Sanders opens up leads in Alaska +14%; Maine +15%; Massachusetts +7%; Vermont +76% (WOW - 76%!)

[Attorney in Texas]

Alaska = Sanders 48%; Clinton 34%

Maine = Sanders 56%; Clinton 41%

Massachusetts = Sanders 49%; Clinton 42%

Vermont = Sanders 86%; Clinton 10%

In addition, there are lots of within the margin-of-error ties and other great signs of progress in Arkansas (wow - Clinton's home state is in play!), Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, with more and more states to be added to the battleground list by the day!

This is exciting!

[jeff47]

4. If you'd like to run with that, then we'll also be talking about Clinton not getting 100% in NY. nt

[gcomeau]

16. Why aren't his numbers higher than ****86%***????

Either that's snark or you need to see a psychologist.

[jeff47]

25. Is Clinton hated in NY?

Again, this is a comparison you do not want to emphasize. 86% is beloved in a political context. And your candidate looks very, very, lacking in her state by comparison.

But please, go ahead and keep going. That way we can start asking questions like "Why do NY voters not like Clinton?"

[daleanime]

56. We have our reasons.....

unfortunately quite a few of them.

[Attorney in Texas]

57. On Wall Street, no, she's much loved; elsewhere in NY, she's not nearly as popular.

[roguevalley]

66. he's had double digits in Alaska for over a month given the last polling. :D

The largest pool of voters are independents so they aren't tied to a party for loyalty issues

[Divernan]

67. My lifelong Dem, upper West Side dtr. calls her the carpetbagger..

[aquart]

145. Really? Never been to New York?

[randys1]

103. If only you could celebrate Bernie without the attacks of Hillary...

so many of you need to see this


http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511267191

[jeff47]

134. It's nice of you to show up after he deleted his attack post.

That way, you can maximize your superiority to us mere mortals that actually read his post.

163. Bernie Sanders Emerging In Some States

I hate to rain on your parade but Nate Silver is not yet predicting Mass because it hasn't been polled enough but he sure sheds light on other states: Clinton's chances in.....
Nevada: 74%
SC..........: >99%
Georgia.......: 79%
OK..............:81%
Tenn...........: 99%
Texas.......... 9%
Virginia........ 8%
Michigan....... 5%
NC...................: 98%

I suspect that in the end, Bernie Sanders' major contribution to what most of us here stand for is going to be to push Hillary Clinton to the left.
I have NO idea ow or why those smiley faces are on where 9's were written and I cannot get them off. They were not intended by me. My intention was to report facts, not demonstrate support of opposition to either candidate here.

[kenfrequed]

18. You do know how absurd that sounds... right?

I mean seriously... do you honestly imagine any candidate gets 100% in a contested primary at any time?

That sort of hyperbole just makes you look silly.

[Logical]

54. The post was self deleted,mhow silly was it? Nt

[jeff47]

58. He was claiming it was awful Sanders wasn't polling at 100%. (nt)

[Logical]

63. You can tell they are getting worried more every day! Nt

[Mnpaul]

142. Bernie does poll at 100%

He won 100% of the counties in Vermont.

[ebayfool]

20. 86%? You sneer at 86%?

Obviously absolutely nuthin' is good enough.

Smh and

[reformist2]

38. They don't make me angry anymore - they now only induce laughter.

[ebayfool]

52. And then cowardly delete the posts so others can't see how bad they look!

So I want to just put it here that the posts mocked Sanders for not getting 100% (rather than the 86% he did get!). Twice. Double down, delete, then bow out. Probably running from a time-out.

[Sheepshank]

99. Interesting

is self deleting this OP cowardly too? http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027367805

or do you have a different standard for Bernie supporters?

[ebayfool]

101. Dunno, I didn't see what was deleted. This one I did. n/t

[George II]

75. So where does Senator Sanders live?

[frylock]

78. Vermont. Where does Secretary Clinton live?

[ebayfool]

81. Vermont. Is there a point you wish to make? n/t

[George II]

96. Point? "Vermont +76% (WOW - 76%!)"

That's a surprise?

And before one of you ask where Clinton lives, she lives in New York, where the electorate in the Bronx is bigger than the entire state of Vermont.

Chances are he'll pull in a whopping 100,000 votes state-wide in Vermont.

[ebayfool]

98. Yes - Sanders 86%; Clinton 10% = 76% lead

The poster I responded to was the one expressing surprise.

And you sneer at an entire state. Again, no surprise.

[George II]

108. No, look again. You responded to me.

I'm not sneering at any state, I'm just putting the poll results from Vermont into perspective.

[ebayfool]

141. I think we gots a 'chain of custody' reply problem!

You asked a question

I answered

So yes, I've looked again.
And yes, I responded to you. As you did to me.

And yes, what you call perspective - I call sneering. You were puckish about an entire state's value.

I'm sure YMMV.

And then I had to go to work, thread interruptus!

[cali]

118. Chances are it will be well over twice that

[tex-wyo-dem]

92. He lives in Vermont were he has either been…

A mayor of the largest city in the state, a congressman or a senator for decades. So to get 86% support means that he must be doing a pretty damn good job for his constituents

[Kittycat]

106. Sounds like my kind of candidate!

[Helen Borg]

149. Where did Bill Clinton live?

[Uncle Joe]

28. There are two big pieces of news in New York.

Hillary only leads Bernie by 21% and Bernie is stronger against Republicans in New York than Hillary.

Loudonville, NY. Hillary Clinton, who has a better favorability rating than Bernie Sanders among Democrats
but a weaker favorability rating among all voters, leads Sanders 55-34 percent in a head-to-head matchup with
New York Democrats. On the Republican side, Donald Trump has the support of 34 percent of New York
GOPers, while Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz each have the support of 16 percent and Chris Christie is the only
other Republican in double digits with 11 percent support, according to a new Siena College poll of New York
State registered voters released today.

Clinton leads six leading Republicans by between
17 and 26 points, while Sanders runs up even bigger
leads of between 22 and 33 points. Almost half of
New Yorkers – including nearly two-thirds of
Democrats – think Clinton will be the next President.
Jobs (42 percent) and keeping America safe
(30 percent) are the top issues.
“Hillary, with a small uptick in her favorability rating
since September, has a solid 21-point lead over
Bernie with Democrats, despite a significant increase
in his favorability rating,” said Siena College pollster
Steven Greenberg. “Sanders has a net 13-point better
favorability rating with all voters than Clinton, while she has a net nine-point better rating among Democrats,”

[wavesofeuphoria]

122. I'm looking forward to Cuomo campaigning for her in NY.

He has his own establishment corruption trouble. He's really not that beloved in NY.

[aquart]

146. Uh. New York votes blue in the presidential.

The election that counts is the NYC primary.

[KingFlorez]

33. Clinton will be accused of fraud if Sanders doesn't make 100%

Wait for it.

[daleanime]

60. Make sure you have plenty of food and water....

that should be quite a wait.

[reformist2]

35. Thanks for the laughs!!

[JonLeibowitz]

43. Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.

[Uncle Joe]

2. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Attorney in Texas.

[jeff47]

6. PPP's last NH poll: Clinton 47, Sanders 44.

You should probably not be counting on their polling quite so much.

[kenfrequed]

24. Bingo!

PPP also had her leading by 8 points in Iowa.

PPP seems absolutely terrible at doing primary race polls.

[Trajan]

112. PPP ...

Is a Clinton operation

[Enthusiast]

117. Just as I suspected.

[Trajan]

121. I may need to pull that back ...

I know I've searched before and found the connection, but I'm not finding it now ...

[Enthusiast]

139. It's fun to say it anyway.

[Trajan]

144. Hah ... Not as fun as nailing them for the real bought and paid for polling

I'll find it another time ....have an awesome night

[Robbins]

29. this alone should disequalife PPP

they had clinton up by 3 and bernie won by 22.they are joke.plus they are being paid by david brock's correct the record.

[LondonReign2]

158. Maybe their MOE was 25 points

[jillan]

12. Superdelegates do not count until the convention - sorry.

[Kalidurga]

15. You can keep going with that if you like.

It's not an argument most people are going to buy though after he wins in Nevada and comes close to a tie in South Carolina. Hillary must win that state by at least 20%.

[Kalidurga]

26. Pft we will know after Saturday's poll what percent of a chance Bernie has to win.

And Hillary can't just comfortably win in Nevada she has to win by a very very large margin.

[cali]

17. Hill is UNELECTABLE. She is viewed as the most dishonest candidate in either party

She is the best GOTV tool for repukes imaginable. And sorry, but hilly's superdelegates are unplugged. Young people and independents won't vote for her. Americans are sick of the Clintons.

[geek tragedy]

42. Sorry, but it's complete horseshit that she's more dishonest than Donald effing Trump. nt

[cali]

47. Not according to polls

[geek tragedy]

49. oops, misread your post, didn't see the "is seen as "--apologies nt

[roguevalley]

68. she's 'more honest than f*ing Trump' ... you do know how bad that sounds, right?

[greymouse]

79. I agree with geek tragedy.

I have nothing good to say about Hillary, but in a dishonesty contest, I am not sure whether she or Trump would come in first.

[DUbeornot2be]

159. Since...

...dishonesty is an either or type of thing... I don't think comparing levels will help her much...

Yes... She is dishonest!!

[jillan]

5. He's up in Arizona too. They reported it on the local news but I have not found the link - yet.

[SheilaT]

7. I'm not sure it makes any sense to still consider

Arkansas a "home state" for Hillary. She didn't grow up there, although she did live there for a number of years and was first lady of the state. But she moved away nearly a quarter century ago, and I'd guess that a lot of voters, especially younger ones, don't feel much of a connection to her and are going to vote the way they would if she'd never lived there.

[CentralMass]

8. Wow.

[WillyT]

9. HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!!

[brooklynite]

11. "But Clinton leads in 10 of the 12 states that vote on March 1....."

Must have missed that part.

[Attorney in Texas]

14. Clinton is dropping while Sanders is rising in those states, and Sanders has time to flip many more!

[roguevalley]

70. I think that the reason she leads until voting is because of the vast ocean of people who don't have

a landline and live on their cell phones. No one can discount bernie winning it all because those voters aren't polled and they skew to him. Hillary's idea of an outreach to younger voters is to go to AOL.

[Kittycat]

110. You've got mail!

[Paulie]

130. I just showed my 9yo that

She's like "What? What is that!?!?" I had to explain that's how we connected to the Internet, and we had no video or iPads either.

[Kittycat]

131. Lol. I did the same!

Mine turns 9 this weekend. He asked what the weird sound was. I said basically the same. He thought it was funny. I wonder what he would have thought about Apple II's?

[Paulie]

132. I powered up my TI-99/4a circa 1983 a couple months ago

Plugged in the Star Trek cartridge and speech synth and she was like "this is so boring!"

[Kittycat]

133. +1

Lol.

[beac]

156. You might enjoy this:

and this:

[Oilwellian]

123. Oh gawd, my 90 yr old parents still have AOL

Never could convince them to use the free browsers available today.

It seems the more people learn about Bernie, the higher his poll numbers go. The momentum is definitely in his favor.

[neverforget]

136. I convinced my 82 year old mother a few years ago to dump AOL.

It took awhile but I did it.

Oh yeah, she's a Bernie supporter!

[morningfog]

30. She will not win 10 of the 12.

Of course, you folks were telling us Bernie would not even make it to have his home state vote. THen we were told, he'd win only one state.

Now he is leading in many and national polls within 2.

[KingFlorez]

31. More like ignored

Any poll that shows Sanders trailing is dismissed as being faked or rigged.

[Attorney in Texas]

55. PPP (a robo-call pollster that has about a 10% pro-Clinton in-house effect) polled only 12 of 14

Super Tuesday states.

PPP skipped Colorado and Minnesota, and the Morning Consult state-by-state survey polling shows Sanders being ahead in both Colorado and Minnesota.

Also, Oklahoma is within the margin of error with Sanders rising and Clinton plummeting.

Polls are never a substitute for votes, but if you were going to make a guess about Super Tuesday based on the polling and the poll trends, the data looks good for Sanders in Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Vermont. Four days later, things look good for Sanders in Kansas (and Nebraska looks like a toss up trending toward Sanders). One day after that (March 6), Sanders looks good in Maine. Two days later, Michigan looks close and trending toward Sanders.

In the next four weeks, you should be prepared for Sanders building on his huge win in New Hampshire with a good chance at wins in Nevada, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Vermont, Kansas, Nebraska, Maine, Michigan, and maybe a few surprises in addition.

[mak3cats]

128. I can't say for certain, but I thought I read somewhere...

...that some of those 12 states hadn't been polled since last fall sometime. So not a true and current picture.

[LondonReign2]

160. I have been assured by wiser minds that Bernie doesn't have the money to compete

with Hillary. So no worries, this is in the bag for Hill.

[Mike__M]

13. So, I have a question . .

is a firewall portable?

[in_cog_ni_to]

44. Heh...since hers is nonexistent, nope!

She's going to have a rude awakening on Super Tuesday. It's going to be painful.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[dchill]

157. Yes, at least as portable as the goal posts HRC is using.

Her path to the coronation is riddled with post-holes.

[Tarc]

19. ERHMAGHERD SEVENTY-SIX PERCENT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Cool stats for one's home turf.

[Attorney in Texas]

40. Sanders is winning his home 87% to 10%; Hillary was ahead just 47% to 42% in December in her home!

[winter is coming]

53. Well, obviously he's well-known in Vermont, so I'd say that huge swing must

represent a collapse of the "unelectable" meme.

[Lucinda]

64. FWIW - she has more of the VT superdelegates than he does. 4 to 2 with 3 uncommitted. :)

And one of Bernie's is Bernie.

The delegate count total is only 26.

http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/VT-D
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Democratic_Party_superdelegates,_2016

[roguevalley]

72. if she tries the super delegate route to circumvent the will of the people she will be very

very sorry.

[Lucinda]

84. Our primaries use a delegate system to determine our nominee. The one with the most wins.

It's just that simple.

[roguevalley]

91. super delegates were designed to end insurgent candidates. I have loathed the system since forever.

[Lucinda]

94. I pretty much agree. I think we could easily go one person one vote. I'm not sure that the reasons

for all these crazy weighted systems in both the primary and GE are really relevant anymore. I understand the point of trying to balance rural and city issues so some people aren't underserved etc, but there really should be a simpler way to conduct an election.

Until someone gets changes made, we are pretty much stuck with what we have.

[secondwind]

93. I agree.

[frylock]

83. How many did she have in 2008?

[SammyWinstonJack]

85. Buying lobbyists super delegates for the nomination, yeah sounds like a Hillary move.

[Lucinda]

87. She isn't buying anyone. That whole attempt at a smear is beyond silly.

The Democratic party is in the process of selecting our nominee. One of them has been raising money for the down ticket races, as they both pledged to do. And as far as people squeeling about her supporting the candidacy of some of those supporting her, thats sort of the point of it all. The whole point is to get Dems elected. Are you new to the party?

[Steven.kelly9850]

125. Un-democratic

No I am not new but the Democratic party is anything but democratic! ! So she is buying votes, it is perfectly okay with the party, the system is designed to stop people like Bernie Sanders, the head of the party said so. They want more people in the party, they even want them at the convention, but they don't want the establishment candidates to have opposition. This is why the Democratic party has gotten by with being Republican lite.

The question is who is in charge of the party, the Democratic voters or the party leaders. So you are right Hillary Clinton is not doing anything wrong, it's just not democratic! !!!

[Oilwellian]

126. I've been in the party long enough to know...

Super Delegates have never usurped the majority vote. If they try it this time, there will be a Republican in the White House.

[urbuddha]

152. No truer words were ever spoken.

It's Bernie or Bust !

[corkhead]

107. You're right, it shows that the more people know Bernie, the more they like him.

How's Hillary doing in her home state(s). Which state does she count as "home" anyway?

[Betty Karlson]

21. If the Vermont numbers play out, Clinton leaves with NO delegates from that state. eom

[Cheese Sandwich]

23. Senators from Maine and Mass. have not yet endorsed either

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

181. The Maine senators are Independent and Republican.

They aren't likely to make endorsements for Democratic candidates.

[Cheese Sandwich]

182. Senator King votes and caucuses with the Dems

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

185. Yes, that is true

but he probably won't say anything about the dem primaries since he is not actually apart of the party. I wouldn't expect it. He might endorse the dem candidate for president once the selection has been made.

[morningfog]

27. Great news. Go for the delegate shut out in Vermont! Hope he holds that 86% +.

[thereismore]

32. AK, ME care about hunting. I think Bernie's reasonable stance on hunting rifles is helping him there

And it will help him in other rural states.

[Laughing Mirror]

34. Clinton 10%

[PonyUp]

39. Why did you do that?

[Laughing Mirror]

41. Why not?

That's what it says in OP. Do you imagine Clinton greeting that news with glee?

[book_worm]

36. Where are you getting some of those polls from as being close?

For instance Arkansas, which you are excited about, the most recent poll has Hillary up by 25. That poll was released yesterday.

[LiberalArkie]

114. I can't see Hillary not winning by 75% in Arkansas especially with the women. The women I knew in

2008 were so pissed that a black man won that they would not vote in the general at all.

[magical thyme]

127. where does the OP mention Arkansas? nt

[AtomicKitten]

37. He's down 2 points in Wisconsin. 45/43.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/01/poll-democrats-wisconsin-218349

[Attorney in Texas]

46. Wisconsin is well within the margin of error with Clinton dropping like a rock as Sanders is soaring

[Blue_In_AK]

45. I've been saying for a while now

that I think Bernie would have a much better chance in Alaska against ANY Republican than Hillary would. "Democrat" is kind of a dirty word up here, but we don't have much of a problem with socialism. See, e.g., the Alaska Permanent Fund. Also Alaska's current governor is an Independent who handily defeated his Republican incumbent opponent last year, so there's that. My Alaska FB friends overwhelmingly support Bernie.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

48. State Education Ranking Shows Vermont #1, South Carolina Last

Does better education make better voters???

[blue neen]

138. Just because you keep saying that over and over again doesn't make it true.

"no surprise here - people who can think (Vermont) vote Sanders"

"South Carolina - not so much..."

"and - red state - who cares - it does not matter"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1230048

[TIME TO PANIC]

59. Hillary seems to do the best in the old Confederate states.

You know, the low-info states where slavery is omitted from the textbooks.

[LiberalArkie]

115. I think they are probably looking at results on how she did in 2008 against a black man.

I really feel this election is about the kids. If they turn out BIG then all bets are off and it is a new game. This is as it should be out is their future that the election is about.

[TIME TO PANIC]

119. I agree; the youth vote is crucial. n/t

[LiberalArkie]

120. I think the kids know that this is their shot at fixing some stuff. It is just so right that

this one really depends on them. It will really tell the old farts like me whether just to shut up and accept life as it is or start jumping for joy as what it might become.

[merrily]

154. Jury results, I was one of those who didn't comment.

This is regional bias. Democrats living in the south shouldn't be facing Trump like smears like "low information" on DU.

170. I'm from the south, so I can speak from first hand experience.

With all the poverty (thanks to republicans and blue dogs) people don't have access to the information they need. This is the only reason Hillary has a southern 'firewall', and it infuriates me!

[SoapBox]

61. K & R!

Go Go Bernie!

[DCBob]

62. Too bad for Senator Sanders most of America looks nothing like any of those states.

Thank goodness!

[pkdu]

65. Forget something there..?

From the Vermont link....But Clinton leads in 10 of the 12 states that vote on March 1.

[Attorney in Texas]

69. Sanders looks strong in 5 of 14 Super Tuesday states. He looks strong in 4 of 6 states a week later,

and Sanders looks strong in 8 out of 8 states in the stretch from March 22 to April 9!

[pkdu]

71. "Looks Strong"...what does that actually mean? nt

[Attorney in Texas]

77. Winning.

[Nyan]

137. The same way he "looked strong" before IW, NH,

and currently "looks strong" in NV, meaning that Hillary has been losing and Bernie has been gaining support.

[pkdu]

147. See post #88

[roguevalley]

74. on land line polls

[George II]

73. Impressive, anything south of Springfield MA?

Other than Alaska (who elected Sarah Palin Governor ) all of those states, and you can throw in New Hampshire too, are no further than 50 miles from Vermont.

I suggest you look at this link to see what the chances are of Sanders winning in all of those other states:

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/primary-forecast/nevada-democratic/

PS - the "battleground" states are what they are, we don't add them to the list by the day.

[Vote2016]

89. The list of battleground states DOES grow because Hillary is free falling as Sanders' support grows

daily so states that were not competitive a month ago are tossups or "lean Sanders" now, and states that "lean Hillary" now will tip toward "lean Sanders" in the coming months.

97. Sanders far outpaces Clinton in gen. election (RealClearPolitics)

So much for Clinton's electability argument:

102. Awesome!

People are finally waking up to Hillary's super pacs are doing it to continue the corporate stronghold on our laws, and no race is better off with her because of it.

105. Sanders will win Indiana (prediction)

Hillary lost IN in 2008 and 2016 Bernie Sanders will have a strong group of volunteers and staff...

For Democrats there are 92 Delegates (I think winner takes all)

[SCantiGOP]

109. WOW !!

WOW !!

Lotta WOWs in posts these days.

Lotta bold letters and ALL CAPS too.

111. We knew that Vermont was a given, but... I still like to see that difference. :) nt

[Jack Rabbit]

113. Forward! Charge those giants!

116. Kicked and recommended! Go, Bernie!

[jonestonesusa]

124. Since New York is Clinton's "home state"

she should match Bernie's Vermont support, wouldn't you think?

Or not???

[Bohunk68]

155. She is roundly detested in Upstate, which is heavy Republican registration.

She is not popular with Upstate Dems, either. We hunt to put venison in our freezers. Bernie understands that.

[Duval]

129. It is exciting and will get even better for Bernie.

[OhZone]

135. I may have been wrong, he might win 5 or 6 states not just 2. n/t

[Ken Burch]

140. Alaska doesn't count...we have NO diversity

[BeanMusical]

150. Kick and R

[Joe Chi Minh]

153. Vermont 86% ? Something wrong - I mean 'right' - with the machines. Not

malfunctioning at all.... Something's badly amiss.

[napnap]

161. I thought Bernie was unelectable?

Love this t-shirt: http://www.redbubble.com/people/jrstees/works/20960624-bernie-sanders-for-president-unelectable

162. Good job, America.

You're listening.

[John Poet]

164. AND Colorado!

I think we'll be seeing more like this as time goes on.

174. Some people dispute this poll, but Predictwise and the state-by-state Morning Consult cross-tabs

also point to an excellent trend in Colorado.

[lark]

165. Those are small states, but still good news.

Wonder how he's doing in the biggies, CA, FL, TX, PA, NY, NJ? I haven't seen any poll results for any of these lately, so truly don't know. I'd expect that he's rising everywhere, but don't have any stats to support this feeling.

[Attorney in Texas]

186. The big states generally have proportional delegate allocation so a win in a big state is not a big

win unless it results in a lopsided delegate allocation.

I suspect that Clinton will do well in ex-Confederate red states and states that share a border with Arkansas. By April 9, Sanders will have erased that early March advantage Clinton will get from the ex-Confederate red states.

167. my hope is up too....

172. What happens if it gets 100,000? Will it roll back to 0 like an old odometer?

[Attorney in Texas]

173. Good question.

[Cheese Sandwich]

178. It went over 100,000. Nothing broke! DU still running.

[Attorney in Texas]

[amborin]

[Faux pas]

176. Kicketty Kickin'

[Attorney in Texas]

177. Add Nevada (+2%) and Colorado to the list of states where Sanders has opened up a lead!

Nevada - 49% to 47%

Colorado - 49% to 43%

[kgnu_fan]

180. good news! nt
