Latest meme, "Bernie went too negative"?
Seen several articles lately, trying to claim how the campaign's recent "turn towards the low road" is what cost him NY, and hence any chances at the nomination.
Of course there's no way to objectively support this, and they won't bother to try. Because they don't need to. They can say anything they want, and claim his loss as their proof.
Much more interesting is to look at the exit polls.

They tied among whites and among males. She clearly did better among poc and women. And obviously among the pro-Wall Street.
He won on trustworthiness and campaign fairness. For what that was worth.
She won on gun policy, suggesting that her recent attacks against him on that have worked.
So I'm not seeing where in these polls that running a positive campaign helps, or a negative one hurts.
