Given it's a GOP pollster I think it's fair not to take their poll at face value. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #19

Is that the push poll from the GOP pollster whose clients include(d) Mitt Romney, George W. Bush, and Karl Rove?

If the survey is right -- and remember how hard it is to gauge voter sentiment for caucuses -- it would explain the ludicrous expectation-lowering by the Clinton campaign. Maybe the poll matches their internals.

that showed Bernie quickly gaining and closing the gap on Hillary from a huge deficit.

see how game works? RW media pays for bogus push poll in NV (lots of anti-Clinton Q's), then GOP touts results

FND:
While Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, the Clinton Foundation received millions in foreign donations and did not disclose them, despite her promising President Obama that she would do so. Does this make you more or less likely to support her?

BANK:
Hillary Clinton supported the Wall Street bailout and big banks have given her over $1.6 million dollars in campaign contributions and speaking fees. Does this make you more or less likely to support her?

FBI:
Recently several news organizations have reported that the FBI could indict Hillary Clinton over her handling of her email server. How concerned are you that she could actually face such an indictment?

What honest pollster use questions like these? They're clearly aiming to hurt one candidate.

If the GOP wants to run against her why did they use one of their polling firms to make her look weak in a state where she was supposed to be strong?

Wouldn't they be doing everything to ensure her nomination so they can beat her in the Fall?

But don't try to convince a person to believe something their whole world view depends on not believing.

You say they are faking her numbers and increasing Sanders because they want to run against Sanders. Others say its fake because Sanders has much bigger numbers and they don't want to run against him. I doubt that either is the case because when both sides cry foul about a poll it generally is accurate. But we will see shortly.
