Hillary Clinton retakes the lead over Bernie Sanders in Wisconsin

By dailynewsbin | March 23, 2016

The state of Wisconsin appeared to be perhaps the largest state remaining on the democratic primary calendar that Bernie Sanders could win. In last month’s polling he led the state by one percent, a narrow lead within the margin of error, but enough to give him plenty of hope for winning the state. However, brand new polling says that Hillary Clinton has retaken the lead in Wisconsin, and by no small margin.

New polling from Emerson says that Hillary Clinton now leads the state of Wisconsin by six points over Bernie Sanders. It’s not a commanding lead but it suggests that Clinton may be benefiting from the fact that Sanders supporters are beginning to figure out he’s not going to win the nomination anyway, pivoting to her instead. Hillary now leads Bernie by 2.6 million votes, with the majority of states having already voted. But Wisconsin wasn’t going to propel Bernie back into contention even if he did win it.

Democratic delegates are awarded proportionally in all fifty states. So regardless of who wins Wisconsin, if it’s by a close margin, the delegates will be split nearly in half. That means Bernie can’t use it to close the massive gap. And this new polling data says Bernie may fall further behind as a result of Wisconsin anyway. ................

1. DailyNewsBin - couldn't get much more pro-Hillary than that right?

Well, unless you went with Blue Nation Review and Peter Daou.

3. haha. You did not like the numbers for Hillary in WI . So you diss the site. ha ha

So predictable.

[revbones]

5. "oke"?

I'm not sure what you were saying there.

And no, I'm just tired of every article that isn't positively glowing about Hillary be maligned as "right wing" yet people ignore the hypocrisy of citing actual propaganda sites like BNR, etc...

[Tarc]

8. That is that user's modus operandi, judging by the threads initiated today

They don't care about "questionable websites", just the ones that do not report their preferred version of the issues.

2. Finishing even does not help Sanders climb higher on this hill.

[riversedge]

4. And that hill is steep.

6. Caveat: WI is open primary and polling has been terrible with independents this year. Remember MI.

I'm not saying all polling is wrong or bad, but it is just polling, and there are limits to its predictive success.

But I will admit that's a bad sign for a Sanders campaign that needs to take 60% of the vote to be on track for delegates.

15. Yes, I remember MI. 1.6% nt

7. Not a reputable source.

11. Says who? You?? LOL

16. So sayeth ThePhilosopher04, so sayeth the lord. nt

9. I live in Wisconsin-your numbers are bullshit, even in the poorest of the 72 counties. n/t

[riversedge]

10. Menonminee Cty is the poorest --yet it goes Democratic.

At least is always ranks very low on the poverty score.

But that said,they are not my number--they are from a polling company

[bobthedrummer]

14. Vernon County is, by any measure, the poorest riversedge-and throw away so-called predictors/polls

btw, Vernon County is a total mess politically

[riversedge]

18. Whatever. that is not point of the OP. bye

[Sheepshank]

12. The more they get to know him...................

Do they not know him yet?

Or do they know him.

[Jitter65]

13. They may have figured out that what Sanders is promising is too much to be real. All she has to do

is finish close. She can even lose this and keep her putting her delegate lead out of reach.

[AZ Progressive]

17. Too bad we are only a little less than two weeks away from that primary

Thus, this poll is meaningless.

[riversedge]

19. 538 gives Hillary 86% chance of winning WI
