Bernie Sanders Takes The Lead In National Polls

We had Bernie Sanders on the program yesterday. Now he’s overtaken Hillary Clinton in national polls. Coincidence? Probably. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"In a new Bloomberg poll conducted by Selzer & Co., Bernie Sanders has a slight national edge over Hillary Clinton, earning 49 percent of support to Clinton's 48. This is only the second poll ever to show Sanders with a lead of any sort, and is at odds with other recent polls showing Clinton with a double-digit lead. But it's clear that it accurately reflects one facet of the Democratic race: Sanders and Clinton are in a tough, evenly fought contest and will likely continue to be.*

What's interesting about the new Selzer poll is why the race is so close. In theory, Clinton should have run away with it. This was the thinking a year ago today, when Clinton had a 54-point lead over Sanders. But over time that lead narrowed and narrowed and narrowed, leading us to this point. The reason? The economy.”*

"Don't be a Debbie downer" has a new meaning since this election started...

[kathcasey]

What I don't understand is that 10s of thousands attend Bernie rallys. Hillary rallys look like they MIGHT fill a small church. Where are all her voters coming from?

Most people don't have much faith in the average American voter, most of whom are still picking Clinton. Please prove us wrong and vote for the Bernie!

[joeblow]

One week ago I put a "Bernie" bumper sticker on my pick up truck, and since then I drove the truck to my local grocery store twice - where everyone could see it. Only two days later, Bernie is leading in the polls. Obviously....
