Democrats Name Clinton The Debate Winner In HuffPost/YouGov Poll

A 55 percent majority of registered Democratic voters who watched the debate said Clinton won. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who saw a surge in online interest and fundraising, was a distant second, with only 22 percent saying he was the best of the night.

Clinton also saw an uptick in the proportion of Democrats who say they want her to be the party's presidential nominee. Before the debate, 44 percent of registered Democrats said they wanted Clinton to be the nominee. After the debate, the figure had risen to 52 percent.

We are now getting scientific polling post-debate, not internet "mob" distortions.

despite days of haranguing by BS and his supporters about how he thrashed Secretary Clinton.

It's nice the polls are finally out but I doubt that anyone in the general forums here will be able to accept them. They will most likely keep clicking on their internet polls and enjoying the results.

Pundits and polling organizations (and corporate M$M for that matter) work for money. They can't afford to be wrong.

Now, there are targeted audiences which enable the "bubble" to continue to make money, but you still can't get it wrong.

Remember Megyn Kelly marching through Fox looking for an honest pollster? Sometimes fact and science and credibility bursts that bubble!

As soon as the election was called for the President I switched on Fox and watched the whole thing in real time.

If the moon turned blue and hell froze over and Hillary didn't win the nomination, the sun would rise tomorrow. I volunteer real time to her campaign so a lot of my friends would be sad but ready to shake it off and move on. I don't think that is going to happen in the Bernie camp. They have pretty unrealistic expectations and they aren't even getting the fact that people can be familiar with Hillary and still want to support and vote for her.

One thing is for sure, when the nomination is finally won by Hillary, I'll be there to watch the other side implode. It's so interesting

Away, just one of many more to come. I think the results will be Hillary as the nominee.
