I am posting any poll of intrest to us here and not in GD-P for sanity.a national poll with Clinton having only a 15 point lead is good for us.Especilly with polls showing 30 or higher lead recent.

meanwhile In GOP clown car-Trump 28% Carson 23% Rubio-11% Bush 6% Cruz 6%

They are designed to get the answers that the MSM wants. I will not believe them one bit. When one looks at the methodology alone, one can see how they are doctored.

Hence the strain. There's nothing inevitable about this election...it really just depends on who comes out to vote in the primaries, and who gets the nominations. If Bernie is nominated, he will win. Hence, the fear amongst the 1%, the stench of which is only growing stronger with every passing day.

So talk up voting for Bernie in the primary!

The Democrats permitted him under their Big Tent...and they are going to have to live with the consequences. They will come to like Bernie in the end...this I predict! Well, all except Hillary, of course, who is dying to out do Bill for some reason...why didn't she just divorce him?

but it's not good news for her regardless.She is under 50 In 2 person race.sorry to any O'Malley supporters who might lurk in here but it's the truth.This is group of investers too hardly a group in the tank for bernie.

She may have gotten temporary bumb for bengazi testimony and biden not running but things are moving back Into reality where
Bernie Is doing better than obama was at this time in 2007.

I am skeptical of iowa polls with her with massive lead due to fact no evidance of excitement for In iowa.

The ad from bernie is great sense it shows both his history and him on the issues.

I have always thought some of clinton's support is soft with it being 1:Name recognion 2:MSM ignoring bernie and 3:The inevitablty to her that people have been trying to convince dems of.

and because the exit poll is so accurate, they stopped doing those polls.

If we could create a national movement to ensure transparent counting of the votes, and pressure every Dem to stand up for it, we could have a better chance of breaking the oligarchy / plutocracy in ...2024.

is that they may be used to fudge (or downright change) actual primary voting totals. Who can trust the machines? The caucus states are going to be the only real evidence of primary voting, and even they can become suspect. Remember Hillary's last primary? I hope Bernie has a good ground game for the caucus states.
