Yes, he's got a long way to go, but this is good news. Two polls, Yougov and CBS show him with significant gains.

(3,795 posts)And, he seems to have a fairly good chance of winning IA and NH both. If he does that I'd say he has a shot at NV too.
Then, he would most likely do much better in SC ultimately than most people would have ever believed.
Bernie's doing great. Hillary's Hillary.

(5,066 posts)so bernie could do better than this poll suggests.plus race is whole new ballgame when Bernie wins Iowa and NH.and if he can
pull out a win In nevada it gets even more intresting In SC.
It would be Intresting to see SC if bernie wins iowa,NH,and Nevada and Jesse Jackson endorses Bernie like bernie did for him In 1988.

(45,251 posts)his numbers rising are highly suspect, at best. Please disregard all polls that do not show Hillary leading. The fate of America, and especially you and everyone you care about, depends on this. Thank you.

(45,251 posts)I once got a hide for omitting a sarcasm emote when saying elementary school kids were freeloading off taxpayers when they should be out creating jobs. I thought I was doing a version of Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal and the sarcasm emote would only insult the intelligence of DUers. I was mistaken.
Been gun shy since.

(9,522 posts)There is a big gap between the two on who better understands what voters are feeling, and to whom each would listen as president. In Iowa, 91 percent of Democratic voters believe Sanders would pick regular people over big donors. But a majority -- 57 percent -- of Democrats feel that Hillary Clinton would do what big donors want instead of what regular people want, if forced to choose.....
and...
Sanders is more widely seen in Iowa and New Hampshire as the candidate who "gets it" -- that is, understands how people feel. Eighty-five percent say that of Sanders in Iowa and an enormous 95 percent say that of him in New Hampshire. Sixty-five percent describe Clinton that way in Iowa and 60 percent in New Hampshire -- majorities, but nowhere near the numbers Sanders put up.

(41,600 posts)SC will be very close. His poll numbers are going to go through the roof after Iowa and NH...enough to take Nevada and go on take SC or at least come very, very close to winning it.
PEACE
LOVE
