The question is how much higher. Enough for Bernie to outperform is poll numbers by 3-5 points? Sure.

Enough to erase a double digit polling disadvantage? Not likely.

I like Sanders but I do not think that he is viable in a general election contest where the Kochs will be spending $887 million and the RNC candidate may spend another billion dollars. Money matters in politics and Sanders will not be competitive in a general election contest

So...all the Koch Money ads will go for naught with those who pulled the plug--large amount of young people and also boomers who are sick of the nonsense on commercial TV.

That's what is missing in the current polls. Also, those who have "Caller I.D." on their landline and only answer cell phone from people or numbers they recognize.

Every major election it gets more difficult for the Recognized Pollsters in tracking down a diverse group of people they can poll.

That's why Internet Polls could become more and more significant going forward.

all the dollar is good for is trying to influence the level of participation. You can do an end run around the money, if you have the right message and an honest messenger.

But considering how dreadful Bernie's numbers are in the scientific polls from reputable polling organizations, and how dreary his union endorsements are, it makes perfect sense why so many of Bernie's defenders would be so eager to hang all their hopes on online polls.

Bernie draws massive crowds. hillary doesn't.

But everyone's got their own perspective on what's valid and what's not. I thought I'd add my perspective on online polls. Ultimately, polls still don't matter... polls are, at best, a snap shot of a moment in time with specific individuals. Particularly since most pollsters don't share their complete poling methods... which raises questions of legitimacy.
