1. Yeah

I'm really hoping she doesn't just beat him, but embarrass Bernie in Iowa. I want to send that blowhard packing sooner rather than later.

9. I have mixed feelings. I am an avid Clinton supporter

but I do think the surprising strong showing by Sanders will sharpen her campaigning skills and make her a better candidate in the general. That's my objective side. My partisan side wants Hillary to crush Sanders.

11. 5% lead?? Holy shit!

That's it? Just 5%?

Bernie has already won. The blowhard has blown down the Clinton machine. My gawd, Bernie is fucking amazing!

2. Excellent!

I know how much polls are touted here, especially when they show Bernie ahead. Fair is fair.

6. Have you been paying attention to this place for the last 6 months?

Hillary supporters have gone out of their way to post every single national and state poll since June.

3. Go, Hillary!

[RobertEarl]

12. Hillary is going places

She's going down! Bernie is crushing her and her expensive expectations. Bernie is making history and will be the next president.

Goodbye Hillary!

14. And take Bill with you.

4. lol Politico - that all you got?

[Dovidoff]

10. Politico is not the pollster. Monmouth University is

Did you think Politico conducted this poll?

5. Been saying it since yesterday

To y'all, polls only seem to matter when your chosen candidate are on top of 'em. I hold Quinnipiac and Monmouth polls in equal regard; so naturally-- kinda disappointed here. The consolation; it's not even the first yet. There's still time.

7. This shows tremendous gains for Bernie.

Last Monmouth University poll he was down by 22, now he's within the margin of error. Monday will be very interesting.

8. Whoever has the best GOTV operation

and the most reliable voters will win.
