Bernie Sanderss bad day: New Hampshire editionBy Philip Bump October 21 at 3:16 PM
Early in his surge, back in the beginning of June, Bernie Sanders declared that he would win New Hampshire. At the time, he was far back in national polls and trailing in polls in the state, prompting me to be a little skeptical of the claim. Which was premature. Sanders quickly took the lead in polls in his neighboring state.
In the wake of the Democratic debate, though, that has changed. Since the Oct. 13 match-up, Clinton has surged in the Real Clear Politics polling average -- and in a new WBUR-TV poll, she has taken a four-point lead.
What was once a Clinton rout and then a Sanders firewall is now, for the second time, a close race.

in which Team Sanders wants to be. Much less the position that Sanders bragged about back in June."
Ouch.
Thanks workingclasshero!

(28,270 posts)3. The only places he has done ok in the polls are
Iowa and NH. He is losing ground in NH now, don't know about Iowa.
But these are two small, 90% plus white states. Bernie gets creamed in bigger more diverse states. He has never gotten anywhere with base democratic voters.
All this crap we have to put up with on the Bernie Underground is an illusion of a successful run for president.
Bernie never had a shot at all.
With Joe out of the race I believe the party will move solidly behind Hillary and on to victory in 2016.
