It's a huge red flag...They knew how to poll Nevada in 2008. I smell a David Brock/KKKRove move. in_cog_ni_to Feb 2016 #15

Word on DU from people that live there seems the buzz is getting better for Bernie. I say he takes the state.

But OTOH I kind of like that pollsters will have very little influence in how people will vote. Basically people have to go with who they like better I think. Or they will just go with who they think can win, either way they are on their own it's probably a good thing even though it drives us political junkies nuts.

A Gravis poll about Christmas was Clinton up 30...it was probably way off.
A lot has happened since those polls...Clinton's Abuela pandering and other assorted meltdowns, several debates and town halls, and Sanders strong showings in Iowa and NH. I think he'll be very competitive in Nevada, but caucuses are hard to predict.

I think it's probably pretty close, but that's a cautious guess.

they work and don't know how to poll for them. Why they can't just poll and ask, "who are you voting for?", is beyond me, but that is what she said. Sounds like bullshit to me.

With the help of the Corrupt Corporate Owned MSM helping them push the bogus "Nevada caucus just can't be polled" story.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/nv/nevada_democratic_caucus-236.html

Now, 2016 caucus, they're unable to poll?

I see her stealing another caucus. I hope Bernie knows what TPTB are up to and gets a ton of people to the caucus and has a bunch of caucus monitors!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

From what I personally saw and talked to people it was either they didn't know who Bernie was, were afraid he couldn't win, etc.

I told all of them to watch debate that weekend. I did find Bernie supporters, mostly in the lower class neighborhoods, the fancier houses were more Hillary folks.

The Hillary people who answered doors were nice though, no divisions.

We were working in Carson City in a more rural area.

The debate party was pretty full and while there a lot of people came in and out of small office.
