Gallup: Hillary favorable up since debate, Bernie remains static.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/186551/democrats-positive-views-clinton-improve-debate.aspx



Clinton's net favorable rating up 14 points since Oct. 13 debate.

Sanders remains less well-known, and his image has been static.

Clinton does much better than Sanders among black Democrats.

-snip-

Bottom Line

Sanders continues to be both less well-known and less well-liked among Democrats than Clinton, his major opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination. Clinton has become even better liked since the Oct. 13 Democratic debate, while Sanders' image has remained essentially static. Sanders appears to be increasing his efforts to "go negative" on Clinton in recent days, and he and O'Malley will have an opportunity to confront her before a national audience on Saturday when the Democrats hold their next debate. This will be a difficult challenge, because over 90% of Democrats are familiar with Clinton, and a growing, and overwhelming, majority of them have a favorable opinion of her. Sanders also faces the challenge of increasing his own name identification, given that a good deal of his net favorable deficit compared with Clinton is a result of his relative lack of familiarity among Democrats. Now, 64% of Democrats know him, up from 49% in mid-July, but Clinton is one of the best-known politicians in America.

Fine. On that basis, Bernie's would be 38% of 30%. Kiss November goodbye. pnwmom Nov 2015 #4

But you don't have to be a registered Democrat to vote as a Democrat. In my state nobody registers as anything and everyone gets the same primary ballot.

They need to be talking about the TPP and make it loud and clear about its consequences for working people here in the U.S. I hope they hold all three of these candidates feet to the fire on this issue.

Hillary Clinton was rated by a random subset of 801 Democrats and
Bernie Sanders by 764 Democrats during this period.


That's a 37 person difference, which is more than enough to substantially skew the poll result in a particular direction.
Sorry guys, that's a bad poll.
