New poll: Female voters flock to Bernie Sanders from Hillary Clinton

[FreakinDJ]

Bernie Sanders pulled within two points of Hillary Clinton in a stunning new national poll and brought his progressive message to the Vatican just hours after dominating a brawling Brooklyn debate.

Sanders closed a 13-point gap in a Fox News Channel poll last month to just two points, 48-46 percent. The boost came from female voters, a longtime Clinton stronghold. The former secretary of state’s support among women dropped by 11 points, while Sanders’ showing jumped by 9 points.

Sanders still trails Clinton by ranges of 10 to 15 points in the polls in New York. And although the latest polls don’t factor in any gains from Thursday’s debate, Sanders faces an uphill battle to score big in the Empire State. But analysts say the Vermont U.S. senator can spin the primary into a victory if he closes the gap, but he would still face a daunting delegate deficit.

1. The more people learn about Hillary, the less they like her. The more they learn about Bernie ...

... the more they like him.

Hillary's trying to run out the clock on this election, like several other issues.

5. I actually feel the opposite.

Being in my late 40's, Hillary's long been a known commodity. She's had her low points like anyone but she's someone I have enormous respect for, crashing glass ceilings wherever she finds them.

Bernie was an unknown element and the more I learn about him, the more embarrassed I am that he's getting the play he gets. I'll vote for him in November but it will be the most nose-holding vote I ever make.

11. "Crashing glass ceilings"? Name one. And crashes caused by her war vote don't count.

2. Look at all those women going to Hell!

3. We flocked to him here immediately.

The fact that the vast majority of women on DU prefer Bernie is still chapping some hides here. Maybe if they post that essay one more time we'll all go running to Hillary...













I slay me.

8. I would have to be unconscious, or dead.

Okay maybe a lobotomy would do it too.

4. The only battle Bernie faces is DNC voter fraud

With a whole lot of people who already found out they were re-registed as Independent even though they've been Dems their entire voting live, and can't vote on Tuesday. They're chance to fix registration was in Oct 2015.

6. Did you see this from Washington?

9. I think the right term is maybe "election fraud"

It is not the voters who are acting fraudulently, it is those who are running the elections!

10. Yes. thanks for the correction. Election fraud.
