Done, Over, Kaput, Finished, Baked, Opera Singer warming up

Stunning poll out of Florida shows that Vice President Biden has a bigger lead than he did in South Carolina.

In this poll Sanders doesn't even make viability.

With proportional division of delegates Biden locks it up with a few landslide wins in small states.

A landslide result in a big state like Florida will make it impossible to catch up with small margin wins in other states.

This graph says it all






The most recent prior St. Pete Polls survey, released Feb. 27, showed Biden with 34% over Bloomberg at 25%, Sanders at 13% and Warren at 4%.

The latest results represent a 27% bump in polls for Biden, seemingly fueled by a solid performance Super Tuesday.

Sanders, meanwhile, dropped 2% while Warren rose 1%, all movement that falls within the poll’s 2.3% margin of error.




Poll was taken before Super Tuesday but when compared with other FL polling makes this conclusion:



The poll found remarkable consistency in Biden’s support. The frontrunner held majority support from voters in every demographic regardless of age, race or gender. And his support was solid across Florida media markets.

Similar to national polling, Biden performed strongest among minority voters, winning over 68% of black voters, 69% of Asian voters and 60% of Hispanic voters compared to 58% of White voters.

10. Obviously you have no grasp of proportional allocation of delegates

If Sanders wins Michigan he will net up to a dozen delegates.

With the landslide combination of just Florida and Mississippi Biden. Will have an insurmountable lead that wil be impossible to overcome by a few narrow Sander's victories.

Still not convinced? Biden will take at least 15 states by a larger percentage than Bernie won Vermont. That means that Biden is out performing Sanders best performance in his home state.

There was another thread on the same subject so I let this one die, but you kicked this one to the top and brought it back to life.

Your understanding of how to let a thread die is as profound as your understanding of proportional delegate allocation, in both cases they don't exist.

If you reply you will in fact give the thread new life, I am getting you can't resist.

I don't think this as over because it's not over till all the votes are counted.

But I saw the same thing about Biden after Iowa, NH, and Nevada.
