Among Dems, Clinton Regains Popularity Advantage Over Sanders

by Andrew Dugan and Frank Newport
Hillary Clinton has reclaimed her position as the best-liked presidential candidate among Democrats and independents who lean Democratic, a sign that her candidacy is recovering a key advantage she recently surrendered to rival Bernie Sanders. Clinton's net favorable score stands at +55 for the week of Feb. 18-24, 2016, a 10-percentage-point increase from her low point recorded over Jan. 27-Feb.10. This latter time period overlapped with her landslide loss to Sanders in the New Hampshire primary. Sanders' net favorable over the past week, by contrast, stands at +44, well below Clinton's score and a steep fall from the +57 he boasted in late January/early February.
Net Favorable Ratings of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders Among Democrats/Leaners
These results come from Gallup Daily tracking of the images of main presidential candidates, which began in July 2015. The Feb. 18-24 results mark the first time that Gallup is reporting the data using one-week rather than two-week rolling averages.........................

(685 posts)...that as Sanders got more Media coverage time his favorability went down.
I think he's a fine Senator who should stay in the Senate.

(42,862 posts)... this is what comes with scrutiny (fairly or unfairly). And Hillary's numbers are this high EVEN WITH all the scrutiny and SMEARS she's had to endure.

(685 posts)Had he gotten broader coverage earlier. It's curious that his supporters don't connect the dots there. Well, maybe not "curious"...

THEIR preferred sock puppet in office. She would be just as bad (if not worse )
than W.

(1,968 posts)that every Clinton voter has simply been gammoned by the oligarchy (or paid off, reports do differ).
Precisely how that would work is not discussed, nor the fact that information these days is pretty freely available and talked about.

(3,825 posts)I was banned. It wasn't disrespectful, distasteful, or right wing trash l like this. You just keep posting right wing talking points and you expect us to pay attention to you. You don't even have the courtesy to donate to this board. I'm sorry your guy is losing, many that I have supported in the past have too, but I didn't behave with this kind of shit. Go back and learn how to lose gracefully, it's the manly/womanly thing to do. But then, I can't teach you manners, that should have been up to your family.
Another thing that makes me happy today.

(1,968 posts)It's almost as though there's a finite amount of "like" in the world and it's hard for two candidates, together, to break a combined score of 110.
I never really thought of it as a zero-sum game, so I suspect it's an artifact of the competition, not of people deciding they dislike vanilla just because they've learned to like almond.

(218 posts)I sure hope that Bernie's run has inspired a whole new crop of young progressives, young socialists to get out and run for office.
I sure hope that Hillary's win will inspire a whole new crop of young women willing to get out there and take the old men on and prove that women can be effective leaders.
We have got to get the block-headed greedy cave-dwellers out of power. We need the DNC to embrace Bernie's ideas and find a way to help Americans understand that living together is socialism. Working together is socialism.
After this election think of all the angry people left behind. I'm thankful that the Oregon takeover of the bird sanctuary was such a devastating blow for the Bundy boys and their supporters. i truly think that they thought they'd be sparking the next Civil War (Daddy took an oath). There are still a lot of people, many of them at Fox News, who wanted to see a race war so they could blame President Obama.
These are the people we are going to have to corral and calm. And a lot of them have guns. So now is the time for all people with progressive, democratic socialist ideals, to join with the more conservative of the party and figure out how we move FORWARD. It's not going to be easy and some of you will be furious with Hillary...but you have to look at the whole picture. I love Bernie. I respect Hillary (and trust me, that didn't happen all at once) and I think her loss to Obama helped shape her into a more thoughtful woman. I want to see this world survive. I'm not sure it will if Trump and his kind become the new leaders.

(685 posts)I have this theory floating in my head that things won't be as contentious as we experienced in President Obama's years. There's a lot of racist vitriol out there that went unchecked around the dinner table or at the neighborhood barbecue because well maybe there weren't any POC around to hear the offensive talk. But start talking all misogynistic about Hillary and well, there's a good chance there will be some women at your table to call it out ~
Maybe it'll dial down a bit. Just a theory

(3,825 posts)it's been promoted, provoked, placed in the mainstream media on an almost daily basis and people feel that now they can say and do anything they want. I won't say that it is primarily focused in one party, but the Republicans have this nailed down and they created a monster they can no longer contain. It's an ideology that feeds upon itself and it can't be allowed to flourish any longer. Sane people need to step up and take back control and shame those who feed the beast. We have to learn to start believing in voting again and bringing good people into government or this is what we will get. We have state houses full of this crazy shit, so it needs to start from the city and state offices all the way up to the halls of congress in DC. Unless we really being up people from Democratic, Socialist or 3rd parties that are willing to work together and create a place that is healthy and moves this country forward with great ideas, (believe it or not, we once had this), we will stagnate and decline. It's already started and I keep shouting, that electing people who believe in redistricting at the state level with impartial, independent boards has got to happen. We don't have a representative Democracy now, the Republicans have made that their goal for the past 30 years, and this is where we have come to.

(700 posts)how the narrative has changed since Nevada, isn't it?
Before then it was negative Hillary on just about every news source. Now the narrative has changed to what can Bernie win and the ridiculousness that is the Republican Party.
I like this much better!!!

(1,968 posts)I find it very sad that Secretary Clinton is held to an incredibly high standard (honestly even as a male I can smell a bit of misogyny in there, and that means it must stink to high heaven).
Naturally, the media wants a horse race, but every statistician has been screaming that that was more or less over after Nevada (a few more prescient ones said that after Iowa and a -19 underperformance by Sanders).
Now it'll be smooth sailing for a bit until Trump remains dominant (or doesn't), at which point the narrative will shift.
