[leftcoastmountains]

-snip-
Hillary Clinton's lead over Bernie Sanders has dwindled from 24 points to just 13 points over the last month.

According to the latest NBC News online survey conducted by SurveyMonkey from Wednesday night through Friday, 42% of Democrats and independents who lean Democrat nationwide support Clinton, compared to 29% who support Sanders. Just five months ago, Clinton led Sanders by 45 points in the April NBC News-SurveyMonkey poll. In spite of this weakening in support, a majority of Democratic voters continue to say they expect Hillary to win the Democratic nomination for president.

1. I think this is due to assuming that the big money will win -

In spite of this weakening in support, a majority of Democratic voters continue to say they expect Hillary to win the Democratic nomination for president.

more than it is due to enthusiasm.

2. I think it's due to all the free publicity

she receives from the media. It's like one huge echo chamber.
Say it often enough and people begin to believe it.

3. Enthusiasm

there seems to be more people resigned than enthusiastic.

4. Exactly.

8. I think this is due to toeing the Party Line. They've been saying the same thing since before Obama

was re-elected in 2012. It's not a prediction or an evaluation: For the last several years, it's been an attempt to create a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Just keep putting one foot in front of the other as you donate, fundraise and volunteer. The polls will take care of themselves.

7. Not this CNN poll obviously which narrows the gap to only 10 points:

Hillary Clinton's lead in the race for the Democratic nomination has fallen to just 10 points, and at the same time, her advantage in hypothetical general election matchups against the top Republican contenders has vanished, a new CNN/ORC poll has found.

The new poll finds Clinton with 37% support among Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters, down 10 points since August, followed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at 27% and Vice President Joe Biden at 20%. Sanders' support is about the same as it was in August, making Biden the only candidate to post significant gains in the last month. His support is up 6 points in the last month as he weighs making a run for the presidency.

6. As long as he continues

To go up, that's all good news! He must win the states to get the nomination and I hope everyone on here is going to help him do that. In Washington state we caucus.
