He's absolutely destroying Hillary in the Pets.com poll, though. NuclearDem Oct 2015 #15
That's right! Hillary is gaining momentum! LondonReign2 Oct 2015 #24
Strange how a candidate's support drops when they're being polled against someone not even running! NuclearDem Oct 2015 #25
Hillary went over the edge long before Biden's support picked up LondonReign2 Oct 2015 #26
His numbers are going up, hers are going down. The trend is quite clear. peacebird Oct 2015 #31

Better than where Obama was in 2008. This debate can be make or break for both campaigns. Can't wait to see what happens.

All I am stating for now. We will see if that changes? Fortunately for me I can live with either candidate. Or Biden for that matter.

Anyone but a Republican my vote.

New CNN National Poll!!! .... Relax everybody.

I pointed out the fact that the just released CNN poll which had the DU GDP board all atwitter with headlines like "Clinton widens lead over Sanders 80%!", had actually resulted in a small narrowing of the RCP composite spread to:
Clinton 43.3 / Sanders 23.8 (Clinton +19.5).
A small net gain for Sanders of 3.7%

In the intervening 2 weeks since that OP, there have been several new polls from USA Today/Suffolk, Pew, IBD/TIPP, and this newest one today from PPP, all of which have been heralded on DU as confirmation of a Clinton turnaround and the stalling of the Sanders surge.

Well folks, the current RCP spread including all these recent polls is:
Clinton 41.6 / Sanders 25.3 (Clinton +16.4)
IOW: Another small net gain for Sanders of +3.1%


Now I say again that these individual polls by different pollsters using different methods simply cannot confirm meaningful trends from day to day or even week to week. It's even doubtful that the longer term composite averages from RCP or Huff Pollster graphs can tell us much about what may happen MONTHS from now.

Suffice to say:

Hillary is still ahead, but on average, her numbers are still falling.
Bernie is still significantly behind her, and on average, his numbers are still rising.
Biden is still not in the race and may be further reducing the meaningfulness of any or all of these National polls, but his numbers are on average going nowhere for the last 3 weeks at least.

Anything can happen - GOTV!

It has slowed slightly, but she is still losing 3.5% per two weeks.

Much as Hillaryites like to say 2016 is different than 2008, it is trending strongly the same way. The more people see Hillary, the less likely they are to vote for her.

Hillary might win if election was held today, the first primaries are months away.... And her numbers continue to slide down, month over month
