CNN poll: Bernie Sanders surges to join Biden atop Democratic presidential pack

[totodeinhere]

I know it's just one poll but the results are interesting. And yes I realize that polls from early primary and caucus states are probably more relevant than national polls. But it is what it is.

1. Well, I'll take it.

That said, it doesn’t effect my choice.

2. Outlier...CNN had something like this earlier ....Biden is ahead.

13. Yes we will! Bernie's kickin' azz! Clearly the Boundless Bernie Bashing Backlash is takin hold!

We The People have Bernie's back cuz he's had ours for DECADES!! We know better than to fall for all the Bernie Bashing... looks like it's backfiring big time!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

14. I know you love Bernie, but you know better...when we leave Iowa, there is no path with his lack of

AA vote and lukewarm support of women...there just isn't. I don't know who will win Iowa but I don't think it will be a blowout for anyone...It probably will be a draw with delegates awarded to most. But then we hit Nevada and Carolina and just a bit later super Tuesday. I just don't think he has a chance. As you know Sanders was my second choice for a while but that changed when he hired Stein supporters and went scorched earth. All this rah rah...you know better. He has less support than last time. As my second choice Warren has declined in the polls, I doubt she will stay in the race, but even if she did, her support won't be enough to lead to a brokered convention which was always Sander's only (very slim)chance.

3. New Poll...

Sander in third place..

6. I know. I said it's just one poll.

it's just another poll to add to the mix. But if you take all the polls together I think that any objective analysis would have Biden in the lead with Bernie as his main competitor. But of course polls can be volatile so that may or may not change.

8. Sanders isn't doing well in states he should,

You dont want to hear this but it is true. Where does he after this?

11. True Tiggeroshii, but you also have to look at the Big Mo'...Bernie's CLIMBING and Joe's FALLING!!

It's a result of all the Boundless Bernie Bashing Backlash that is now reflected in the polling. See, We The People know who's side Bernie is on... it's not so much that we're for HIM, it's that he's with US!!!!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

5. Either one, there was some interesting "other stuff "in the poll

Like these numbers


Enthusiasm for voting in the 2020 election appears to have dipped a bit from its December high point in the new poll, with the numbers declining by double digits among both Democrats and Republicans. Enthusiasm for voting has bounced a bit throughout CNN's polling this past fall, but has consistently remained at a higher level than is typical even for the fall of an election year.

The drop in deep enthusiasm among Democrats was sharper than the one among Republicans, and the current poll finds the most enthusiastic voters leaning in Trump's direction in just about every matchup.

The poll included an oversample of those living in 15 battleground states, defined as those where the race between Clinton and Trump in 2016 was decided by 8 points or fewer. In those states, the poll finds consistently tight races regardless of the nominees, with Democrats ranging from 46% to 49% support and Trump from 47% to 50%. In none of the six tested matchups does either candidate hold a significant advantage.


Asked whether a woman can win the US presidency, a whopping 84% of voters say yes, but there is a notable gender divide here. While only 9% of men say a women could not win the U.S. presidency, that figure about doubles among women, 20% of whom say no, a woman cannot win the presidency. That figure stands at roughly 20% among women regardless of age, party, education level or race.

9. See that makes me doubt the poll. Democrats are enthusiastic.

It sounds like bullshit to me...will have to look at internals

[Demsrule86]

10. Ah that explains the poll...they are screwing with Demographics.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. Bernie surges to JOIN Biden?! More like PASS Biden!!

WOOHOOOOOOO... GO BERNIE!!! The Boundless Bernie Bashing Backlash is reflected in Bernie's surging to the top of the polls!! Keep it up... it's helping Bernie!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[Tiggeroshii]

15. Exactly! GO BERNIE!!

16. a SURGE!

I guess CNN isn't in the doghouse any more after the debate?

[totodeinhere]

17. Their website is in the business of getting as many hits as possible.

It's pretty common to use an attention grabbing headline like that.

[ehrnst]

18. So you obliged...

And yes, they're out of the doghouse now.
