Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton held a 25 point lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in a national poll released Sunday.
Clinton had the support of 59 percent of Democratic primary voters, Sanders had 34 percent and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’ Malley had 2, according to the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll.
The candidates will square off for a debate Sunday at 9 p.m. ET.
The survey was conducted Jan. 9-13 among 400 Democratic primary voters. The margin of error was plus-minus 4.9 percentage points.
So when do we vote nationally again?
Isn’t there some other thing we need to do before that election?

That’s funny and you’re right., Honestly I hate all these polls
Well, either the last two national polls, which showed Bernie within double digits, were way off, or this poll is way off, or her attacks are working and have swung a bunch of voters back her way. All three possibilities seem about equally plausible to me. (And of course it may be some of each).
Usta’ be that polls-- were just that-- polls.
Now? I tend to think of them as advertising.
Commission a poll with wording that will bring the desired response, massage the results, and disseminate it through the MSM-- amplifying the message.
Et voilá-- same effect as a politial ad-- and cheaper too!
