....that weighs most recent polls more than those from months ago.

Each individual pollster has their own methodology, but for the most part the poll democrats for democratic primary polls.

Here's a link to the page that has this compilation (I should have included it in the OP, I've added it there)

especially considering his lower level of name recognition and that he won't be running T.V. ads until the first part of November, Hillary has been running them since August and she has much higher name recognition.

Furthermore the state races in Iowa and New Hampshire can greatly effect national polls and Bernie is already much more competitive in those states, despite the obstacles which I listed in my first paragraph.

Thanks for the thread, George II.
