1. Sweet, but on that last one, I'd feel better if it was just labeled 'liberal voters'.

'very liberal voters' seems like somewhat of a cherrypicking, as well as being a sort of 'well, of course' sort of thing.

10. Many DU conservatives call themselves liberals

Perhaps because they are liberal on social issues. So I do think specifying very liberal is interesting.

2. Fascinating stuff

It seems that many voters who were waiting for Warren put ideology ahead of gender and went with Bernie after it was clear that Sen. Warren wasn't going to be a candidate. That's encouraging.

4. The thing with Hillary's support is that people have had 12 years to decide to support her.

If they don't support her now they never will. She can only lose support, she will never gain over what she has now.

7. >>>>>>Spot on<<<<<<<<<<

That is the real issue she faces. Support for her is tepid among those who claim they are in her camp. My mother-in-law is one of these supporters. Yet it is obvious as she looks at the voting records of Clinto versus any other candidate (but especially Sanders), she just shakes her head and makes little attempt to defend her.

Her most ardent supporters are senior women, and when they look more closely, as intelligent seniors will do, they can see that HRC has been inconsistent in supporting Democratic Party values.

9. I am one of those seniors, although male, and realize my votes must be more for the future

than they are for the now. My main focus now is what will benefit my children and especially my grandchildren. When all the candidates that are in or expected to be in are considered there is only one clear choice for the future.

I think many senior women will put their children and grandchildren ahead of seeing a woman president in their time and change their support to Bernie. After all a woman president is inevitable, just not this time.

11. Exactly right

This should be something that you repost regularly so people don't forget. In a national poll, Clinton had 2% undecided, Sanders had over 40%. That means that Hillary's number can really only go down which is a horrible narrative. Just as bad as in 2008. And the more Bernie goes up and wins early primaries, more people will pay attention.

But I have to say, I really don't believe her core, which you are correct is women 50+ (not necessarily seniors) will abandon her. I think they will stay with her just like in 2008. But if Bernie can concentrate on GOTV in the youth like Obama did, he has a shot.

3. this has to be horrifying

to the Hillary strategists.

I used to be one of those people who looked at charts like this in business. If we saw something like this, it would be time for a major strategic meeting. People would be called in from all over the country to address it.

Wow, wow, wow. I just love it!

6. yeah

You definitely want to be on the upswing trajectory - any stock/business people know exactly what this means.

Loving it as well.

12. Good point

Heads would roll. Instead they are doing rope lines. Wait for more attacks because that is really all they have. They are praying Biden gets into the race.

5. And Sanders is generally not very well known yet.

In Iowa people are getting to know him, and it shows. And he's got plenty of time to get out there and have the rest of the country get to know him also.

8. That's days ago! I'm sure it's closer now

13. omgz...
