West Virginia Poll: Clinton 36%, Sanders 32%!

W.V. Poll Clinton 36% Sanders 32%

The report noted that all respondents knew who Hillary was, while one third did not know who Bernie was. Yet!

Poll: Democrats running for WV gov locked in dead heat

The poll also noted about 36 percent of those likely to vote in the Democratic presidential race supported Hillary Clinton, while 32 percent supported Bernie Sanders. About 32 percent remained undecided.

Clinton was recognized by nearly all of the survey’s respondents while Sanders could not be rated by a third of respondents.

Bernie rises in polls as people get to know him. Several polls are now showing him going into the 30s while half the country still doesn't know who he is.

So a lot of work still to be done to introduce Bernie to as many people as possible, but amazing work considering its only been a few months, Bernie is doing it without Corporate money, without the backing of the DNC, and starting out with practically zero name recognition.

1. Didn't she ROMP in WVA vs. Obama in '08?

If those dirt poor white Appalachians are hearing Sanders clearly, we could have the makings here of a real political realignment.

A sort of coalition that Jesse Jackson talked about in '84 and to a lesser extent in '88.

The country wasn't ready then. Sounds like it might be ready now.

3. I agree. The country has had a lot of time now to see the results of neo-lib/con policies. Many

people have opted out of the system, believing they have no power. But Bernie is saying to them 'you do have power, but only if you stand up together' and he is providing them with a vehicle to do that.

I think it is possible to have the kind of politicial revolution that happens once in a lifetime. And I'm sure those in power see it also and will do everything they can to stop it.

But as Bernie says, if enough people get involved, they can't stop it. This election is about issues, despite the MSM's fixation with a Reality TV Star.

6. West Virginia's support, a citadel of labor gave JFK the Democratic nomination in 1960.

"I would not be where I now am, I would not have some of the responsibilities I now bear, if it had not been for the people of West Virginia", President John F. Kennedy, June 20, 1963.

8. Must be a lot of rich Volvo drivers there

13. Unlike the Hamptons where everyone owns Lamberghinis and Hummers and Mercedes, BMWs etc. I know, I

worked there during the summer for nine years and you would NEVER, EVER see any respectable Billionaire driving a volvo among the rich and famous who finance our elections in the Hamptons.

11. "Bernie rises in polls as people get to know him."

This is the beauty of it, Sabrina. It's wonderful watching him push upward, upward, upward.

He is the right man and this is his time.
