Hillary's Had a Really Good Month
The presidential candidate has seen her positive perception among Democrats spike, meaning Bernie Sanders has a lot of work to do.

As Hillary Clinton surges ahead in favorability, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., can't seem to gain any traction.

Democrats are really, really starting to like Hillary Clinton.

The front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination has seen her net favorable rating jump 14 points among Democrats and those who lean to the left since the first Democratic debate in October, while her top competitor – Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont – has seen his own rating stay fairly stagnant, according to Gallup polling released this week. Both candidates, along with former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, will take the stage again Saturday in Iowa for the second official debate of the Democratic primary.

Since the Oct. 13 debate, which was largely deemed a Clinton win, the former secretary of state has not only ridden a high from her performance that night, she also was able to maintain her cool – and again come out on top from a political perspective – while under fire during a marathon hearing before Congress on the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.


According to Gallup, Clinton now has a 63 percent net favorable rating among those on the left, up from 49 percent just before the debate. Her current tally is her highest since Gallup began tracking views of the candidates in July.

The chart reflects the newest Gallup favorable rankings, collected Oct.25-Nov.7, 2015.

Sanders, though, has a lot of work to do.

While many Democrats were impressed with his debate performance, he apparently didn't do enough to change opinions of him. Since just before the debate, his net favorable rating has dropped 1 percentage point to 38..........................

3. Like deck chairs on the Hindenburg

You do realize the misrepresentation that graph gives right?

4. 2016 is a big test, and we may not succeed.

Business as usual seems to be what most Democrats want, at least according to these polls. A real systems change will depend upon first electing someone outside the conventional polling/endorsement/media arena, and most Dems don't seem to be comfortable with that idea.

Although "comfort" is really the last thing we can afford if we REALLY want to turn it around.

8. Are you thinking status quo, like three bills sponsored in twenty five years getting passed?

[Ron Green]

11. Nah - I'm not thinking about what you're thinking about.

12. you bet. Slow but sure.

7. Stagnant?

After the dip, Hillary is almost back to where she was two months ago, while Sanders has been seeing steady gains.

The Sanders line needs to reach a plateau soon or Hillary is in trouble.

9. I had heard as soon as the debates start and people gets to know Sanders then he will surge in the

polls, I did not see that surge in the polls and in Iowa and NH the numbers has gone bad for Sanders, the two states where he was leading, what happened?
