to Statistics class will tell you, is like likely a tie, and looky here;

Democrats Evenly Split Over Clinton, Sanders in Bloomberg Poll

The national poll of 1,000 adults was conducted March 19-22 by Selzer & Co. of West Des Moines, Iowa. The overall sample has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, while the subgroup of 311 Democratic primary voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 5.6 percentage points. The subgroup of 815 likely general-election voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.

Not only does the title debunk their claim, but also the numbers.

Math; it has a well-known Hillary bias.
