BAM!! Hillary more Favorable Than Bernie Among Dems!!

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/2/26/1492042/-BAM-Hillary-more-Favorable-Than-Bernie-Among-Dems

By sholmberg



That’s right! Among Dem’s Hillary’s favorable ratings have surged!

Hillary Clinton has reclaimed her position as the best-liked presidential candidate among Democrats and independents who lean Democratic, a sign that her candidacy is recovering a key advantage she recently surrendered to rival Bernie Sanders. Clinton's net favorable score stands at +55 for the week of Feb. 18-24, 2016, a 10-percentage-point increase from her low point recorded over Jan. 27-Feb.10. This latter time period overlapped with her landslide loss to Sanders in the New Hampshire primary. Sanders' net favorable over the past week, by contrast, stands at +44, well below Clinton's score and a steep fall from the +57 he boasted in late January/early February.

networks have devoted themselves to constant coverage of "the outsiders". I think people are sick of looking at both of them, and coming to the conclusion that "there's no there...there".

Remember classical conditioning from your Psych 101 class? Pairing a negative stimulus with something neutral eventually elicits a negative reaction to it as well.

I guess being force-fed his 50 year old "civil rights" dossier, at every turn, hasn't quite broken through. The media & some BS supporters, tried to create a division between young AA's and the AA community at large, but it doesn't seem to have worked here in the South.

sites like Media Matters were pulling peoples' legs when they claimed that BS is underexposed. After all the times he has appeared on MSNBC, on Sunday morning shows, late night shows, and on radio, how can they still say he doesn't get enough airtime? In fact, I've seen him on MSNBC more than HC and the other Democrats probably combined.

she is of the opinion that the only time they mention Hillary is to say something/anything negative. I take her word for it, because she's still on the fence, but from our email communications, I think she'll eventually land firmly with the rest of the family, on Team Hillary.

Apparently, I missed an excellent interview of BS, with Chris Matthews. Sounds like there were finally some tough questions.

Sec of Agriculture Tom Vilsack shares a story at Hillary rallies that he would have never become governor of Iowa without Hillary's early backing. From the Des Moines Register, "Vilsack emphasized Clinton’s loyalty, citing the family connection to his brother-in-law, Tom Bell, who practiced law with Clinton in Washington, D.C. Because of that friendship, he said, she took an interest more than two decades later when Vilsack decided to run for governor in Iowa. She raised money for him when he was underwater in the polls and campaigned for him in Iowa right before the election.

“She is loyal. She is incredibly loyal,” he said.

Not a cent raised for local/state offices and hardly a good word spoken of any Democrat. He deserves to be an island.

I joined to try to discuss strategy if Bernie loses. However as I read the posts and become more familiar with the clientele, and the ToS, it has become apparent that I probably do not belong here at DU and will gracefully exit after all of 50 posts. I wish you all the best, will keep my chin up and try to find a site that's a better fit.

They turned Hillary into the underdog early on, with all their rabid attacks & piling on, which made so many take a second look & rally around her.
