Second debate bump? He did do well. Hortensis Nov 2015 #1

The gap is narrowing! Helen Borg Nov 2015 #2

Let's look at the gap... brooklynite Nov 2015 #3

niiiiiiiiine ellllllven azurnoir Nov 2015 #7

Gaps before Biden decides against running = 45%, 22%, 24%, 12%, 14%. Gaps after Biden = 20%, 16% Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #8

Biden withdrew on October 21, Webb withdrew on October 20.... George II Nov 2015 #40

That was the sympathy reaction to the Benghazi hearings that gave Hillary a boost. JDPriestly Nov 2015 #58

If it was a "sympathy reaction", why did Sanders' number go down as well as hers up? George II Nov 2015 #80

The asterisks for the withdrawal of Biden and Webb are missing from your numbers. JDPriestly Nov 2015 #90

Thanks - I originally had all the events lumped together, then broke them up around the dates.... George II Nov 2015 #92

As I explained in another post, the polls do not measure the enthusiasm that makes the difference. JDPriestly Nov 2015 #93

Opps liberal N proud Nov 2015 #26

Clinton got a sympathy boost after the Benghazi hearing, and now we are back to Bernie JDPriestly Nov 2015 #56

True! Duval Nov 2015 #63

A Sanders win Helen Borg Nov 2015 #127

Yup, it just keeps narrowing. Nitram Nov 2015 #126

At this rate, he will catch up with Hillary two years after she wins Iowa in 10 weeks. nt onehandle Nov 2015 #4

yup, just like Obama in '08 corkhead Nov 2015 #9

There is no Obama, this time around. nt onehandle Nov 2015 #11

Sadly there's no FDR either. corkhead Nov 2015 #12

'08 didn't have any Bernie Sanders, either... tex-wyo-dem Nov 2015 #35

Yes it did. OilemFirchen Nov 2015 #50

Kuch was my first choice in '08... tex-wyo-dem Nov 2015 #64

Ex post facto. OilemFirchen Nov 2015 #69

No it didn't. Bubzer Nov 2015 #65

Not to fear, there is still a Hillary. n/t A Simple Game Nov 2015 #71

Q: Who said “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”? A: Not Hillary Clinton Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #14

Based on that growth, he'll be at 45% after Super Tuesday...still behind. brooklynite Nov 2015 #5

I try to ignore these unnecessary barbs, ejbr Nov 2015 #18

I'm not trying to convince you at all... brooklynite Nov 2015 #23

But Clinton is consistantly not preferred on DU That Guy 888 Nov 2015 #25

Clinton is also consistently not prefered with liberal pundits. But media and GOP pundits love her. Bubzer Nov 2015 #48

Well to be fair, Stephanie Miller does support Hillary That Guy 888 Nov 2015 #57

Really? Last time listened to her show, she was heavily talking up Bernie sanders. Bubzer Nov 2015 #61

I think she was trying to make amends with Bernie Sanders supporters That Guy 888 Nov 2015 #77

The Brunch with Bernie segments seem to be happening infrequently now... which is understandable. Bubzer Nov 2015 #88

And yet, when I go out and talk to voters as I campaign for Bernie, I see no enthusiastic JDPriestly Nov 2015 #62

In that case, you have nothing to worry about... brooklynite Nov 2015 #74

Again ejbr Nov 2015 #73

Ah, to live in a linear world... tex-wyo-dem Nov 2015 #36

But if he gains, it is likely that she will lose an equal amount. So . . . . . . JDPriestly Nov 2015 #59

Hey, 18-29... Earth_First Nov 2015 #6

while it good i don't live by polls Robbins Nov 2015 #10

I never focus on one poll...I look at the trend line brooklynite Nov 2015 #13

Clinton's polling trend line looks worse than it did in 2007; Sanders' looks better than Obama 2007. Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #15

Take a close look at the chart... brooklynite Nov 2015 #16

As has been pointed out, Sanders does not have the resources of Barack Obama... brooklynite Nov 2015 #39

A more valid argument is Hillary has paid for numerous polls, so of course they will favor her. Bubzer Nov 2015 #54

Good point Buzber... tex-wyo-dem Nov 2015 #66

I self deleted the last post, but the meme... tex-wyo-dem Nov 2015 #55

this. navarth Nov 2015 #22

Agreed. Shadowflash Nov 2015 #27

What does True Blue mean? okasha Nov 2015 #67

In my experience it has meant this: navarth Nov 2015 #70

Like I said, an advertising slogan. okasha Nov 2015 #75

Ah I see. navarth Nov 2015 #91

Odd, though, that one of those slogans okasha Nov 2015 #98

Sorry, I didn't quite follow what you said. navarth Nov 2015 #100

Exactly my own position Trajan Nov 2015 #28

HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!! WillyT Nov 2015 #19

So, what is shows is no statistically significant change from 10-13-15 til now Tarc Nov 2015 #21

Nice try! It suggests Sanders eclipsed the huge bump Clinton got when Biden decided against running Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #24

How does one "eclipse" something by remaining stagnant? Tarc Nov 2015 #29

Bernie up 3% points in two weeks .. Clinton is down 1% Trajan Nov 2015 #30

I don't mean to sound snarky, but Tarc Nov 2015 #31

If you wanna go with feeling over math, be my guest Tarc Nov 2015 #32

That's ok ... Get it out .... Trajan Nov 2015 #33

Trajan, you sound petulant and defensive. Nitram Nov 2015 #44

Bernie can't lose! Powers Hapgood Nov 2015 #37

You heard it here first folks... brooklynite Nov 2015 #41

I hope you read my post carefully. Powers Hapgood Nov 2015 #72

He's doing better than Obama was at this point. fbc Nov 2015 #42

Let me get this straight. Do polls matter or not? Nitram Nov 2015 #43

they may still be flawed Robbins Nov 2015 #49

But if he wins, this means the Bernistas are right. immoderate Nov 2015 #101

If Nitram Nov 2015 #107

This can't be true coyote Nov 2015 #45

Right here, Coyote. Nitram Nov 2015 #51

Where are Clinton's numbers dropping? brooklynite Nov 2015 #53

A bit of wisdom . . . Powers Hapgood Nov 2015 #76

Woot! K&R & Huzza! -nt- 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #47

I got a purty color picture of all the polls. yallerdawg Nov 2015 #52

You should add "Blue/Green stripe" - Even. DCBob Nov 2015 #81

Both of the recent changes could just be noise karynnj Nov 2015 #60

Any single data point might be just "noise," but Clinton consistently polled in the upper 60s for Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #79

Both those graphs show things looking good for Hillary. DCBob Nov 2015 #87

Yes, they do. Not NEARLY as good as they looked for Hillary Clinton in 2007, but still quite good Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #99

Wow, some of you guys are really banking on history repeating itself. DCBob Nov 2015 #102

Not at all. I fear history is repeating itself. Clinton's the front-runner; Sanders the underdog. Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #103

Of course Hillary didn't lose the general election.. she wasnt in it. There is no history there. DCBob Nov 2015 #104

No she didn't lose the general election because her collapse came just in time for us to nominate Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #105

Now you are making up history. DCBob Nov 2015 #112

She folded like a cheap card table, but feel free to spin whatever revisionist tales you want to Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #114

Its a fact, if not for the caucus states she would have won. DCBob Nov 2015 #116

So ... "but for the democratic process, she would have been crowned in 2008?" But for Ronald Reagan Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #117

So... as i said she nearly won. DCBob Nov 2015 #118

Rick Santorum keeps saying that, too. Literally, if you were doomed to listen to his stump speeches, Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #120

Here's something to refresh your memory.. DCBob Nov 2015 #121

The Santorum campaign hands out similar graphs Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #122

Now you are totally not making any sense. DCBob Nov 2015 #123

What???!!! Too Old For B.S. Nov 2015 #68

People get more conservative as they get older I guess. fbc Nov 2015 #84

Yes, but.... Too Old For B.S. Nov 2015 #113

Because she's one of us in a pantsuit. Nitram Nov 2015 #95

Consider that Bernie is the first feasible candidate in generations who is not a Reaganite. immoderate Nov 2015 #109

Kerry was a Reaganite? Gore? Jerry Brown? George McGovern? Ted Kennedy? Nitram Nov 2015 #124

You got me. But it's close. McGovern is timed out of there. But was he feasible? (Really loved him.) immoderate Nov 2015 #128

Well.... Too Old For B.S. Nov 2015 #115

There you go again. Nitram Nov 2015 #125

It's happening fbc Nov 2015 #78

yes, steady progress for Hillary -- Sept 17 to Nov 15: Clinton +8 Sanders +4 DCBob Nov 2015 #82

And, since April, Hillary down 1 point, Sanders up 28 points fbc Nov 2015 #83

Hillary is showing amazing consistency at around 50%. DCBob Nov 2015 #85

But can 50% be maintained once the elections start? fbc Nov 2015 #86

Well, yes but Iowa looks like a big win for Hillary.. unless you think the polls are bogus. DCBob Nov 2015 #89

Amazing how far you can go up when you start so low... Nitram Nov 2015 #96

Just 2 months from now. Major Hogwash Nov 2015 #94

May the best candidate win! Nitram Nov 2015 #97

good news, and still plenty of time to close the gap. nt restorefreedom Nov 2015 #106

Definitely plenty of time. In past primaries, they lead has flipped back and forth multiple times in Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #108

Funny how it's not happening this time... brooklynite Nov 2015 #110

Usually happens in December or January or February. Be patient, grasshopper, and watch it unfold Attorney in Texas Nov 2015 #111
