ProChoice Sneak ?@word_34Bernie Sanders has lost 14 points net favorable over the past week with Democrats http://www.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/189611/among-dems-clinton-regains-popularity-advantage-sanders.aspx
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.
...after Sanders' image reached its high mark in late January/early February, it has fallen steadily. His current net favorable is his lowest since late December, a time when Sanders was comparatively less known to many Democrats. Clinton has now taken back her title as the most popular presidential candidate with Democrats, and with her predicted victory in the South Carolina primary Saturday, she appears to be back on a winning trajectory.

(12,471 posts)but I am certain that if they took a poll of ALL voters, that they would find that Hillary's favorables are much lower than they are with the folks in the Democratic Party, who believe her and her mis-statements.

(86,005 posts)...no one expects republicans to view Hillary favorably.
In this primary, however, open contests have attracted republicans to Bernie's side, for whatever reason.

(31,170 posts)I saw a shift the next day in Face Book comments on his sponsored ads. Before then, it was all Bernie people commenting, after that, there were lots and lots of pissed off women posting about finger wagging, and constantly repeating his talking points.

(19,240 posts)Clinton has proven staying power. Most admired women 17 out of the last 20 years. She can easily win an election and a re-election with that kind of durability.
