Democrats are really, really starting to like Hillary Clinton.

The front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination has seen her net favorable rating jump 14 points among Democrats and those who lean to the left since the first Democratic debate in October, while her top competitor – Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont – has seen his own rating stay fairly stagnant, according to Gallup polling released this week. Both candidates, along with former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, will take the stage again Saturday in Iowa for the second official debate of the Democratic primary...



The chart reflects the newest Gallup favorable rankings, collected Oct.25-Nov.7, 2015.

6. More misuse of polling data!

According to Gallup, Clinton now has a 63 percent net favorable rating among those on the left, up from 49 percent just before the debate.

Yet...Clinton Maintains Modest Image Advantage Over Sanders

The smaller gap between Clinton and Sanders reflects changes in both candidates' images in recent months. Sanders' net favorable image has increased from the +26 to +29 range in July and August to +40 in the last two weeks. Clinton's, on the other hand, has gone from +60 to a low of +48 in early September before rising to the current +52.


Sanders is now familiar to 60% of Democrats, up from 49% when Gallup began tracking this in mid-July. Well over nine in 10 Democrats are familiar with Clinton.

Clinton also has an advantage among those with a high school education or less, older Democrats, conservatives/moderates and women. Sanders, on the other hand, ties or does better than Clinton among whites, those who have at least some college education, 18- to 29-year-olds, liberals and men.

9. More misuse of polling data

METHODOLOGY
–
This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline
and cell phone Nov. 4-8, 2015, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,023 adults, including 318 Democrats

http://www.langerresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/114454a2ClintonSandersFavorables.pdf

318... Three hundred and eighteen democrats!

So...Clinton’s viewed favorably by a vast 83 percent of Democrats.

That is 264 people!
264 people is hardly a VAST percent of democrats.


But keep on pretending that the opinions of
318 self-described democrats somehow
capture the pulse of MILLIONS of people
LOL

10. The more exposure she gets, the more she smacks down the false and negative talking points

People are realizing the false memes that are being spread by RW lies and Bernie supporters extreme and often false talking points.

[Cosmic Kitten]

11. Which false talking points?

That she was *dead broke*?
She told Wall St to *cut it out*?
She survived *sniper fire*?

Hillary is barely hanging onto a lead
in the polls DESPITE spending over
$7 million on commercials,
internet advertising and polling.

She is known by 9 out of 10 people
whereas Bernie has a 60%
familiarity rating!

Hillary is barely ahead of a guy who
is known by only 60% of people!
Just wait till the other 40%
Feel the Bern™

[MrWendel]

13. Define "Barley Hanging onto a lead"

Show me a poll that shows that? Wow, denial is a stage of grief!

[TSIAS]

12. That's how it is now

Just last month everyone thought Biden would jump in to save the Democratic Party from a wounded Clinton.

Who knows what next month will bring?
