(16,104 posts)since so few know who Senator Sanders (I-VT) is, polling would be pointless without explaining who he is, while Hillary has 100% name recognition.

(11,573 posts)My gut feeling, given the general public indifference to him, lack of funding, etc., is that Sanders may hit a plateau around 18-20 percent, then fade rapidly.

(11,573 posts)If I recall correctly, he was at 13% before, so he's gotten exactly 2% out of his saturation of the talk shows and official announcement.

(16,104 posts)Democrats identifying as very liberal support Hillary at 61%.
Very liberal Democrats support Senator Sanders (I-VT) at 28%.
That's pretty close to 2 out of 3 liberals prefer Hillary!

(1,596 posts)He is going to have to do much better then that if he doesn't want to become a joke candidate.
But I guess it is better then O'Malley's 1%.

(581 posts)I wonder how long the polls will continue to include Biden. Clinton's numbers should improve slightly once he drops out. And O'Malley's entry into the race may help split the anti-Clinton vote.
