92% of likely Democratic voters could see themselves supporting Hillary,

according to the new NBC news/WSJ poll.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/23/hillary-clinton-presidential-election-poll

Republican pollster Bill McInturff told the Wall Street Journal that Clinton had “the strongest and most advantageous” standing among Democrats he had seen in 35 years of campaign polling. “She starts with advantages among very important groups,” he said. McInturff conducted the poll with Democrat Fred Yang.

Clinton’s high rankings could be buoyed by increasingly positive support numbers for her 2008 rival Barack Obama, whose approval rating is up by 8 percentage points to 48% since September 2014, when it hit an all-time low of 40% according to the same polls.

9. Did they use 100 samplings at Hillary's

official announcement kick-off rally?

5. Are you on the east coast by any chance?

He doesn't have a very high profile in the midwest, south, or west.

11. Then you know some pretty poor Democrats

I SUPPORT BERNIE.

I am a Democrat.

3. Read those statistics which are selective

They gloss over several important pieces of data:

Most of the respondents didn't know Bernie Sanders when the polling was taken

Of those interviewed, Hillary's negatives (something like 40%) were no lower than her positives (equally 40%).

While fewer people knew of Sanders, those that did now him rated his positives higher than his negatives.

4. It is an important point that most people didn't know him. That is a huge obstacle

that he has yet to overcome.

And Hillary's negatives are unlikely to change much, because most people have made up their minds on her. Their opinions on everyone else are in flux.

6. The biggest problem for Bernie is that I think most Dem voters are already happy with Hillary...

and wont even give Bernie a chance. Most probably wont even tune into the debates and when they see Bernie ads they will just dismiss him as that old socialist guy from Vermont. He's already in huge hole and I cant imagine how he can dig his way out.

7. I could see myself supporting her...

if she wins the primary.

8. Like Obama, it would be a 'lesser of two evils' vote. Nothing to be proud of!

10. How many people do you know who took the poll?

Almost everyone I know is voting for Bernie.
