1. What can you say.

Propoganda works.

[brooklynite]

5. Right...because nobody would WANT to vote for her, right?

[rhett o rick]

7. It helps when all the corp-media is pulling for you. nm

[brooklynite]

9. Ah, but YOU were clever enough to see through their plot...the other voters are dumber than you are?

[rhett o rick]

12. If you mean that I don't trust the corp-media, then I agree. Do you trust the corp-media? nm

[Ed Suspicious]

23. That depends on what they're saying, is my guess.

[rhett o rick]

31. Interesting how some are against the corp-media until the media backs their candidate. Same

goes for Citizens United. Now that it will help HRC, all of a sudden it's not so bad. Of course HRC says she is against it but more than willing to take advantage.

[Segami]

33. +1000

Yup!

[d_legendary1]

34. Its the reason why she's using dark money

to stop dark money in politics. Its freakin' genius!

[mcar]

41. Corp-media is pulling for HRC?

[rhett o rick]

46. CNN gave Clinton the middle position on the debate podium and gave her more time.

Even tho the People's of the nation saw that Bernie won handily, the corp-media reported it differently. She is the apple of CorpAmerica's eye. Just ask Goldman-Sachs and her billionaire sponsors.

Sen Sanders stands for the People and HRC stands for Goldman-Sachs and the Wall Street Gang.

[bobbobbins01]

8. Right.

You make a valid point.

[Dawgs]

13. I didn't say that.

Of course.

[oasis]

2. Good. Since Webb is now history, she automatically absorbs

his numbers. The next poll should reflect Hillary's ability to hold her own against the Gowdy Bunch Thursday.

Next week, 50+.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. How many ways can you divide 1%?

[oasis]

4. I see Hillary getting the whole 1% enchilada.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Did Linc drop out yet?

I suspect Sanders will garner the lion's share of his support.

[oasis]

11. Although, Butter and Jam are his constant companions, Chafee's not

toast yet.

[workinclasszero]

10. GO HILLARY!

[Hepburn]

38. Yes, go, Hillary...

...far, far away.

I can see another LDA election in my life.

[Gamecock Lefty]

14. What that Dawg Say?

"Propaganda works?"

I wonder if propaganda was working when BS was leading in New Hampshire? Or maybe that's only when Hillary is leading in the polls?

Make America Even Greater - Elect Hillary!

15. Thanks to some shitty Emerson College poll

[azurnoir]

16. They polled 390 to 403 people with a nearly 5% margin of error

The Emerson College Polling Society poll was conducted from Friday, October 16 through
Saturday, October 17. The polling sample for the Democratic and GOP primaries consisted
of 390 and 403 likely primary voters, respectively, with a margin of error of +/-4.9% and +/-
4.8%, margin of error and 783 registered general election voters with a +/-3.4%, and a 95%
confidence level. Data was collected using an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system.

[jfern]

20. Their error is a lot greater than that

They have Hillary at 68%, and no other poll for months has had her above 56%.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Huh, what...The aggregate contains hundreds of polls going back to antebellum days (sic)

http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-national-democratic-primary

[azurnoir]

24. 167 isn't HUNDREDS

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. You got me there...Your Pyrrhic victories are accumulating/nt

[azurnoir]

36. No victory or defeat as of yet, only mild amusement

[DemocratSinceBirth]

39. Elisabeth Kubler -Ross provides excellent insight into the stages of the grieving prcocess

As a paragon of empathy I will always be a private message away to help you work through the stages.

[azurnoir]

47. what would I be grieving here? the Democratic party that FDR built, that happened 30 years ago

when catching up with the Reagans was the vogue

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Relax, there will be another super duper poll for Hillary to raise it even more.

eom

[jfern]

21. That poll is ridiculously out of line with other recent polls

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. Not if you exclude Joe Biden which they did.

Clinton’s support for the nomination is more than double Sanders’ and triple the unannounced
Biden’s. Leaving Biden out of the equation, she has even more support, 64 percent, compared
with 25 percent for Sanders, with others in the low single digits. That’s improved slightly for
Clinton from a 56-28 percent race vs. Sanders in September.

[jfern]

26. There are other polls without Biden

And they never have her above the mid 50s, so nowhere near 68%.
I found 2 other polls without Biden since the debate, and she was 56% in both.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. This reminds me of talk about nuclear war. How high can you make the rubble bounce?/nt

[jfern]

29. It's just a bad poll that should be ignored.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

30. In all candor I am not a huge fan of that poll or Morning Consult or Ispos Reuters

YouGov is one of the few online polls that doesn't seem dodgy.

[Robbins]

17. You and centrists have won

race is over.we know liberals have no place In Democratic party anymore.

[Ed Suspicious]

19. Polls polls polls polls polls polls polls polls.

[reformist2]

32. It's sort of Twilight Zonish. Everywhere I see enthusiam for Bernie, and none for Hillary. And yet

these polls never change, showing this ,overwhelming, unchanging, silent support for Hillary. But where are these people in the real world???

[d_legendary1]

35. I thought media polls didn't count!

Especially when Bernie was ahead...oh wait...Clinton's ahead?

So they're valid again?

Good to know!

[riversedge]

37. SWEET. Congrats to Hillary and her fabulous team

[riversedge]

40. Clinton's net favorability has improved 18 pts in New Hampshire since August.

Although this is only NH-I think huge jump-I think her favor-ability might be improving Nationally.IMHO.


PublicPolicyPolling ‏@ppppolls 6h6 hours ago

Clinton's net favorability has improved 18 pts in New Hampshire since August. Was +38 (63/25), now +56 (73/17): http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2015/10/clinton-reclaims-nh-lead-trump-still-up-big.html …

42. My understanding is that polls favoring Clinton are inherently flawed

Whereas polls that favor Sanders are true reflections of the will of the people.

[Persondem]

43. Nice news!! Thank you for posting. K & R.nt

[Agschmid]

44. Kick.

[SidDithers]

45. DU rec for pissing off all the right people...nt

48. from yet another concerned Canadian

[Number23]

49. Is THIS the source of the abject PANIC around here the past few days??!

What in the living hell is going on in this forum?? It's absolutely overflowing with screaming, hysterical, half baked OPs that could not be more obvious they were pulled out of someone's ass.

Someone starts an OP fretting about the Dem party "losing" members and seems like 10 posts in, somebody posts a link that just completely refutes that premise with charts and everything and the screaming doesn't dim one bit.

People screaming about loyalty oaths and how voting for Hillary will be the hardest decision of their lives, and actually questioning should the election process be eradicated completely since she's polling so high. How Bernie has already won, gay folks have Stockholm Syndrome, liberals need to leave the Dem party because the US is doomed and everything is run by the oligarchs etc. etc. etc. Man the panic is just THICK up in here.

Usually when it gets like this (which it unfortunately does often) it's usually because of a poll that shows a particular candidate losing. So I figured it had to be this one or the poll that shows that Hillary has recaptured the lead in NH.
