"SNIP................


Hillary Clinton may be struggling against Vermont independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire, but Berniemania hasn’t come to the Sunshine State, according to a Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday.

The former secretary of state and New York U.S. senator dominates the Democratic primary race with 55 percent of the vote. Sanders is a distant second with 18 percent, followed closely by Vice President Joe Biden at 17 percent despite him not running yet.

Despite Sanders’ relatively modest showing against Clinton, it’s actually an increase in 15 percentage points for him since March, PPP’s most recent Democratic presidential survey. Clinton is down 3 points from that poll, with Biden up by 3 points.

PPP reports that the numbers continue to indicate that if Biden enters the race it will hurt Clinton a lot more than it does Sanders. Fifty-four percent of Biden voters say Clinton is their second choice, to 14 percent who say Sanders is. If you reallocate Biden’s voters to their second choice, Clinton’s lead over Sanders in the state goes up to 64/21.

1. Bernie hasn't made a single stop in Florida yet.

His #s are quite good considering. When he campaigns in Florida, his #s will pick up just as they have elsewhere.

6. Yes. I believe so too.

Sanders is up 15% from the last PPP FL poll (w/o campaigning there yet).
And Clinton is down 3% from that same poll btw... (not sure if she's campaigned there either though?)

I guess these numbers tell us little right now, but I very much doubt she will maintain such an overwhelming lead when the campaigns begin in earnest down there.

Time will tell.

7. She hasn't stopped here recently...at least at a public event.

Very likely she's done some $2700/plate dinners in Palm Beach and such.

2. He will win Iowa, New Hampshire and VT

Little else.

3. So did Guilliani

What's your point?

4. I guess my point is that I am a Hillary supporter on a Democratic discussion forum and

she is leading in the polls in an important state. Which is good news. Or am I in the wrong place for that?

5. It is meaningless this far out

You are in the right place but you are about seven months early.

8. From the same poll

"The general election numbers in Florida are generally good for the GOP. The strongest Republican in the state is Carson, who leads Clinton 49/40 and Sanders 48/33. Carson easily has the best net favorability rating with the overall electorate- +20 at 45/25. The second strongest polling Republican is actually Trump who leads her by 6 at 48/42 and who has a similar 47/41 lead over Sanders. Biden polls a tick closer to Trump, trailing by 4 at 47/43. Also leading Clinton by decent sized margins are Fiorina (46/41) and Rubio (48/43). Fiorina (37/31) and Rubio (44/43) join Carson in having positive favorabilities with the full voter pool."
