The poll destroys the canard that "Bernie can't win in the GE" <-- this 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #5

The flip side, using some Clinton supporters logic, they MUST vote for Bernie now because Hillary Dustlawyer Nov 2015 #30

then they must also be saying Bernie. Bernie. Bernie. PaulaFarrell Nov 2015 #12

Maybe fewer recs because it had already been posted thesquanderer Nov 2015 #23

"what happens when Bernie gets a barrage of negative ads and lies thrown his way?" 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #9

And practically zero press at all. zeemike Nov 2015 #25

The fact that Hillary attracts so much negative press may or may not be her fault, but it will JDPriestly Nov 2015 #33

Yes, I am surprised at my Republican friends and relatives say about Hillary Bernblu Nov 2015 #63

Zero negative press? In which universe? merrily Nov 2015 #51

Mother Jones has an article and videos of Bernie as mayor of Burlington. JDPriestly Nov 2015 #74

This must be why there is a new anti-polling policy being pushed by conservatives. Todays_Illusion Nov 2015 #7

Perhaps, but actually it isn't just RWers who are questioning our obsession with political polling 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #10

Aaaah....BERNIE must be leading in all those polls, so now they're no good. n/t in_cog_ni_to Nov 2015 #20

Kicking for an extremely important poll! in_cog_ni_to Nov 2015 #19

The same poll has Clinton defeating Trump by a BIGGER landslide, 15 points, and.... George II Nov 2015 #22

I think the indisputable point here is, that this poll destroys the "Bernie can't win the GE" canard 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #24

Exactly. It was a lie from the start, and they knew it n/t arcane1 Nov 2015 #28

The only thing blocking Bernie's path to the WH are the "Third Way" types who dominate the party. reformist2 Nov 2015 #32

Do you seriously think Carson would survive 10-minutes in a debate with Bernie Sanders? 99th_Monkey Nov 2015 #39

Yes -- the same way Ronald Reagan did against Dems who were far superior. pnwmom Nov 2015 #44

I knew Ronald Reagan and Ben Carson is no Ronald Reagan. Lochloosa Nov 2015 #83

I never met him but I saw him every day on TV for 8 years. And I watched pnwmom Nov 2015 #85

Actually, I think Bernie would do very well in a debate with Carson red dog 1 Nov 2015 #48

The Oligarchy won't let Carson win the nomination, period. They will ruin him if necessary. rhett o rick Nov 2015 #65

I think they are ruining him right now... CoffeeCat Nov 2015 #73

yes I agree. nm rhett o rick Nov 2015 #75

Ben Carson 47%, Bernie Sanders 45% Eric J in MN Nov 2015 #40

Thanks for that. red dog 1 Nov 2015 #47

You're welcome. It's strange that the country is so evenly divided Eric J in MN Nov 2015 #71

It's strange that this poll didn't include Carson, since he's polling at the top pnwmom Nov 2015 #43

It's scary how well Carson is doing. I don't want him to be pnwmom Nov 2015 #59

It did. Eric J in MN Nov 2015 #70

Yeah, you really hated posting that. However, Carson is on his way to oblivion, so it's irrelevant. merrily Nov 2015 #53
