Not the polls. When it comes down to it, aren’t pollsters just a respectable name for political bookies?
Let’s leave it to the voters who sure don’t need to make their decision based upon what a pollster has predicted.

Not individual polls. However, when multiple polls from multiple sources reveal the same trends... then it's pretty clear that things are NOT looking good for Bernie's campaign right now. I'll bet he's stressing out BIG TIME right now.

Mon Mar 9, 2020, 05:31 PM
Mar 2020

Now, the opportunities for a big turnaround do not look good for Bernie. Things are squarely in Biden's court. "Not long ago" there were three other candidates who were splitting and diluting the moderate vote, which gave Bernie the appearance of doing better (even though in reality he was doing worse than in 2016) But now... those three candidates have dropped out, and the voters are coalescing around Biden... there can be no denying of that.

There WILL NOT be an big turnaround moments like that. Biden's got this. It's inevitable. He's our party's nominee. He's the next president of the United States.

My 63%-37% guess I've been plastering all over the place the last coupla days starting to look like maybe a lowball.

Nice to see ol' Michigan come back to its senses after they had a nervous breakdown in November 2016. Maybe some of it will rub off on their next-door neighbor Wisconsin. Don't worry about Pennsylvania.

These 3 former blue defectors alone would be enough in the GE without picking up a few purple states like FL & AZ.

Be afraid, Trump...be VERY afraid. Oh wait, you are...that's what you got impeached for, after all.

Joe Biden holds 24-point lead vs. Bernie Sanders in Michigan primary, Free Press poll says

"Former Vice President Joe Biden, riding a wave of momentum from primaries in South Carolina and Super Tuesday states, comes into Tuesday’s Michigan primary with a 24-point lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders in a new Free Press poll.

If Biden’s 51%-27% lead in the poll, done by EPIC-MRA for the Free Press and its media partners, holds, it would guarantee him a signature victory in Michigan — a battleground state that helped President Donald Trump win the White House four years ago. It could also starve Sanders' formerly front-running campaign of delegates needed for the nomination and call into question how long his effort can remain viable.

“Something happened on Super Tuesday with (other) candidates getting out and people are all of a sudden questioning Bernie’s positions on issues,” said Bernie Porn, pollster for Lansing-based EPIC-MRA, which conducted the survey of 400 likely Democratic primary voters between Wednesday and Friday. “If anything, it may be low in terms of the percentage that Biden may get.”
