Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton holds a sizable lead in the race for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, according to a national poll conducted in the wake of last Tuesday’s Democratic debate in Las Vegas.

Mrs. Clinton had the support of 48 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters in the Monmouth University poll released Monday — up from 42 percent last month.


Sen. Bernie Sanders was at 21 percent, basically the same as his 20 percent support last month. And Vice President Joseph R. Biden was at 17 percent — down from 22 percent last month.

If Mr. Biden’s supporters are reallocated without him in the race, Mrs. Clinton had a 57 percent to 24 percent lead over Mr. Sanders........... .............

HRC walking onto the debate stage Oct 13, 2015

[BootinUp]

1. Is there another source besides Washington Times?

I avoid that rag like the plague.

[Cali_Democrat]

5. Here:

It's not a Washington Times poll, it's a Monmouth University poll:

6. Actually so do I but I did a google search and

I like the headline.

[HerbChestnut]

2. This is at least the 3rd or 4th time this poll has been posted.

Do we really need another one?

[Blue_Adept]

21. Yes

Because that's what GDP does best. repeat things ad nauseum.

[workinclasszero]

3. Awesome Hillary!

[sheshe2]

4. Hillary rocks!

Thanks riversedge.

[riversedge]

8. I am so happy for Hillary and her team. Hard work and practice pays off.

[sheshe2]

9. They are doing everything right.

I was just reading your thread about Hillary in Texas. You are full of positive news today, keep up the good work.

[riversedge]

27. I like to post something positive or what she is doing on the campaign trail--like

where she is or what is saying--or what the folks are asking at her town halls. And photos if available. The Texas event was especially nice for her.

Thanks for your kind words.
Have a good day.

[azurnoir]

7. Isn't this the one taken of people that didn't watch the debate?

[mythology]

10. This poll isn't about who won the debate

That said, I think most other polls show Sanders generally a bit higher.

[Cali_Democrat]

12. Any national poll taken after the debate is going to include some people who didn't watch

Not every Democratic primary voter watched the debate, but that doesn't mean they won't be voting.

Sometimes people are busy and they just can't watch.

[slipslidingaway]

17. 48% did not watch the debate ...

4. "Did you watch any of the Democratic candidates’ debate from Tuesday night, or have you not seen any of it? [If YES: Did you watch the entire debate, watch part of it, or have you just seen clips of it?]"

But I am not going to kick this thread just because the OP likes the title from the Washington Times.

[azurnoir]

19. Isn't that the same percentage that........ oh never mind

[DrBulldog]

22. Far more that 48% did not watch the debate.

15.3 million watched it and yet there are 75,000,000 millennials alone!

[slipslidingaway]

24. And they do not have land lines, we have two millennials who will vote for Sanders ...

but they might be too busy to vote for Clinton as they see her as just another extension of the establishment candidates.

[Romulox]

11. Of what relevance is a national poll to the state-by-state Primary/Caucus system? nt

[DesertRat]

13. k&r

[smiley]

14. that's a shame...

She will not do anything to change the course of our world, and it's painful to see that so many people believe she is the answer.

[rnk6670]

16. Agreed

completely

[Old Crow]

20. Agreed.

The American middle class has been getting screwed for 35 years. And yet it appears plenty of middle class people are willing to cast their votes for more of the same.

[smiley]

25. I lost faith in the american political system a long time ago...

But with Bernie I see a chance for real change. Not so much with Hillary. Plus the amount of scandal bullshit we'll have to endure during her term is almost unbearable to think about. It's inevitable the repubs and the m$m will find something to plague our airwaves with. We won't have that problem with Bernie. The may scream socialist, but I'll take that any day over what we'll endure with HRC.

Go Bernie!

[mopinko]

15. but like they say in sports-

that's why you play the GAME.

there is a long way to go yet. but i will be happy w either of them.
or joe, for that matter.

[Persondem]

18. Great news. K & R. nt

[stonecutter357]

23. K&R!

[randys1]
