Expected Poll Results are flowing in....

...in addition to the two Iowa polls showing Hillary Clinton now leading Sanders by 30+ to 40+ points, polls were released today for South Carolina and North Carolina (SC being another early state):

South Carolina: Clinton 43, Sanders 6, O'Malley 1, Clinton +37

North Carolina: Clinton 61, Sanders 24, O'Malley 5, Lessig 2, Clinton +37

Recapping the two Iowa polls earlier today:

Clinton 65, Sanders 24, O'Malley 5, Clinton +41

Loras College Clinton 62, Sanders 24, O'Malley 3, Clinton +38

Can't wait for the first new New Hampshire poll coming in the next day or two.

He was just leading there by 3-5 points a few weeks ago! That is a massive turnaround. Nothing short of astonishing.

I must have not been paying close enough attention to Iowa recently because that is absolutely astonishing. I'm surprised that there has not been alot of coverage of that really dramatic turnaround.

Paid for Media don't want to report the truth, they can't admit the first without the second, therefore it is ignored.

Now, I am a reasonably bright person but I would have not been able to glean that by simply looking at the stars.

I read that in the media. The same media that you are saying "won't admit that he was leading."

Exactly. How would you have known that Bernie was leading inIowa before the debates and how did we all know he was leading in New Hampshire before the debates?

We didn't Devine it from the pace of the wind or the phase of the moon, we got it from the media. The same media that Some reality denying Bernie fans would have you believe weren't reporting on him leading before and now are making it up that Hillary is leading.

..in the CBS/yougov poll by 43-33. That new poll came out today, too, and now Clinton is ahead by 46-43. Makes sense, Clinton probably got most or all of Biden's support.

Since then, these polls have come out, all with Clinton leading:

(Clinton/Sanders/O'Malley)

Monmouth 10/22 - 10/25 400 LV 4.9 65 24 5 Clinton +41
Loras College 10/19 - 10/22 500 LV 4.4 62 24 3 Clinton +38
CBS/YouGov 10/15 - 10/22 554 LV 6.9 46 43 3 Clinton +3
DMR/Bloomberg 10/16 - 10/19 402 LV 4.9 48 41 2 Clinton +7
Quinnipiac 10/14 - 10/20 592 LV 4.0 51 40 4 Clinton +11

This has become a fairly epic spanking and in a relatively short amount of time as well. Or so it seems to me.

I expect the polls taken by the PTB to reflect what they want it to be.
And they have decided that Hillary is the one and they want us to know it is inevitable and that we should all just give up and accept it.
The media is all scripted and the final act is written.

yes, Bernie's coalition of more donors and more followers on social media is really very narrow.
