JUST IN: National Democratic Poll Just Released Has The Political World Stunned (Bipartisan Report)

[BigBearJohn]

As the New York primary draws near, things are really beginning to heat up between both democratic presidential candidates. So far, Clinton has led the pack, appearing to be a shoe-in for the party’s nomination this summer. But it may not be time to discount Bernie Sanders just yet. This week Senator Sanders drew quite a bit of attention from the media after the New York Transit Workers Union endorsed his presidential campaign on Wednesday. Later on in the day the Vermont Senator joined 40,000 Verizon employees as they went on strike in Brooklyn, NY. He also drew a crowd of an estimated 27,000 supporters at New York City’s Washington Square Park at a rally in preparation for next Tuesday’s primary.

Clinton currently leads Sanders by 2 percent, with 48 percent of voters in favor of the former Secretary of State, and 46 in favor of Sanders, respectively. The numbers can be compared with the results released on March 16th, when there was a 13-point gap between Clinton and Sanders. Clinton was favored by 55 percent of voters, with Sanders weighing in at 42 percent, respectively.

The Fox News poll also shows how Sen. Sanders would fare in the general election, should he receive the party nomination. The poll found voters in favor of Sanders over all three Republican candidates, ranking best against Donald Trump. 53 percent of voters said they would choose Sanders if the general election were between him and Trump, with 39 percent saying they would support Trump.

According to The Hill, the Fox News poll is consistent with most other nationally recognized polls that also show Sanders gaining ground on Clinton’s lead. So, while many people buzz about Clinton and her ability to take on Donald Trump next fall, it may well be a smart idea not to discount Sanders just yet.

When asked whether each presidential candidate possessed the integrity necessary to serve effectively as president, Sanders ranked the highest of all presidential candidates with a whopping 70 percent of those polled saying ‘yes,’ he did indeed have the integrity. (NOTE: Gov. John Kasich was not among the options.) 48 percent said Clinton has the integrity needed, but 51 percent answered no.

1. 'Just yet???'

2. I don't believe those FOX/MSNBC/538 assholes.

I think all of those assholes know that polls are used in a run up to an election to push a mantra, so the polls are fixed by the people who buy them.

The polls have been staggeringly wrong w.r.t. Sanders in particular.
To my mind, that shows how the polls are weighted in favor of immense post citizens united funding, rather than an objective norm which takes account of momentum, or reality.

3. Double any #'s they are tossing around

Example, they might say that Sanders is at 35% = Sanders at 70% = L A N D S L I D E !!

As the old saying goes, consider the source and Faux news and too many others are not reliable sources IMO.
