The Third Democratic Debate: The Force is With Her

You might have missed it if you were out watching Star Wars, but the Force was with Hillary as she once again displayed her formidable command of world affairs in the third Democratic debate, while Bernie failed to adjust to the post-Paris/San Bernadino state of play in the world and in the campaigns.

What Happened in Vegas: a Tea Party for Two

A fizzle for Trump versus Cruz, but lots of action elsewhere. Plenty of candidates helped themselves, as we head into the stretch drive. And some didn't...

Outsiders Fading, Insiders Rising...with One Exception (and Does Bernie Have One More Kick Left?)

Ah, the expected pattern finally emerges, outsiders falling in the polls, traditional politicians on the rise. Oh, with one exception. And yes, Hillary had a great October, but is Bernie revving up for one more run up the charts?

Bernie Sanders has no fight in him; he'd rather be admired than win

If Bernie wants to win, he needs to take on Hillary. The "emails" comments are very telling. He does not appear to have it in him to go after Hillary the way he needs to if he really wants to win.

PPP Poll Has Hillary Easily Winning 2nd Dem Debate. And This is a Real Poll. Not an Internet Poll.

A Public Policy Polling survey of Democratic primary voters nationally who watched tonight’s debate finds that it reinforced Hillary Clinton’s front runner status. Viewers overwhelmingly think she won the debate, and particularly trust her over the rest of the Democratic field when it comes to issues of national security.

Key findings from the survey include:

-67% of voters think Clinton won the debate, to 20% for Bernie Sanders and 7% for Martin O’Malley. On a related note 63% of viewers said the debate gave them a more positive opinion of Clinton, compared to 41% who said it gave them a more positive opinion of Sanders, and 37% who said it gave them a more positive opinion of O’Malley.

-Clinton is by a wide margin the candidate debate watchers trust the most on national security issues. 75% say they have the most faith in Clinton on that front, compared to only 17% for Sanders, and 5% for O’Malley. National security issues were a primary focus tonight in the aftermath of yesterday’s tragedy in France, and Democratic voters by far and away trust Clinton the most on that issue.

-What’s particularly striking is how universal the sentiment that Clinton won the debate tonight is among all the different groups within the Democratic Party. 86% of African Americans, 73% of women, 70% of moderates, 69% of seniors, 67% of Hispanics, 65% of liberals, 61% of white voters, 58% of men, and 50% of younger voters all think that Clinton was the winner of tonight’s debate.

-Overall among those who watched the debate tonight, 67% say they plan to vote for Clinton in the primary to 25% for Sanders, and 4% for O’Malley.

Clinton came into tonight’s debate as the clear front runner for the Democrats and these numbers make it clear that the debate and particularly Clinton’s strength on national security issues just reinforced her front runner status.

PPP interviewed 510 Democratic primary voters nationally by telephone after the debate who had been pre-screened on Thursday and Friday as planning to watch the debate and willing to give their opinions about it afterward. The survey’s margin of error is +/-4.3%. This research was conducted on behalf of Correct The Record.
