Bernie Gains 11 Points among Women, 16 among Minorities in One Month!

No wonder they don't want Debates. Even though they did everything they could to make sure the least number of people watched, Bernie still benefited enormously from the exposure.

Looks like all those UNSCIENTIFIC polls showing Bernie the overwhelming winner shouldn't have been dismissed so lightly.

After all the "Bernie Bro" talk, Sanders has gained 11 points with women voters since October.

We have argued all along that as he gets out there, gains name recognition, does well in a few debates and connects with various groups that his support will increase.

There have been a lot of dog whistle racist comments about Killer Mike this morning. That tells me just how serious a blow his rousing and passionate introductory speech actually was.

of 'opposition research' going on right now.

That's all they seem to have, smears and personal attacks.

Maybe if the improved their candidate's position on the issues, talked more about what people really care about, as Bernie does, rather than engaging in the same old negative campaign nonsense that people now so despise, they could save a whole lot of those Corp funds and spend them on something positive for a change.

are doing it. Pay attention and you will catch their derision around 'soul food' and 'rapping'.

Isn't it? It is hard to wade through GDP with all of the smears, mockery, and attacking.

I have pointed it out on occasion. Didn't go over very well as you can imagine. But when it's that obvious, well someone has to point it out.

I can't think of anything more racist and despicable than to take serious issues, that are obviously only of 'concern' during political campaigns and USE them for political purposes.

I have taken note of the history on the issues that suddenly became of 'concern' once the primary season started and noticed a serious lack of concern up to that point.

None of it has worked though. Bernie's record on Civil Rights has always been his best weapon again the lies and distortions.

...to experience the excitement, enthusiasm and rise of Bernie in Iowa--as he speaks at rallies, town halls and other events throughout the state. He is going to win the Iowa caucuses, that I know.

I watched Obama do it. Obama was behind 10 points at this time. Bernie is rising even faster than Obama did. According to that latest CBS Battleground poll that was released yesterday, Bernie is only behind by 6. FABULOUS!

I'm going to make phone calls, canvas, drive Bernie supporters to the caucus--and also give a speech at my own caucus for Bernie. I'll do my part to help him sweep these caucuses!

It's going to be like a big party. Can't wait for our two kids to hear Bernie speak!

Let's get this campaign rolling!!!!

That is very strange. I would think a lot of his policy positions would be super popular with them as well.
He is making some great progress, especially with younger voters, minorities, and liberals.

Specifics: doing away with the cap would bring in (X) amount into the SS fund. Based on the number of SS recipients, each retiree will receive $200 (or whatever the amount) more/month.

Give them something to chew on vs Hills SS gobbly-goop

mosly Dems or Dem leaning. Repubs eg are not reflected tin this poll, non voters now energized and working for Bernie etc. Libertarians for Benie etc. Still you are correct, I believe all those polls give a good picture of the impact he's having.
