Bernie Sanders Surges Past Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush Implodes in New 2016 Poll

[Bubzer]

Bernie Sanders has moved past Hillary Clinton for the first time in the 2016 presidential campaign, jumping ahead of the former Secretary of State by nine points in New Hampshire.

In a new NBC News/Wall Street journal poll, Sanders sits at 49 percent vs. Clinton’s 38 percent; the poll showed many voters cited Clinton’s personal email use as a problem for them.

As the Vermont Senator surges, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush — once thought to be the shoo-in candidate for the Republicans — fell to 6 percent support in an Iowa poll, 23 points behind frontrunner Donald Trump. The real estate mogul drew 29 percent support while Dr. Ben Carson came in second at 22 percent.

1. And we ain't seen nothing yet! nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

28. We ain't

Bern Baby Bern!

[hifiguy]

85. Nope.

The time will come when the M$M can't ignore him any longer. And that time ticks closer every day.

[beam me up scottie]

2. Outlier! White people! The surge is over! Free stuff!

Did I miss any?

[Bubzer]

3. Volvos?

[beam me up scottie]

5. Yes! Elitist latte sipping Volvo drivers!

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Needs updating, they are subarus now

[beam me up scottie]

9. Ah, I haven't been keeping up with the memes.

I lost track after the He's pro-war!!1! talking points appeared.

My brain shuts down when I read stuff like that.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. I just find then ammusing

[beam me up scottie]

12. They're spinning so fast the debris field is showing up on radar.

[kath]

16. Bwahaha! As someone who lives in Tornado Alley, I really appreciate the metaphor.

[beam me up scottie]

31. Thanks!

Seriously the new technology showing the debris field really helps at night.

Still can't read easy when the sirens are going off though.

[Mnpaul]

48. Unstoppable Volvos

Saw this on Jalopnik this week.

[beam me up scottie]

59. So THAT'S why Bernie fans prefer Volvos!!!

It's obvious that they're trying to intimidate HC supporters who drive flimsy luxury vehicles.

[sabrina 1]

68. Where are they all coming from? In every poll there are more and more of them, all driving volvos

and sipping latte!

[ibegurpard]

13. Bernie supporters are so vicious in their support

It's everywhere...I am viciously sporting a Bernie bumper sticker and there were a bunch of Bernie people viciously gathering signatures to get him on the primary ballot at our Labor Day picnic today. They are unbelievable...and mean!

[beam me up scottie]

14. They even *GASP* wear t-shirts!

It's all part of the plan!

[ibegurpard]

15. their tshirt wearing is sooo vicious..

I can't believe how they do that...everyone knows.

[beam me up scottie]

17. Almost as bad as the vicious button wearers, just LOOK at the evil:

[ibegurpard]

36. They look like they're about to hit the internet

and viciously mob someone!

I hate them!

[mountain grammy]

45. Young faces looking happy and enthusiastic

be still my heart! If these kids get rolling, we're gonna win!

[Fawke Em]

52. That can't be real.

I heard only white people go to his rallies.

There's a black man, an Asian woman and a black woman front and center. I also see some mixed in the crowd.

Photoshop!

[beam me up scottie]

58. White supremacist crowds!

I bet they all have white sheets with pointy hoods in their closets!

[Bubzer]

67. And drive volvos...er... suburus...

I bet they even use "facts" that clearly aren't true because they interfere with the inevitability of HRC.
I mean really...don't these people know she deserves the presidency? Obviously anything that obstructs her entitlement must be false!

Phew... I need to dial back the snark

[Logical]

89. Some of them cheer like crazy people. They scare me. nt

[Puzzledtraveller]

32. Weekend at Bernies!

[beam me up scottie]

34. A long weekend!

[Puzzledtraveller]

54. Haha!

I love it!

[Bubzer]

56. Heheh

[Bubzer]

55. +1

[artislife]

43. *chortle nt

[beam me up scottie]

44. Forgot one: He's only ahead in ONE state!!1!

[hifiguy]

86. Just unicorns.

So here. Without and with wings:

[SonderWoman]

4. OMG Bernie may win his home state!

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. I am sure this will come as a surprise to the SENATOR FROM VERMONT as well

[Bubzer]

69. ...

[Agschmid]

10. Lol.

...

Fail.

[kath]

18. OMFG.

You really are a brilliant one.

[jeff47]

19. It's usually a good idea to take a moment to confirm the attack before making it. (nt)

[SonderWoman]

20. You guys know where NH is in relation to VT?

[Agony]

21. No, where?

[Bubzer]

70. ...

[jeff47]

22. Yes. Do you?

'Cause it isn't his home state......

Nor is it that similar politically. NH is much more libertarian than VT. That's why Gore barely lost it while crushing W in VT.

[dflprincess]

24. Are they next to each other?

Just like Minnesota is next to Wisconsin (on the east) and both Dakotas (on the west).

Yet so little in common.

[sarge43]

29. Yeah, VT is due west of NH, the border is the Connecticut River

VT has the Green Mountains, NH the White Mountains

Monters consider Graniteheads barely evolved primitives. Graniteheads are sure that Monters are slumming Flatlanders.

Vermont: 300,000 cows can't be wrong

New Hampshire: Welcome to NH, leave your money, go home.

Progressive is well liked in VT. NH likes cranky and straight talk.

Anything else?

[bunnies]

62. "New Hampshire: Welcome to NH, leave your money, go home. "

You nailed us!

[sarge43]

73. It's why we like cranky

It really should be "....go away."

[bunnies]

74. Think we could get the state to change our welcome signs?

People leaving NH over the MA border it could see... "Leaving? Good."

edit because apparently I cant form a sentence today.

[sarge43]

76. "Leaving? Good."

I'd vote for that.

[LeftOfWest]

60. Please own your mistake.

Thanks.

n/t. wait..

VT. wait..

Yeah I know where Vermont is in the world.

[cali]

27. good grief. you just keep getting more agitated.

[Bubzer]

57. I seem to recall somone recently saying somthing about not feeding the trolls.

Not sure if it was you, but its good advice

[Fuddnik]

30. ?

[Mnpaul]

50. So he is better than Gore?

[Tom Rinaldo]

61. It's too bad Hillary does't have good name recognition outside of New York

And aside foam the obvious that New Hampshire isn't Sander's home state, it speaks well of him that in an area where he is relatively well known that he is doing so well. Chris Christie could only wish for the same in his home state.

[Logical]

90. LOL, how clueless are you? Wiki Bernie and get back to us. nt

[mopinko]

6. iow- the voters echo the echo chamber.

sad. disappointing.

[SoapBox]

23. Just keep on being Bernie, Bernie!

When Bernie talks...people listen.

And then they tell others about Bernie.

Then they all vote for Bernie!

[peacebird]

25. ^^^^this!^^^^

[Bubzer]

71. Yes!

[arcane1]

26. Notice how they try to spin it as being all about the email crap?

When there is no mention of the email topic in the poll itself. "many voters cited Clinton’s personal email use as a problem for them" could mean 12% of them or 99%.

They can't go drawing attention to his super-high favorability and popular positions, now can they?

[tclambert]

33. What? You think policy positions can influence people's political judgments?

Unheard of! They care more about candidates' hair. Or as The Onion says it: the number 1 issue is bullshit.

&index=17&list=PLn2K6rez7mW7AgnNG1jPpkCKodILKr6Ns

(Okay, it's from 2008, but somehow has a timeless quality to it.)

[Bubzer]

79. Love The Onion!

[VanillaRhapsody]

41. Then why does he ONLY have a 5% chance in the General?

[NYC Liberal]

35. Sanders is ahead in one poll in one state! That's it, game over, he's won.

Come on Hillary supporters, guess we'd better pack up now.

[jfern]

37. He's ahead in the last 3 polls in NH

And also the only poll they ever did in VT

[VanillaRhapsody]

40. and STILL he only has a 5% chance in the General!!!!

[shenmue]

46. Two of the smallest states in the country.

[jfern]

47. Don't worry, you guys will start insulting all of the caucus states soon

[davidpdx]

93. Then the red states and the small states

If I recall that's what the Hillary Clinton supporters did in 2008.

[Le Taz Hot]

66. 22,000 plus in Los Angeles.

The man could fill a stadium in Red Bakersfield. He's got California if he wants it.

[Bubzer]

72. +1

He very likely has the whole west coast!

[Bubzer]

80. Yes, but your fellow Hillary supporters used to claim he wouldn't even get one.

[NYC Liberal]

51. Well then, Sanders might win a state. Time to pack it up.

[VanillaRhapsody]

39. with Biden still in it too!

and they think if Biden drops out...Bernie will get half!!!

My sides are killing me!!!

[Le Taz Hot]

65. That'd be a good idea.

Now, on to beating the Republicans.

[Logical]

75. LOL, proud she lost a 30 point lead to obama in 2008? You crack me up! Nt

[NYC Liberal]

81. Sanders is no Obama. Not even close.

Obama had a nearly 70% favorable rating among Democrats around this time in 2007.



Sanders' favorable rating among Democrats is barely 40%.



And after a quarter century in Congress, Sanders has done so little that over 50% of Democrats either have no opinion about him, or have no idea who he is.

Obama had been in Congress for just over 2 years and yet only 14% of Democrats didn't know who he was.

Try again.

[Logical]

82. But Hillary is still Hillary. That is your issue. nt

[NYC Liberal]

83. And that's exactly why I'm voting for her.

[Logical]

84. Get ready for disappointment. Lose the General if she is the nominee. She just paid off the 2008....

debt in 2012.

At least she pulled herself out of poverty after her and Bill left the whitehouse.

[hifiguy]

87. Not difficult when you get $250,000 per speech

to tell your bank$ter owners what they want to hear: that she's for business as usual for the bank$ter$.

[Logical]

88. So true! nt

[NYC Liberal]

91. She will handily beat any Republican running.

She'll definitely do better than Sanders, who after 25 years in office has done so little barely anyone knows who he is.

[Logical]

92. LOL, you hillary people are getting desperate. Don't blame you. After the 2008 failure I would....

be nervous also.

[VanillaRhapsody]

38. Yeah with Biden still in it...

totally legit!

[Owl]

42. Excellent!

[RandySF]

49. At the end of the day

Hillary will be the Democratic nominee and the Republican will be Bush or Walker.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

53. Trying to curse us, are you?

Because she would be even worse as the actual nominee, compared to her ineffective efforts to be inevitable.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

63. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. Mahatma Gandhi

[Romulox]

64. It feels like desperation is setting in amongst Camp Hillary. nt

[Bubzer]

78. You're right. It does have that feel.

I feel it more when her supporters and surrogates start making things up and attacking Bernie supporters.

[VanillaRhapsody]

77. Desperation?

74% in the Primary....57% in the General....desperation indeed!

You realize this is WITH Joe Biden right?


Now lets take a look at how she did in Georgia and Florida....you know....those states that actually have PoC....

How did she do there? She kicked ass!
