NBC's Fake Polling Notwithstanding, Hillary Clinton Maintains Big Lead over Bernie Sanders

http://www.thepeoplesview.net/main/2016/3/29/monkeying-around-nbc-news-turns-into-tabloid-polling-firm|


Interesting !!





Bernie Sanders supporters are very happy about a certain "weekly tracking poll" from NBC News: it shows that a mere six percentage points separate their candidate from Hillary Clinton among national Democratic voters. The polling news organization reported it as the "closest Democratic race" to solicit exactly that kind of a reaction.

The particular passage warming the hearts of Sanders fans is this:

“While Clinton maintains a very large lead in the delegate contest, national support in our most recent NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll shows a race that has dipped to only a 6-point difference between the candidates among registered Democrats and Democratic-leaners. This is the smallest gap since the beginning of the tracking poll in late December.”

And I am still trying to find out if the surveys are from states that haven't yet voted in the primary. NBC would declare anything to keep this race alive. And as long as they do, Bernie will keep asking his followers for cash to promote his harebrained revolution!

They will have more than just their politics in common! They will both be old men who preach revolution but no longer have any power.

then Hillary is going to be the nominee. Just like reading the rags in the checkout line, whatever I read there tells me the opposite result.

Showing Sanders 1-point behind Clinton in national survey the day after he concedes. Barring some changes, this is like falling in love with a death row inmate while he's walking the green mile.
