Data from Indiana Shows Sanders Losing Badly with Inaccurate Psychics

As Hillary notches her 18th Second Place finish of the 2016 primaries, doubts surround the ability of Bernie Sanders to win over the inaccurate psychics vote. Data shows that Inaccurate Psychics favor Hillary Clinton over Sanders by a high margin, almost 8 to 1. The number of inaccurate psychics has grown sharply in the last 24 hours and winning these voters over may be difficult for Sanders.

The prognosticators at 538 gave Hillary and 91% chance of winning Indiana. Their inaccuracy is as strong as their support for the front runner.

Sanders also performed poorly among those who ignored exit polls all day long and among MSM personalities who are paid to insert the phrase "but Clinton is still ahead in the delegate count" into every sentence about a Sanders win.

If you play poker please invite me. I could use the money.

White women represented 43 percent of Indiana Democrats, up from an average of 34 percent in prior primaries. Fifty-six percent of white women voted for Bernie Sanders, a 12-point gain from previous primaries.


http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/indiana-exit-poll-more-white-women-younger-voters-liberals-deliver-n567501

The boost came from female voters, a longtime Clinton stronghold. The former secretary of state’s support among women dropped by 11 points, while Sanders’ showing jumped by 9 points.

Clinton support Among Non-white Voters has collapsed

Public Policy Polling, a widely respected polling organization, released a poll showing that Sanders leads Clinton among African-American voters in Wisconsin by 11 points.

It’s all part of a dramatic national trend that has seen Clinton’s support among nonwhite voters dwindle to well under a third of what it was just a month ago — not nearly enough support to carry her, as it did throughout the Deep South, to future electoral victories in the Midwest and Northeast.

picking old news from HuffPo- is pretty dishonest- how long ago was Wisconsin? LOL. Nope- Hillary's number are improving where they matter. Hillary vs Trump. Anything else is irrelevant.

in order to win the GE. Blue state dems are great, but they'll vote dem all the time. Bernie will bring in swing state indies by a MUCH HIGHER margin than Hillary will. That's a fact.

I guess he'll have to stand in line at the Clinton foundation to get an appointment with them. I'm sure the coronated one or her husband can get that set up for a small fee...say, 3 installments of $600,000 for speeches.

If either win it is a loss for the non-elite. Sanders getting this far shows OWS and such are still going strong, we need to keep the momentum going forward.

have a 100% accuracy record in foretelling any and all past events...

which, while portending absolutely nothing concerning the future, gives them great comfort which they then share with a certain group of followers....

it is noted, however, that they don't look further back than 2009...and in fact, many tend to only concentrate on the last 12 months...

also, the mirror has certain clarity problems between 1992 and 2000...
