NBC Poll: Clinton Holds 25-Point National Lead Over Sanders (Hillary Group)

http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/poll-clinton-holds-25-point-national-lead-over-sanders-n498071

Hillary Clinton leads rival Bernie Sanders by 25 points nationally ahead of Sunday's final Democratic debate and the all-important Iowa caucuses, according to the latest results from the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

The debate will air on NBC at 9:00 pm ET.

Clinton is the first choice of 59 percent of Democratic primary voters, while Sanders gets the support of 34 percent. Martin O'Malley gets 2 percent.

*****

The NBC/WSJ poll screens out Democratic and Republican voters who aren't expected to participate in the presidential primaries and caucuses.

The new poll also finds 79 percent of Democratic primary voters saying that they could see themselves supporting Clinton, versus 18 percent who couldn't (+61) — essentially unchanged from December's 82 percent-to-17 percent score (+65).

The poll numbers release Chuck Todd sat on earlier this week.

He has not made a dent with people of color. Black, Hispanic and Jewish Democrats strongly support Hillary.

Great news.

Just because things have tightened a bit in two states that look nothing like most of the rest of the country, the fundamentals of this race have never changed.

So yes, this is great news.

the numbers stay the same. It remains 2 to 1 for Hillary ( MineralMan).

We have a network broadcast debate tonight at 9 PM (8 PM CT).

At some time the M$M has to begin to get back their credibility. They can't keep putting out unreal indications and suggestions of a contest which will actually be over in a couple weeks. Only Fox can get away with that.

After pounding Hillary for a year (three decades, to be honest), the corporate media now understands she remains our last, best hope to stand against the divisive, hateful darkness/madness of the GOP candidates and the GOP agenda, whose radical goals could bring down America as we know it.

They created this - and now they are looking in the mirror wondering how they can undo this.

Facts may be a good start.

the Republicans are wondering how to stop Hillary Clinton.

For this next office, I think it's called term-limits!
