Good News For Bernie Sanders More Supporters & Endorsements.



Good news for the Sanders campaign. Bernie is gaining supporters and endorsements by the handful in recent days. As Clinton’s numbers plummet, Sanders’ are surging.

A recent poll by Public Policy Polly shows that Martin O’Malley’s supporters overwhelmingly prefer Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton. Although polling at only 2.3 percent, those voters could make or break Sanders in a general election showdown. The survey found that 43 percent of O’Malley supporters would give their vote to Bernie Sanders while only 20 percent would vote for Hillary.

For those supporting O’Malley, if that 43 percent of voters turn to Bernie Sanders in a Trump-Sanders matchup, it could help tip the Democrats over the edge to a win.

But this isn’t the only good news for Sanders. In another poll released by PPP, where they surveyed 1,901 registered voters, Bernie Sanders won every matchup against Republican candidates except when paired with Donald Trump. In that poll, it was a dead heat between the two men, with each getting 42 percent, although other polls put Sanders ahead by eight points. In similar polls HIllary Clinton loses to Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio by several percentage points. Again, Donald Trump matched against Hillary ends up tied at 42 percent.

But it was just a week or so ago that PPP or Quinnipiaic (SP) said Bernie was beating tRump by 10-12 in the GE?

Why the sudden tie?
