ANALYSIS: Despite Hillary Clinton's Win in Nevada, Bernie Sanders Continues to Be a Serious Threat



Hillary Clinton regained control of the Democratic race on Saturday. But as a new portrait of a Bernie Sanders voter emerges, she’ll be challenged to keep that control through what could be a very long contest.

(snip)

Yet there’s a flip side. In the most diverse state to vote so far, Sanders pieced together a coalition that draws on both demography and ideology to show he can and likely will challenge Clinton for months to come.

(snip)

Critically, Sanders showed in Nevada that his campaign can reach a different swath of voters. Sanders carried Latino voters by eight percentage points, even though Clinton won two-thirds of Hispanics in the same state eight years ago. Though Sanders lost African-Americans by a 3-1 margin, he’s at least shown that he can win voters who aren’t white.

(snip)

Despite the loss, Sanders has a clear claim on the hearts of Democrats. For voters wanting a candidate who “cares about people like me,” eight in 10 chose Sanders. Among those wanting a candidate who is “honest and trustworthy,” Sanders got 85 percent.

(snip)

That didn’t happen in Nevada. The Democratic race, though, very clearly will have two contenders for a good while.

Still clinging to that flawed entrance poll. Hillary could not have won without winning Latinos. Metric System Feb 2016 #4
Do you have any final numbers breaking down the demographics to dispute it? Uncle Joe Feb 2016 #6
Nobody does. That's the problem with caucuses. We only have the entrance polling. Metric System Feb 2016 #8
Entrance/exit polling is better than having nothing to base your assumption (s) on, despite Uncle Joe Feb 2016 #9
