Every graph that is being posted shows the same exact thing for Bernie. Guess people are really aroused by his message.

Clinton Leads Sanders by 33%
(Clinton 60% - Sanders 27%)
EAST LANSING, Michigan --- Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to lead Senator Bernie Sanders among likely Democratic Party Presidential Primary voters. Clinton leads Sanders 60%-27%, a 33-point lead up from the 27-point lead she had on February 5th. Clinton remains popular among voters 50 or older. The IVR (Interactive Voice Response) automated survey of 430 likely March 2016 Michigan Democratic Presidential Primary voters was conducted by Mitchell Research & Communications February 15, 2016. The poll has a Margin of Error of + or – 4.69% at the 95% level of confidence.
“Hillary Clinton continues to lead Bernie Sanders by a large margin even after her defeat in New Hampshire. Her lead even increased by 4% in the recent poll on February 15th. Bernie Sanders numbers however do remain consistent in polling from February 5th, only varying by 1%. Her consistent lead puts her in a strong position to win on March 8th in Michigan,” Steve Mitchell, CEO of Mitchell Research & Communications said.
Here are the results by key demographics:
By age:
 Sanders leads Clinton 51% to 43% with 18-49 year olds.
 Clinton leads 56%-36% with voters 50-59.
 Clinton leads 62%-23% with voters 60-69.
 Clinton (69%) leads Sanders (14%) with voters 70 and older.

9. There is a big Arab presence in MI

In Dearborn and the surroundings. They can deliver more 10,000 votes just in this area alone. You just need to get them to vote. They are all for Bernie. Historically, Arabs are not very much involved in politics here in the US (2008 was an exception). I know that they are all for Bernie. I have relatives and friends there (more than 100), and I know they are all for Bernie. Few of them were contacted by Bernie's campaign. Please relay the message that they need to be contacted and just get them to vote.

HRC destructive policies in the ME is having a big effect on them. Look at Libya ( I wonder what kind of foreign affair experience she is boasting). Libya and Syria are the major source of ISIS operatives. Disgusting. All because of the ill judgment of HRC.

Let me tell you this: 3 candidates will get the US to war if they get to the WH. Cruz, Rubio and HRC. I wonder how much did the Saudis and Qataris paid HRC to convince Obama about Syria and Libya course of action. It has been a disaster. 100's of thousands died and we have ISIS. Utter disaster.
