Newest Indiana poll: Hillary with big lead over Bernie 55-40

[DCBob]

The likely Democratic presidential primary voters were more certain of their choice. Less than five percent saying they don’t know who they will support. Clinton, with 55 percent, holds a substantial lead over Sanders, with 40.3, at this point, according to the results. The undecideds stood at 4.8 percent

================

Looks like we are seeing a bandwagon effect. Its over folks.

This same poll has Cruz leading Trump 45-29. That could make things interesting on the GOP side.

1. Time to Bern another big pile of money. nt

[DCBob]

4. I think his money pile is shrinking rapidly.

Time to layoff more folks and cancel some ads..

and go back to Vermont!

[Tarc]

2. That's called the Fading Bern

It was a good run, but the New York shellacking sealed the deal.

[puffy socks]

14. Bern out nt

[Thinkingabout]

3. Good for Hillary, the vote count goes up and the delegate count goes,

What a good sign

[Armstead]

5. Yeah. All those issues get swept under the carpet

We get months of nothing but how awful Trump is and how wonderful Clinton is vs. How wonderful Trump is and how awful Hillary is...... How the Democrats stand for Apple Pie and the GOP is Evil vs. the Democrats as satnic Cult and the Resurgent GOP (or something. They'll have a hard time defending themselves this time.)

Meanwhile all of the those things Sanders has been talking about get swept under the rug and the millions of people he resonated with get marginalized by Clinton, the Democratic Party Establishment....And the MSM can get back to nothing but horse-race and soap opera and pro wrestling.

Issues? Reality? Screw that.

[DCBob]

9. I hope not.

We do need an issues oriented election.. not a mud wrestling match.

[Armstead]

13. Watching the news in the last few days, it's all reverting to form

All personality and "strategy" and the teams lining up for the Steel Cage Death Match....Happy happy kumbya Democratic talk....."We all don't like Trump"

nothing about anything of substance

[MineralMan]

15. Voters. It is about voters.

Voters and pledged delegates. Primaries are about those things. They are directly related. Let Indiana vote, and their decision will be known. Would you have it otherwise?

[Armstead]

16. You kinda missed my point

[MineralMan]

17. No, you know, I didn't.

The voters in Indiana will decide for themselves what is important to them. They will decide what issues matter to them. They are as smart as voters anywhere, but the issues they think are important are not necessarily the same ones you do. People figure things out for themselves, and have access to the Internet.

I missed nothing. We just do not agree.

[RandySF]

6. It looks in line with other polls for Dems

But an outlier for the Republicans

[DCBob]

7. Not sure its an outlier for the Repubs.

The Cruzers are balls to wall in Indiana. It may be working.

[JaneyVee]

8. Dear Bernie Sanders,

Its over.
Signed,

[DCBob]

11. Its even simpler than math...

it's common sense.

[SFnomad]

22. There doesn't appear to be much of that in the BS camp n/t

[seabeyond]

10. Clinton lead is widening. Good. Nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. Rope-a-dope even more!

Must be.

[Jitter65]

18. The more they see and hear from Bernie and his supporters the less they like him. nt

[Skwmom]

19. Why do you think the Corp Media and Camp Clinton have been shouting it is over - give up.

[Spacedog1973]

21. The Bernie Party is winding down

[workinclasszero]

23. Wow great news!

Looks like Democratic voters are going with the winner of the primary.

Good choice.

[DCBob]

24. Cheers back to ya.

25. I predict Sanders will get more than 40 percent.

However, let's say he does get 40 percent.

A year ago, few would have thought that a democratic socialist would get 40 percent in a Democratic primary in Indiana. This isn't the last election. In eight years, a candidate with Sanders' agenda may do even better.

[DCBob]

26. Totally agree its been remarkable what Sanders has accomplished..

and that clearly his supporters represent the future of the party. The next election will likely have a much more progressive candidates.
