1. Poor O'Malley not much love in his homestate.

[riversedge]

2. not a good day for O'M. To have your homestate kinda shut you down.

[oasis]

3. When Biden bows out O'Malley's numbers will climb significantly.

At least in the home state.

4. What does it it say about Martin O'Malley that his own neighbors aren't voting for him?

I guess Maryland just isn't recommending him for higher office.

It's like a bad job reference when a candidate polls 4% with the voters that know him best.


Somehow Sanders polls at 65% in his home state of Vermont...

8. They're not asking us,

not me and my friends, that's for sure.

5. Before I knew about Bernie I thought O'Malley would be...

Clinton's main challenger. I like a lot of what I have heard about him. I wonder why he's not doing better in his home state.

9. They're not asking us.

13. please explain.

14. I haven't been polled, and haven't heard of any friends/family who have been.

I don't know the size of the polled group referred to here, but I suspect it's not significant, and at this point in the 'race,' I don't think polls are worth much.

Just checked: 'Random sample of 1006 adults,' by telephone.

16. depends on what part of the state is polled

western Md.,for example, while less populated, will be overwhelmingly negative, while Baltimore and PG county, where most of the votes would come from, would be infinitely more supportive (Montgomery county mixed and unpredictable. Pragmatic and establishment voters). Eastern Md. has a sad for O'Malley, as well, but doesn't produce a significant amount of votes.

17. Right. Thanks, bigtree.

[JaneyVee]

6. Sanders trails a non-candidate.

[elleng]

10. so we can see how useful such 'polls' are.

7. Nice to see Hillary topping all the polls

the day before the debate.

[riversedge]

12. I think it gives her and her team a psychological boost.

[workinclasszero]

18. You would think so right?

She goes in knowing she's number 1.

Should give her lots of confidence

11. K&R nt

[Iliyah]

15. K & R

[Dramato]

19. MSM just can't come up with a Hillary-friendly headline

When she is doing badly, the headline is about how badly she is doing.

But if she has a wide lead, the headline is about O’Malley.

[riversedge]

20. k and r for a good day for Hillary
