Two week old Quinnipiac poll shows HRC with 31 pt lead over Sanders

https://www.quinnipiac.edu/images/polling/us/us12222015_Uhkm63g.pdf

And yet somehow news of that poll is on the front page of DU today with the tag line "New poll tips Sanders to defeat Clinton and prevail over Trump.."

There's going to be a lot of odd stuff posted here between now and March 1st.

If DU took a poll, undoubtedly Bernie would win it, hands down. So what?

And now for the latest post of desperation: Result of an Iowa coffee shop poll where customers vote with a coffee bean..

(Careful, it's in the Sanders group so please don't respond. But the comments are hilarious!)

I got a huge kick out if watching Republicans try and "unskew" the polls in 2012 with a bunch of goofy pseudoscience. And it was total schadenfreude when they started turning on their own to find a scapegoat (especially when that person became Chris Christie).

But when it's the same activity being done by people who are otherwise on the same side, it's a bit deflating.

I'm an optimist, so I'm hoping things will level out in a month or two--the polls favor this theory. I'll just save it up.
