New Reuters Poll Shows Bernie Sanders Taking National Lead

Source: US Uncut

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll released Thursday shows Bernie Sanders beating Hillary Clinton by one point with registered Democratic voters.

The survey of 1,680 registered voters, 635 of whom identified as Democrats, was conducted between April 9 and April 13. Among all Democrats and Democratic-leaning independent voters, Bernie Sanders leads Hillary Clinton by a 47-42 margin, with 11 percent of respondents saying they wouldn’t vote for either candidate. Sanders beats Clinton by a narrow margin of 49-48 among registered Democrats, and he demolishes Clinton by 16 points among self-identified independents. The poll’s margin of error is 2.7 percent.

Among all respondents, 36 percent identify as Democrats, 28 percent affiliate with the Republican Party, and 12 percent listed themselves as independents, with 9 percent leaning toward Democrats, 5 percent toward Republican, and 7 percent favoring a third party. Finally, only 2 percent of those surveyed said they were unsure of their party affiliation.

This latest poll is the third to show Sanders leading Clinton this month. A poll conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute and the Atlantic between March 30 and April 3 showed Sanders beating Clinton by one point, along with a McClatchy/Marist poll conducted between March 29 and March 31 that had Sanders up by two points.

The article still doesn't match the numbers at your link when filtered to registered Democrats. Clinton leads 55.4% to 42.3% amongst registered Democrats.

It would be more interesting if there was a filter for states that haven't already been decided. Polling people who can no longer vote for their primary choice doesn't make any sense. Sanders needs to outperform Clinton by a not insignificant margin in the remaining contests just to pull even, much less getting a lead, in pledged delegates. And without a lead, the "superdelegates don't count" meme vanishes like a fart in the breeze.

Who creates these slanted stories, and gets the Sanders supporters all excited, only to dash their hopes so decisively?

If I had to guess, I'd say the GOP. This kind of shit has Karl Rove written all over it.

All it does is make them feel stupid and foolish. It's just mean. That US UNCUT (what a pervy sounding name) does the Sanders campaign no favors at all, which makes me wonder who, really, is paying for it. Time after time, they say things that turn out to be untrue.

To all the Clintonites who accused US of handing the election to the Republicans by supporting a Democratic Socialist...well you all know what you can do with that opinion. Turns out according to the polls that it is you who could be jeopardizing a Democratic victory by supporting Hillary who most people dislike. Think about this for a minute...Trump will pivot to the center once selected...Rove is now supporting him...YOU could be throwing the election away and if we lose I guarantee your influence will be forever over as everyone will blame YOU for ruining a once in a lifetime opportunity in the name of ego and selfishness.

National Polls are interesting, but the reality of the nomination is in the States and the Electoral College. Personally, I would like to see the Nomination Process changed as part of Campaign Reform. The system of Electoral College Delegates is archaic and outmoded. I am not suggesting a Parlimentary type system, but would rather see candidates directly elected by votes rather than delegates. Direct elections would skew more populist, whereas the Electoral System tends to nominate technocrats who know how to manipulate the arcane system that we have now. It is too complicated and protracted a system, and alienates more casual voters, I think.

Is someone somewhere giving lessons about posting massively false equivalencies? How about DIY lessons on how to make the most lame, farfetched claims of sexism conceivable?

Sure seems like it sometimes.

Please enlighten me how ordering something other than the only food for which Nathan's Famous is famous, given she didn't intend to eat what she ordered anyway, is a sex-linked or gender-linked trait.

Charges like discrimination, harassment, etc. are serious. People don't get hired. They get fired. Sometimes, they even get killed. Throwing charges around over things like your claim about my hot dog post or false claims about kitten heels vs. flats trivializes the charges and, IMO, that does hurt women.

I don't care that you edited. In fact, I'm glad you did. and I edit all the time. I'm just explaining why my first reply reads as it does.

As far as thinking people, as opposed to people who post just to bash: IMO, thinking people would have understood from the jump that my reply, http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=1415328 was both logical and not gender-based.

If Bernie had ordered a food he intended to leave and ordered ice cream, it would have been just as inexplicable. And, if a thinking person did find something illogical about my reply, he or she would have explained why.

So, since you imply that you are a thinking person and my reply reflected poorly on thinking people everywhere, it should have been very easy for you to specify to me exactly why my post about ordering a hot dog at a place known ONLY for hot dogs makes no sense. Yet you didn't. It's not too late, though: please go ahead and explain. Thanks in advance.

are not spike heels they are pointy and "chiseled" and can destabilize one's gait. Who said it was an "accomplishment"? Women are damned if they do and damned if they don't in regard to clothing choices, and HRC would be derided if she showed up in "sensible shoes," or better yet, whatever shoes Bernie wears. The concern trolling about HRC's health is patently ridiculous and reeks of desperation. Did you see Jennifer Lawrence fall at the Oscars, and then again as she got out of her limo for another red carpet event? Her movies indicate that she is in damn good shape. It happens. Gerald Ford fell a time or two (or three), and people said he was a klutz, but nobody tried to spread smears about his "health."
Btw, have you ever noticed how strangely unpopulated that "train station" is in your clip? Seems pretty staged to me.... And I don't agree that he looks "a lot healthier", so there is nothing for me to "admit." I don't play Bill Frist-style diagnostic games on the internet and I take their respective physicians' word for it that they are both in good health. They are both keeping extremely challenging schedules at ages when many are retired. Kudos to both for that.

missed all those times. Absolutely nothing is wrong with a stylish flat. And wearing flat, Hillary looks as though moving is an effort for her. BTW, if low kitten heels destabilize her, the problem is not the shoe.

As a woman who has seen and suffered actual gender based discrimination/harassment and who has also served on hiring committees, I am telling you, this constant pulling of the victim card for every lame reason to help Hillary hurts women in general and therefore ticks me.

As far as the video, I've taken trains and subways in NYC and Boston at all hours and have indeed seen them that sparsely populated, even emptier. And the train was obviously about to pull out out, so common sense says most people were already in the train or on the platform. Funny how you will assume some things from what your eyes tell you but not others.

Besides which, if the issue is health, what does it matter if it was staged? Clearly, Sanders is the one running, not a stunt double.

As far as not having said it was accomplishment, no, you did not use that word, but you sure posted as though it was an achievement that Bernie would have trouble matching.

As everyone who has lived in NY (not just maintained a residence there while living in D.C.) and even most visitors know, "Nathan's Famous" is famous for hot dogs, period.

I could see her ordering ice cream to eat if she hates hot dogs. But, if she were going to order something and NOT eat it, why, oh, why not order the hot dog? It's like going to some very old, iconic local pancake house for a local color photo op, then ordering soup and leaving it. Makes no sense.

How many college kids were even eligible to vote 4 years ago?

How many more supporters have been denied the right to vote even though they were registered?

And others haven't voted in the past because they didn't feel like either party represented their interests. But Sanders is generating enthusiasm among first-time voters. Something your "reality-based" conservative candidate isn't doing.

If Sanders was attracting enough votes to win, he'd be winning.

86. So, that would mean, he beats her among Democrats, gets 72% of independents

and usually gets 20-30% of Republicans in Vermont and I am sure nationally there would be some as well. . . . Hillary will not get that many Independents and NO Republicans. . ..

He beats Hillary in EVERY voting block. . . . AND he beats all the Republican candidates by double digits and Hillary doesn't.

Can you make that "electability" argument for me one more time?

I mean, it IS the GE we want to win right?
