Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumBreaking.. Sanders surges ahead of Hillary Clinton in second striking New Hampshire poll
A second poll in less than two weeks shows Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) leading former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in New Hampshire.
Sanders leads Clinton, the presumed Democratic front-runner, by 7 points in the Granite State, according to the Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday. A Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll released almost two weeks ago also gave Sanders a 7-point lead.
Taken together, the polls are clear signs that Clinton will face a tougher-than-expected challenge in the first-in-the-nation primary state.
Sanders has become the most popular candidate with his or her base's voters, according to the PPP survey. The poll found that 78% of Granite State Democrats surveyed view him favorably, compared with just 12% who have a negative opinion of him. That compares with 63% of New Hampshire Democrats who have a favorable view of Clinton, compared with 25% who view her negatively.

(15,435 posts)access to much of any politics! Just now checking back in after re-cuperating... we were diving for lobsters and it was fun but some hard work too. We were ALL tired out by the time we got back and then MY A/C was out!!! OMG, the heat is unimaginable!
BUT, back on point... YIPEE!! YAAAAAYY and so happy. Just wish this country would get it's head out of it's ARSE and WAKE UP! I watch FSTV for the most part and some very nasty Wall Street news that MSM doesn't dare talk about. OR, DON'T want to talk about. Still, with our stupid media, THEY may not even be aware of. Anyway, too much to talk about right now other than to say "hold onto your money" a bumpy ride may be coming if TPTB don't start making some REAL corrections.
Gotta run, A/C running right now but UNFORTUNATELY we MUST buy a new one! Talk about spending!!!!???
GO BERNIE!!!

(15,435 posts)Florida Spiny Lobsters, and you only eat the tail. In fact I've never had a Maine lobster that some say are much better, but messier. We did have lots of fun, but getting lobsters aren't as easy as some think. But since we've been going down there for many years they've invented some devices that makes it easier to catch them. They're very fast and can back up under a ledge that you might not want to stick your hand into.
They have a "tickle stick" you can use now that makes it easier, but ya gotta be quick. And the bags have been improved with a plastic opening and zipper bottom. Sometimes in the excitement you forget to put the tail in first and you may lose the "bug" or it's time consuming. And now you have to measure them BEFORE you get back into the boat. Almost the worst part of the whole thing because you don't need to use a tank in shallow water, but having to measure means you have to hold your breath longer. Not sure if it was illegal but we decided we could measure at the back of the boat before we got back into the boat. Hey, who knew???
We used to dive a lot but now only when we go to the Keys... we quickly found muscles we didn't know we had so it was good that there were 9 of us. The guys had to pick up the slack and they had to do the mutilation when we got in. This is the WORST part and I can't deal with it.
But we did well and brought home enough for more lobster dinners to enjoy. OK, not a political story so I had better shut up and say GO BERNIE!

(28,945 posts)I've convinced the hubster (I) that Senator Sanders is the best choice. So, at least two Graniteheads are feelin' the Bern.
I think he will take NH in a big way which will give him even more traction

(15,859 posts)I feel in love with a place in Ashland but theres not a lot of work up there. We just bought a place in Rochester. Oh that I were wealthy enough to live in Portsmouth. Wait. Im a Bernie supporter! Im supposed to be rich, right?
I tell anyone who will listen that the only way I'm leaving here is feet first.
Rich, of course. Don't forget racist and misogynist.

(5,066 posts)this confirms earlier poll.it also starts to show why there are huge crowds for him
This confirms my belief the youth have a candiate in this election like they had in 2008 with Obama and that Is bernie.funny how oldest guy can appeal to the young
and the real bern to hillary is bernie is leading her among under 65 women
I guess soon PPP won't be credable to hillary supporters anymore
If bernie can pull off wins in both Iowa and NH,and i think he can,this becomes whole new race.the last 2 debates the DNC scheduled may actully happen
I don't think Biden entering race would help Hillary too much
SheilaT
(23,156 posts)For what my opinion and observations are worth, I think far too many women supporting Hillary are doing so only because they want a woman President, and haven't taken that close a look at her.
I am sure there are a few over 65 women supporting Bernie.
I think some women aren't looking at Hillary's record and such and are only supporting her because she's a women and feel a women would be better.If it was elizabeth warren i would agree with that but not hillary.
SheilaT
(23,156 posts)mostly with those who get all of their news from TV. Since I don't own a TV, haven't had one now for seven years, that's not a source for my news. I wonder how different I might be if I had one. I like to think I'd be getting most of my news from other sources, but have no way of knowing.

*That Sarah Palin is a WOMAN
*That Kay Baily Hutcheson is a WOMAN
*That mean Jean Schmidt is a Woman (I think)
*That one of the worst War Profiteers in the Senate is Diane Feinstein (a Woman)
*Maggie Iron Drawers Thatcher was a WOMAN who started WARS
I could go on....but you get the picture.
A Woman leader is no sure thing for Peace and Stability.

It scrambles one's imagination that they can claim higher ground on this contest.

(23,730 posts)precisely to bring back the brokerage and smoke-filled rooms systems: modernizing the party and letting the canaille choose were what'd gotten in McGovern and had gotten us Nixon (not that they really minded Nixon, but he's good to scare the voters with)
many of the arguments against the Dem left and Nader weren't that they're interfering in elections, but that they show what happens when there's too much democracy in the system ...

INdemo
(6,994 posts)Bernie was moving ahead in NH and for reasons of trying to stop the Sanders "explosion"convincing Biden to enter the race? I think it's very possible and I also think Hillary interior polling may know more than the public now does about Bernie's momentum surg

INdemo
(6,994 posts)shows Hillary is in trouble. Sure polling may show (the public) that she has this huge lead but if these polls are a little exaggerated than I think the DNC chair thinking is if Biden is convinced to enter then it could slow Bernies stride and keep Hillary above water.
I notice she is now talking about safe issues though and not so much issues that would piss off her Wall St friends.
What ever but we need to get a petition started to get rid of the DNC chair and it should have happen 2 years ago.
She is one step below worthless at being in charge.

(36,988 posts)Breakdown by age groups:
18-45: Bernie 53 - Hillary 25
46-65: Bernie 39- Hillary 32
65+: Bernie 34 - Hillary 51
Now that's revealing In other words, Hillary only leads among people who get their news from television

I get no news from Tv, but I'm not normal I've been told
It's appropriate that the word 'ignorance' is an extension of the word 'ignore.' We ignore so much and so we become ignore-ant which you and I are not.

(5,275 posts)I think Bernie picking up steam is why there has been an effort to bring in Biden from the bullpen.
The plutocrats can obviously live with HRC, but Bernie would not be their friend like Hillary.
Bernie with majorities of real democrats could be FDR2.
