(99,711 posts)Thats according to a survey of the POLITICO Caucus, a bipartisan group of influential strategists, operatives and activists in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, who weighed in immediately following the second Democratic primary debate.
Nearly half of Democrats surveyed said the Vermont senator lost the debate, and only 10 percent of Democrats said he won. Those insiders who said Sanders had the worst night argued that he appeared out of his depth on foreign policy a day after terrorist attacks rocked France. He spent just a few seconds addressing the matter in his opening statement before pivoting to his familiar pitch about the economy, in stark contrast to rival Hillary Clinton, a former secretary of state who devoted her entire statement to the Paris attacks.

Frank Luntz, the guy who crafts talking points for Republicans and does polls, has a warning for Republican candidates after Saturday nights Democratic debate: Hillary Clinton will not be easy to beat.
Luntz warned, If GOP thinks Hillary is easily beatable, theyre wrong Its not just words, but her tone & style are the best Ive seen so far.

Immediately after Saturday night's Democratic debate, CBS News interviewed a nationally representative sample of debate watchers assembled by GfK's Knowledge Panel who identified themselves as Democrats or independents. By a 23 point margin, these debate watchers say Hillary Clinton won the debate. Fifty-one percent say Clinton won, compared to 28 percent who favor Bernie Sanders. Just 7 percent pick Martin O'Malley as the winner. Fourteen percent called it a tie.

(3,649 posts)An "insiders" poll, Frank Luntz, and a poll bought and paid for by Hillary's SuperPAC. You got me. Who knows, maybe people do think that she "won" the debate, but I don't think she came off positively. She's getting backlash from her comments on 9/11, and I have no doubt that her IWR vote will come back to haunt her with ISIS in the forefront. We'll find out what people really think in the next few weeks.

(3,649 posts)That the debate will likely have an impact on national polls. Even in the poll posted in the OP Hillary was leveling off between 50-55%. We'll see where people stand in the next few weeks.

(24,689 posts)No great statements or horrible gaffes that can played over and over again. Few watched it and the media is 100% focused on the terrorism at the moment. It was a non-event.

Leads in the polls for primaries that are held after IA/NH? Check.
Absent strangeness, expect HRC to be the nominee.
