BOISE | ... The Democratic caucus is March 22, and the polling shows Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with 47 percent support, compared to 45 percent for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

On the GOP side, the results are close to the last poll which was conducted in January and had 31 percent for Trump, 19 for Cruz, 13 for Carson and 11 for Rubio. On the Democratic side, though, the polling shows a dramatic reversal from Clinton's previous 10-point lead.

1. Or 47% to 45% even.... ;)

nudge...

2. Weren't you the same person who was downplaying Hillary's massive wins

Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and South Carolina?

Now you're playing up a poll of Idaho that shows Bernie leading by two points?

Too funny.



BTW, you might want to edit your headline.

9. A twelve point swing is "too funny"?

I wouldn't say that.

[Major Hogwash]

3. Sanders will win in Idaho, easily.

We rejected Hillary in 2008, and we're berning to do it again this year!!!

4. So what?

Few delegates to be had. It's one of those red states Bernie and his supporters say doesn't matter. And him essentially tying her is not going to bring him the nomination. Personally, as a Clinton supporter I couldn't care less. But if it makes you happy I am happy for you.

6. I think it has some significance.

If only for the fact the Northwestern Front operate there and Bernie is a Jew.

19. One doubts white supremecists are participating

in the Democatic caucus process.

5. Go, Bernie GO!!

[Chichiri]

7. Sanders' target is 14/23 delegates, or 61%. nt

8. So 112% of Iowans were polled?

15. FOX news math?

10. He's getting quite good at picking up these small, homogenous states.

The problem for Sanders is that HRC more than makes it up with a single win in places like TX, LA, SC and soon FL, MI, IL, NY, etc.

11. Think you have it backwards - the states are picking Sanders. Don't worry, Hillary will always have

the Deep South.

[Joe the Revelator]

12. Hillary, so far, as been strong in one geographic part of the country.

[Attorney in Texas]

13. The LEAST Progressive geographic part of the country.

[Bleacher Creature]

14. It has nothing to do with geography.

But, of course, you know that already.

Democratic bastions in places like Georgia (which produce people like John Lewis and Hank Johnson) and Texas (which produce people like Sheila Jackson Lee, Lloyd Doggett, and Eddie Bernice Johnson) are no less progressive than any other Democratic strongholds. That's what Clinton won.

Fortunately, you're about to be proven wrong with evidence that even the most hardcore Sanders supporter won't be able to deny.

16. You might want to edit the thread title.

It doesn't match the story at the link.

17. The thread title is the numbers from the poll and a quote from the accompanying article, but thanks

for your suggestion!

[KingFlorez]

20. 57% to 55% is nonsensical and mathematically impossible

The article does not say anything so damned ignorant for crap's sake.

21. I thought the quote was being questions. I fixed the typo.

[liberal_at_heart]

18. I love it. Everywhere he goes he shrinks the gap.
