1. K&R nt

2. zoomed in a little

4. He will catch her by mid-March at this rate

With plenty of time left to take enough delegates.

[Cheese Sandwich]

5. National polls don't really count for anything but it still looks cool

[PatrickforO]

6. Yeah it does!

But I think we're all sensing this trend on the ground in our respective states. Bernie's getting new, fervent supporters every day while Hillary either loses them or doesn't gain any.

7. They're an important indicator

Yes, they don't count for anything in terms of delegates but it makes headlines (they can't ignore it when the "front-runner" gets overtaken) which is free publicity, and it means he'll be doing better in many individual states, which does translate into delegates.

15. more important, it breaks her bandwagon effect and creates one for him

1. there's no "can he win?" hesitation
2. everyone likes the frontrunner
2a. her playing underdog will just gross people out as she gets ornery

[Cassiopeia]

8. Bernie or bust.

Democrats need to decide how important change is. We have only one candidate offering it.

9. good news: once clinton starts to decline, she never rises

that is true of her senate race, and her other failed presidential bid.

[jfern]

10. Bernie has clearly plateaued

[noiretextatique]

11. i think it's clinton

same pattern as 2008. once starts declining, she does not rise again.

[Cheese Sandwich]

12. Yes that's clear

[Myrina]

14. I don't think that word means what you think it means ...

[jillan]

16. It looks to me like Bernie is straight up.

[John Poet]

13. After all they've thrown at Bernie,

this is the result?


Keep talking, Hillary & friends...

[reformist2]

17. Bernie has one of the most amazing charts in political history.

From 4 to 40 in less than one year, wow.

On Wall Street, and Hillary might know this, they call stocks that move like this 10-baggers!

[Skwmom]

18. Think what the trend line would be if Bernie was running ads against Clinton.

[AtomicKitten]

19. Awesome trajectory. k/r

[DisgustipatedinCA]

20. Buckle up, everyone. I see a head-on collision coming on that graph.
