Hillary Clinton has a narrow lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in Nevada ahead of the state’s Democratic caucus on Saturday, according to a CNN/ORC poll released on Wednesday morning.
Among likely caucusgoers, Clinton received 48 percent support and Sanders received 47 percent support.
The only other presidential poll this year in the state, which was released on Friday, showed Clinton and Sanders in a tie, both earning 45 percent support.
TPM’s PollTracker Average shows the two candidates tied at 45 percent.
CNN/ORC surveyed 282 likely Democratic caucusgoers via phone Feb. 10-15 with a margin of error plus or minus 6 percentage points.
Very poor choice of headline. In a poll with 6% moe to say 1 pt is narrow lead is simply misleading. We, your readers, deserve better.
Why is it that every time I talk to a starry eyed Bernie supporter I feel like i’m in an 80’s horror flick? I keep my cool and bring up the whole having to win the general election in a country where a cranky 74 yr old socialist might not be as appealing as you might think. And how the GOP controls the House and Senate and how the White House is the only thing protecting us from the new Dark Ages … But in my head I just want to grab them by their little hipster t-shirts and shake them and and scream “You’re going to get us all killed!”
Or it could be a blow out in either direction ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Forgot your meds this morning?
Hahaha … no.
I actually had a long discussion with a young family member who I care for very much over dinner last night who is in her first election, like apparently most Bernie supporters are, and the lack of depth was just astonishing to me. It seems President Obama has not fought hard enough, the Democrats have not tried hard enough, and the whole country is just going to be soooo inspired to do the right thing when they hear Bernie speak and he’ll will win by a landslide. Oh, and Madeline Albright is a horrid “B” who should keep her mouth shut and Hillary is worse than Mitt Romney. Only Bernie can save America … It was like talking to a Scientologist. No real political points or statistics or even a basic understanding of how the legislative system works, just a lot of blind faith.
