People like Bernie in the same way I like my sketchy uncle. I love him, actually, but wouldn't want him running a bread delivery truck, much less the nation.

Millions more voted for Clinton than Bernie. He lost fair and square by a whopping 12% margin.
It wasn’t fair and square

Bernie got lots of help from russia

mueller wrote an entire section about it in his report (NO COLLUSION)

Great idea!
If there were a 25th Amendment for presidential candidates—that is, a mechanism to remove a physically unfit candidate from the campaign the way there is a constitutional mechanism to unseat a president who can’t “discharge the powers and duties of his office”—we would be talking right now about subtracting Bernie Sanders from the campaign trail until he proves himself physically fit to assume the powers of chief executive of the United States.

Too funny that you repeat this meaningless polling stuff. Not too different from the medium stirring then reading the message in tea leaves floating in a cup to foretell a person's love life.

The only polls that matter are election polls.

Hey, how are you doing with that setting people against each other in Santa Cruz because as you say, "students are the reason rent is so high in that town"?

This is gonna make some here howl, don't shoot the messenger! No dog in the fight, just posting relevant news. Old Bernie ain't doing so bad so far, if he makes it he'll need a good running mate and heir apparent to take on Trump. Liz would be a natural choice for this and to use as a policy wonk for healthcare etc. They are fairly close ideologically and could figure out something, the main thing is to beat Trump and win the GOP senate by the largest margin. Whoever that is is it's up to Americans to decide, so far yer feeling the burn, in some cases it's an arsehole that's burning!;)

Getting the approval of the "Children of the corn" is traditionally an important factor in getting the nomination.

Sanders tops another poll just before the Iowa caucus
Bernie Sanders’s surge in momentum can be clearly seen in his 7-point lead in a January New York Time/Siena College poll.

With the 2020 Iowa caucus just over one week away, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has another favorable Iowa poll under his belt — one in which he’s leading the field by 7 percentage points.

A new New York Times/Siena College poll, taken between January 20-23 and released Saturday, shows Sanders winning 25 percent of the vote in Iowa — a 6 percentage point rise since Siena’s last survey in October.

The poll found the Vermont senator followed by the race’s two moderate frontrunners: former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, with 18 percent support, and former Vice President Joe Biden at 17 percent.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who Siena pollsters found leading the field in October with 22 percent support, saw her polling fall to 15 percent. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), who has seen some increase in her level of support nationally and in early states in recent weeks, was found to be fifth in the state, with 8 percent support. The poll’s margin of error is 4.8 percentage points.

This isn’t the first time Sanders has topped a recent Iowa poll: a Des Moines Register poll released two weeks ago showed Sanders with 20 percent support, 5 percentage points higher than the previous Register poll. He was followed by Warren at 17 percent, Buttigieg at 16 percent, and Biden at 15 percent.

And as Vox’s Ella Nilsen has reported, Sanders seems to be having a moment: He led a national poll for the first time last week, coming in 3 percentage points above habitual national frontrunner Biden, and a January New Hampshire poll conducted by WBUR released Thursday found him first in that state as well, leading the field by 12 percentage points.

That being said, it’s important to note that Iowa caucusgoers — and New Hampshire voters — are notorious for waiting until the last minute to make up their minds, which means that the results of the primary are far from set in stone. Saturday’s Siena poll, for instance, found 39 percent of likely caucusgoers said they haven’t yet made their minds up, a portion of the electorate so large it would be wrong to say there is a definite frontrunner — for now.

Warren’s loss appears to be Sanders’s gain
Biden and Buttigieg’s levels of support among Iowans remained completely stagnant between October and January, according to the Siena pollsters — what changed were Sanders and Warren’s numbers, with Warren’s loss appearing to be Sanders’s gain.
