Poll: Clinton leads Sanders by 25 points nationally

[Freddie Stubbs]

Source: The Hill

Hillary Clinton has extended her lead nationally over Bernie Sanders to 25 points in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, according to a new Bloomberg Politics poll.

Clinton leads Sanders 55 percent to 30 percent among Democrats in the poll released Friday. She led Sanders 33 percent to 24 percent in a September poll that also included Vice President Biden.

The latest survey was conducted in the days after the second Democratic debate last weekend, which came in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris.

Clinton holds strong leads over Sanders on issues of who can best combat Islamic terrorism, who has the better temperament to be president and who would work most effectively with Congress.

After two debates, Democratic voters continue to reject Bernie Sanders.

[pangaia]

1. My poll...

Clinton for Clinton.
Sanders for other human beings.

End of poll...

[Freddie Stubbs]

2. Sounds like a huge margin of error

[riversedge]

17. plus plas and many as possible

[Helen Borg]

3. +1

[hack89]

5. How many times did you vote? Nt

[pangaia]

8. Zero times.

Didn't have to.

[brooklynite]

10. So you're not counting the 20 M Democrats who indicate they'll vote for her?

Do they fall into the "too stupid to vote the right way" category, or the "not really Democrats category"?

[pangaia]

11. Did you actually read my post?

Did I say anything about 'stupid?'
Did I say anything about " "not really Democrats category"?

You see, your reply is like when you call Chase customer service in ,, oh, wherever it is.
Those folks don't really speak or understand English. They have been taught 34 questions people are like to ask, in English, and 23 answers, also in English.
So... if they are asked a question that is NOT included in the 34, all they can do is give one of their prepared 23 answers,, then the next, then the next...

[brooklynite]

16. You said: Sanders for other human beings.

I observed that about 20 M other "human beings" are supporting Clinton. I then asked you to categorize them based on the categories I keep hearing Sanders supporters mention.

[pangaia]

25. You still do not understand what I wrote.

Ooookay... I said Sanders is running for the benefit of other human beings. Clinton is running for herself.

[stupidicus]

14. obviously it's not just rightwingers who vote against their self-interests

there's apparently that many Americans that either fully approve of her opposition to single-payer, likely support for the TPP and future needless warmongering, etc, etc, etc, or are ignorant about all that.

[liberal N proud]

4. It is not a National Election

It is elections state by state building an electoral vote.

Leading nationally can still be a loss.

[hack89]

6. She is winning the states as well

Bernie will be lucky if he wins a single state.

[liberal N proud]

12. If she can lock up each state - then it is good

[brooklynite]

9. ...except that she's leading in each State as well.

New Hampshire is arguably a tie after a consistent period of Sanders being ahead.

[liberal N proud]

13. She just needs enough states to win the nomination

[onehandle]

7. Ten weeks and change until Hillary wins the Iowa Caucuses. nt

[INdemo]

15. November of 2007 Clinton leads Obama

With Edwards still in the race

Clinton led Obama 38 percent to 27 percent in the new poll, a 10-point fall from her 46 percent to 25 percent lead last month. The drop followed a month of attacks on the New York senator from her rivals and a heavily criticized performance in a late-October debate.

27. Sanders is not Obama and this is not 2008.

[Gore1FL]

18. At this time in 2008 She was leading by 27%!

[Tarheel_Dem]

28. Let me show you the difference between 2008 & 2016!

'I know Barack Obama, and BS is no Barack Obama'!!!!!

[Gore1FL]

31. You are right, he is no Obama.

He's better.

[Tarheel_Dem]

32. "He's better". And that right there is the reason BS is making little/no headway with AA's.

The BS'ers have pushed this notion that BS is "better than" Obama, and that's not going down well with BO's coalition. But, why am I telling you this? You already knew that, right? There's a reason HRC is beating BS in the 80 percentile among AA's & Latinos.

[Gore1FL]

33. OK.

I will see who actually wins when they actually win. Until that time, I will work for the candidate of my choice. I've watched the favorite get upset almost every time

76 Favorite Udall lost to Carter
84 Favorite Mondale won but after a strong surprise showing by Hart (and considerable impact from Jackson)
88 Favorite Hart lost to Dukakis
92 Favorite Tsongas lost to Clinton
00 Favorite Gore won
04 Favorite Dean lost to Kerry
08 Favorite Clinton lost to Obama
16 Yet to be seen.

If believing things without evidence floats your boat, have at it. It's a long way off, and the situation demonstrably has the ability to change.

[Tarheel_Dem]

34. My "evidence" is scientific polling. Do you really want to talk about "floatin' boats"?

04 Favorite Dean lost to Kerry

I'm not sure who Dean was a "favorite" with, but all of these cases seem to favor the more "establishment" candidate, not the "insurgent".

[Gore1FL]

36. He was front runner throughout.

He had big leads like Hillary.

It was in the news and everything!


The races I listed had scientific polling. so did the ones in 1948 that predicted Dewey over Truman for months prior to Truman's landslide.

Your scientific polling is too early to accurately predict months from now. Go ask a scientist--or at least a statistician.

I appreciate the gusto you have for your candidate, but please keep some perspective. In doing so, you'll find your boat to have much better buoyancy.

[Tarheel_Dem]

37. Bookmarking.

[Gore1FL]

41. OK

All I said was that no one knew the outcome. You are the one making a prediction with a poll that is somehow more more "scientific" than the one in 2007.

Hillary may well be the nominee. Just as in 2007, the indicators are there. But like 2015, 2007 isn't the year that this is important.

If you could give me some soothsaying help, though, who do you predict will win the 2016 World Series?

[DCBob]

19. Funny how the Bernsters insisted the debates were going to change everything.

Wrong as usual.

[frylock]

20. What debates?

[Nitram]

21. So, Frylock, you agree that Bernie flubbed the debates.

Nice to see you're paying attention.

[frylock]

22. Yeah... no.

[DCBob]

23. I guess you missed them.. millions watched and most agreed Hillary won them both.

Bernie had his chance and was outmatched, outclassed, outsmarted, outdone.

[Nitram]

24. Bernie's problem is that he always falls back on his econiomic policies.

Which doesn't help when foreign policy is being discussed.

[frylock]

26. Yeah, that's what the "liberal media" keeps telling people.

Everyone was real impressed with nounverb911.

[Nitram]

30. The media made the most of Clinton's 911 flub, as well they should have.

That doesn't excuse Bernie's habit of falling back on discussion of his economic policies when asked about foreign policy. this is an awkward time to avoid discussion of foreign policy or national security.

[OilemFirchen]

35. But not feeling the nounverb1percent.

They're so fickle!

[Tarheel_Dem]

29. "Bernie had his chance and was outmatched, outclassed, outsmarted, outdone."

[LiberalAndProud]

38. Polls are interesting.

[Vinca]

39. Very similar to Clinton/Obama at the same time in 2007.

[Martin Eden]

40. That's a shame.

When are people who get polled going to wise up?
