Prestigious ABC-WAPO Poll - Clinton Favorability Among Democrats 84% -15%

Prestigious ABC-WAPO Poll - Clinton Favorability Among all Democratss 84% -15% /Among Non -White Democrats 92% *











Clinton continues to receive overwhelmingly positive ratings from Democrats nationally, with 84 percent rating her favorably and 15 percent unfavorably — almost identical to her 83-14 split in November. Sanders is rated positively by a 58-31 margin — also very similar to a 54-25 margin in the previous survey.

...


National impressions have the potential to shift after early nomination contests in Iowa and New Hampshire; polls show Sanders and Clinton in a tight race in Iowa, while Sanders has an apparent lead in New Hampshire. It's unclear how much Sanders appeal will extend beyond these early contests, including states with large African American and Hispanics populations who have been more supportive of Clinton this cycle.

Sanders appears to have made some gains with African-American, Hispanic and other non-white Democrats, however. By 51 percent to 32 percent, more non-white Democrats offer favorable than unfavorable impressions of Sanders, compared with a 36-29 favorable-unfavorable split in October and 41-31 margin in November.

Clinton still outpaces Sanders across all demographic subgroups of Democrats — most notably, non-whites (92 percent favorable) and liberals, with whom 88 percent rate Clinton positively and 74 percent say the same of Sanders. But Clinton's advantage in favorable ratings is clearest among moderate and conservative Democrats, among whom 80 percent give Clinton favorable marks but only 41 percent rate Sanders positively.

* Those are Obama numbers among non-white Democrats. Her overall favorable/unfavorable is 48%/49%. That is higher than all the other candidates on both sides of the aisle for president

1) A meeting to determine the confusing arrow on the shirt. It looks like it is pointing left, but if one were wearing it wouldn't it be pointing right. That confusion must be cleared up first.

2) The Sane Progressive has yet to unskew this. Give it until the end of the day please.

Before anyone asks Bernie is 48-44% but he hasn't been beat up in the press for twenty years.

^snip^

Sanders also has a big lead on favorability as likely Democratic Caucus participants give him an 87 - 3 percent favorability rating, compared to Clinton's 74 - 21 percent score.




Iowans are always ahead of the curve. The rest of the nation will catch up.


Edit to add a chart that shows her net negative favorable numbers nationwide for the GE.

Clinton Fav/Unfav at 49%/48% with only 3% undecided

Sanders Fav/Unfav at 44%/40% with 16% undecided

Assume an even split and the finals are:

Clinton 50.5%/49.5%

Sanders 52%/48%

Clinton has been beat up by the press and by the Rethugs for twenty five years and Sanders has been either ignored or treated with kid gloves.

It doesn't take a Masters In Public Policy from the Kennedy School to divine what Sanders' favorable/unfavorables will be when they start beating him up.
