More people to vote for Bernie than think he can win. The effect of the warped MSM conspiracy.

Half the people will be voting for him at the moment, while only 1/4 of the people think he'll win the nomination. This is a problem which can be described through framing theory; news media tell us about Bernie, they do so in a way that paints him as an unserious unicorn farmer. We need to figure out a way to make them reframe. (Social Media clearly is our best framing solution at this point).


"The former secretary of state’s 9-point lead over Sanders has dwindled to just 2 points — 45 percent to 43 percent. In Marquette Law’s November survey, Clinton led with 50 percent support to Sanders’ 41 percent. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley has dropped from 2 percent to 1 percent. (Contrary to the most current survey, respondents in November’s poll were asked questions regardless of their intent to vote in the April 5 primary.)


An overwhelming 65 percent see Clinton winning the Democratic nomination compared to just 27 percent for Sanders."
