.................After the first Democratic debate last week, Senator Bernie Sanders supporters claimed their hero handily won the debate and all but sent former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton running for the hills to contemplate dropping out of the race. However, there were a significant number of political analysts and experienced pundits who believed Clinton was the stronger candidate and the response from a fair number of Senator Sanders supporters was predictable, and doleful. They claimed that any pundit, reporter, or political commentator who did not agree that Senator Sanders won the debate were paid by the Clinton campaign, Wall Street operatives, or Republican partisans.
Now though, it appears that the argument has been settled by real pollsters. Democratic voters believe Clinton was the strongest candidate on the stage and her climbing approval numbers in several national polls back up that claim.
For example, in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll released yesterday, 45 percent of likely Democratic voters said that Hillary Clinton won the debate with well over twice the 19 percent who said Bernie Sanders prevailed. The WaPo/ABC poll did not limit the question to respondents who watched the debate, but a different CNN poll did limit respondents and the results were nearly identical with 62 percent of registered Democrats who watched all of the debate giving Clinton the victory over Senator Sanders 35 percent.
Each of those poll results are relatively close to three other professional surveys conducted last week. In one NBC poll, 56 percent of Democrats who watched the debate called Clinton the strongest performer over 33 percent who claimed Senator Sanders won. The numbers were very similar in a Huffington Post/YouGov survey that gave Clinton a 55 percent advantage over Sanders 22 percent. At the same time, a Gravis Marketing telephone survey of Democratic voters gave Hillary Clinton the advantage over Senator Sanders by double at 62 percent to 30 percent.

I hope Bernie fans will leave the unskewed polls and anti-science magic to the teahaddists.
