Bernie Sanders
In reply to the discussion: Wisconsin Dem. Convention straw poll: Clinton 49%, Sanders 40%, Biden 3%, O'Malley 3% [View all]Adrahil

Polls are not an exact science, of course, but the better ones tend to do fairly well, and allow for fairly accurate predictions.
Of course, we're a a long way from any meaningful vote, but if you're pinning your hopes for Bernie on polls all being full of crap....
Well, just prepare to be disappointed is all I'm saying.
Having said that, I would LOVE for the primary to be legitimately contested.

This means many Democrats are LISTENING to Bernie. That is one of the big goals he must achieve.

Yes Manny, more consultants to tell Hillary what to think & say - thats the ticket! Imagine if Elizabeth had jumped in the race...

We need to get the word out on Bernie. Obviously he would swamp Hillary if the truth was out.

Surprised the headline isn't "Over Half of Wisconsin Dems Reject Hillary".
