They can no longer play up the "horse race" aspect of the Democratic Primary.

I wonder when Chaffee will drop out?

I mean, he just announced a few hours ago.

I am sure it is very scientific.

bashing to try to drive her numbers down?
I really don't know what is going to happen with the MSM.
My guess is they will start to ignore the Dem primary and pit Hillary against the passengers in the clown car.
That has been the race all these months.

from the anti-Hillary folks. It's been awfully quiet. Maybe that'll change shortly, but they seem to be taken aback by the announcement.

...you see, Biden support in the polls was actually "anti-Hillary", so naturally all those votes will shift to Sanders.

Points for creativity...

very close to actual results, in general. So, yes, I do trust them, especially when margins are large.

of poll results generally provides a pretty accurate assessment for a specific point in time. We'll have some aggregate polls to look at on Monday or Tuesday of next week. The better polls don't come out with instant results. Good polling takes time.

Leveling out on the trust factor also!


Among Democrats, Clinton leads Sanders on who is “closer to you” on the issues by 53 to 36 percent and on who “understands the problems of people like you” by 51 to 37 percent.

Clinton’s weakest attribute among those tested with Democrats came on the question of honesty. Asked who in the field is more honest and trustworthy, 42 percent said Clinton and 41 percent named Sanders.

Where is this "Sander" person from? Is s/he new? What are her/his policies? I never heard of this "Sander" person.

It's about the only plus of living in a solid red state. I can vote my conscience if my primary candidate doesn't win.
