Bernie Sanders Is Surging While The Media Fixates On Trump And The GOP
By Keith Brekhusmore from Keith Brekhus * Tuesday, August, 4th, 2015 * Politicus
A string of recent polls has shown Donald Trump continuing to gain support, and he has surged to the front of the crowded Republican presidential field. While Trumps gains have been impressive, he is still only commanding between one-fifth and one-fourth of the GOP vote in most polls. In a 17 candidate field that is sufficient to put him out in front, but it doesnt necessarily make him the inevitable nominee, as many Republican voters still have reservations about Trump.
While the press has been fixated on Trumps rise in the Republican race, less attention has been directed towards Sanders surge in the Democratic race. According to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, Sanders has gained 26 percentage points on Hillary Clinton in the past month. That is a remarkable gain in 30 days, although it should be noted that Sanders still trails 59-25 in that contest, compared to 75-15, a month ago.
Sanders, unlike Trump, is not leading his partys primary. However, his polling gains are actually occurring at a faster pace than Trumps advances, and he is commanding about the same level of support within his party as Trump is, though in a much smaller field of candidates.
Trumps momentum is largely confined to inside the Republican primary electorate. His surge has not translated into general election viability. A recent Quinnipiac University poll found that in a national race, Sanders would beat Trump 45-37 percent. Hillary Clinton would defeat Trump by an even greater 48-36 margin.
Trumps increase in polling support has often been called a surge, whereas Bernies momentum has sometimes been coined the Bernie bubble rather than the Sanders surge as if to imply that the bubble is not sustainable and will eventually pop.

(631 posts)I'll bet the one dedicated to life-long principals is Surging, while the other pops his cork to get attention on a daily basis.
Trump will probably quit the race on his own when he has maximized his exposure. The rest of his life he will get to say: "I could have been President, but this country's not big enough for me."
