Looks like the spamming of PP, NARAL, and anyone who doesn't endorse Sanders is finally working


Hillary was behind at least 30 points in NH according to the polls, and now she is behind 12 to 16 points.

A couple of other state primaries were also released today:

Michigan Democratic Presidential Primary
Clinton +32

Arkansas Democratic Presidential Primary
Clinton +32

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/

yup, the Hillary hate really seems to be having an effect, except I am not sure it is what the spammers were anticipating....

Honestly, a slam against PP among Democrats? That's not going to be terribly effective--and has a massive potential for backfire.

Women's health care is one of the cornerstones you simply don't attack if you're a Democrat. Therefore, Sanders is not a... Anyone? Anyone?

and NARAL for endorsing Hillary. How do you classify the Sanders campaign's brilliant "establishment" characterization?

Have you looked at 90% of threads being bantered about here. The ones behaving "sophomoric", are not the Clinton group.

It isn't Clinton supporters who say they won't support the Democratic nominee whoever it is. There is only one group where some say they will not support the Democratic nominee if it is Hillary. Guess who?

Just take a look at the threads here, and tell me where the hate is coming from

One of the outliers has already corrected somewhat. The rest remain steady, averaging around +15

Sorry, but NH seems to have pretty much stabilized at +15 for Bernie.

Sanders himself has decried the idiotic BernieBros mentality, and labeling any advocacy of Sanders as being "BernieBros" is intellectually dishonest. Don't you guys realize how entitled, arrogant and close-minded you all look sequestered in your little cheerleading echo chamber here? Are there private groups for Sanders supporters (I'm not aware of any, I could be wrong)?

I don't doubt that there are close-minded and arrogant Bernie supporters (I'll go look for one of their groups). Personally, I find the concept of echo chambers for either candidate to be counter-productive. People should be engaging with one another and trading perspectives, not reduce the community to mindless, dogmatic sports fandom. No?

then let me know what you think about a true echo chamber. Something else you might wish to keep in mind is that Hillary supporters do refrain from intruding upon what is intended to be a protected group for Bernie supporters. Many from that group don't seem to have the same self control where our group is concerned.

There's no longer any substance here at DU with most of Bernistas supporters. A few have come on here and been respectful. We've been gracious. We can appreciate differences. What we don't appreciate are obscene, unfounded accusations, name-calling and lies. So if you want to e respected here, be respectful. It's a hell of a lot safer for you here than it is for me, a Hillary supporter, on the rest of DU.

....from the same pollster.

Prior to the claim that PP, et. al. were called "establishment" and started getting spammed and barraged, 9 of 13 polls had Sanders ahead by 20 or more points, the average being 22 (21.9) points.

Since then, only 1 of 12 had Sanders ahead by 20 or more, the average being 13 points.

There has been a definite change in the trend. Whether or not it has to do with what's mentioned in the OP is unknown, but something has changed the voters' minds.
