Sept 23 Fox poll-->Hillary 44; Sanders 30; Biden 18 (Hillary Group)



By Dana Blanton

Published September 23, 2015FoxNews.com


...........On the Democratic side, support for Vice President Joe Biden -- who is still considering a run -- has almost doubled since August. But make no mistake: Hillary Clinton remains the frontrunner.

Trump stays on top with 26 percent among GOP primary voters, followed by Carson at 18 percent. Fiorina and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio are next, tied at 9 percent. All four have gained ground. After the August Fox News debate, Trump had 25 percent, while Carson had 12 percent, Fiorina 5 percent and Rubio 4 percent.



........................

And a big OUCH!


............ Pollpourri

In this year of the outsider, the poll asks voters what would make them more worried about the state of American democracy: a November match-up between another Clinton and another Bush or a race between upstarts Sanders and Trump?

By a 53-39 percent margin, voters say Sanders vs. Trump would be a worse sign for our democracy.


The Fox News poll is based on landline and cell phone interviews with 1,013 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide and was conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R) from September 20-22, 2015. The poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points for all registered voters, and 5 points for Democratic and 4.5 points Republican primary voters.

making her the runaway favorite.

If Bernie's supporters start the healing process with our side he would be first in line for the VP spot, but unfortunately that isn't happening at this time.

4. It is not Sander's doing the wounding, it is some of his fans pining for a revolution they have been

dreaming of since the '60's.

I guess they think Sanders is the last hope of their lifetimes.

I think a lot of Bernie supporters are not democrats in the first place. Lots of them have stated over and over again here on DU that they will not support or vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination.

I will vote for the democratic party candidate be it Bernie, Hillary, O'Malley, Joe, whoever because any of those people would be a million times better than a fascist demagogue like Trump or Cruz.

But lots of Bernie fans pledge to never vote for Hillary even if it guarantees a republican victory.

in Hillary is directing the super pac and without an ounce of proof and we know it is illegal for Hillary to direct the super pac then I can not rule out the fact the supporters of Bernie is not helping Bernie's image. Hillary's selection of a VP will not be selected by DU.

If the revolution would develop anything but a GOP president it would not help the "revolution" stand on the issues, in other words, not voting would be a win for the GOP, yes, help the GOP, this would favor the GOP completely.
