Sanders: Polls understating my support in New York

Bernie Sanders urged caution Monday against interpreting polls showing him trailing Hillary Clinton in New York. His argument: We've been here before.

"Those are the public polls. The bottom line is, let's look at the real poll tomorrow," the Vermont senator told NBC's "Today." "Generally speaking, polling has underestimated how we do in elections."

Sanders noted that his campaign was down by as many as 25 points in Michigan before it pulled off the upset victory on March 8.

1. That's right. Public polls have underestimated him all along

And I am certain that Clinton's internal polls are showing her losing. Otherwise the campaign would not go to such underhanded tactics.

... and that includes the ones he didn't do so well at all.

I think it's going to be a tight one.

Remember that a lot more people have seen and heard from Bernie now.

A lot more than had heard from him when we won in Michigan.

Even minority voters have been breaking towards Bernie lately!

But GOTV! I mean it!

appearances, rallies and interviews the polls haven't budged in his favor. But then this is American Pravda for ya.

time. If it's just me I don't mind, but it's not cool if they are doing it to the outspoken progressives here.

What you describe would be pretty standard. They're willing to steal primary elections, they are not beyond manipulating a discussion board.

that it says you are willing to serve on a jury. I had the same complaint a few weeks ago and it turned out that my profile indicated that I wasn't willing to serve on a jury. I fixed it and have been on a number of juries since.

But then I scarcely venture into gdpee, let alone the HRH forum. Just don't see it as particularly constructive.
