New Poll Shows Clinton, Sanders Tied -- Hillary's Lead Totally Evaporates In 6 Weeks

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

The more people see Hillary and Bernie head-to-head, the more people like Bernie.

People are starting to get it. They understand the system has morphed into a rigged fraud, and they understand that Sanders really, desperately wants to change it. As much as I disagree with a lot of Sanders' solutions (his economic statism for example), he clearly despises the status quo, and for many of the right reasons.

Sanders is a revolutionary-type candidate, while Clinton is running to be just another placeholder for Wall Street and oligarchical interests.

So as the American public starts to understand its choices, people are coming around. The Hill reports the following as relates to the shocking results of Quinnipiac's latest poll:

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has dramatically cut into the nationwide lead of primary rival Hillary Clinton, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.

 

The poll released Friday finds Clinton leading the race with 44 percent support, compared to 42 percent support for Sanders, within the survey's margin of error.

 

The last iteration of the poll in December had Clinton leading Sanders nationwide by a 61-30 point margin.

 

The poll also finds that Sanders matches up better with top Republican primary candidates than Clinton.

 

In head-to-head matchups the Vermont senator leads GOP front-runner Donald Trump by 10 points, edges Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) by 4 points

and ties Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).

 

While Clinton still tops Trump by 5 points, she ties Cruz and trails Rubio by 7 points.

 

The poll also finds that Clinton has a 17-point unfavorable rating, only besting Trump in that category, who has a 25-point unfavorable rating.

Simply amazing.

The gains for Bernie are nowhere more evident than in the gaping divergence between the Crony Capitalist and the Seething Socialist in New Hampshire...

“They understand the system has morphed into a rigged fraud, and they understand that Sanders really, desperately wants to change it.”

Of course he wants to change it. He is a communist, a capitalist hater by definition, and a total misfit for America and its principles. Hitlery really is no different. Same contents, money and power, just a different wrapper. Neither one of them could care less about the country and its people.

Not all changes are good. Many changes make things WORSE than they were before.

Obama comes to mind.

Count them — Hugo Chavez, Khaddafy, Assad, The Castros in Cuba, etc.

All of them “Changed” things too.

Don’t change things for change’s sake. Make sure the change is FOR THE BETTER, NOT WORSE.

Sanders’ policy is the second coming of Hugo Chavez.

As deeply flawed as Hillary is when she is placed next to Sanders, she becomes the adult in the room while Bernie remains the martian interloper.

Half of Democrats don’t like her and don’t want her.

The Bern will crush her in NH next week.

Just flip a quarter and she’ll be back in the lead.

A 74 year old non-adult? This man who went to the Soviet Union in the height of the cold war for his honeymoon still longs for the USSR...

Socialism is mainstream among the Millenials.

Bern has a huge following among young people. Hillary can’t duplicate that appeal.

That’s why she’s fading.

This is great news. She was expecting a coronation, staying above it all while republicans fought to the death in a circus. She would be the reasonable alternative. Now she has to fight in the mud like everyone else. She may have to tack to the left to get more socialist votes. And then she will not be the reasonable alternative.

Be careful what you wish for. I never thought that a guy named Barack Hussein Obama would ever be elected, especially, so soon after 9/11.
The stupidity of a whole lot of Americans can’t be underestimated.

Yup. Brace yourselves because when their younger brothers and sisters start turning 18 we're going to electing out-of-the-closet Socialists at all levels.

I don't support Trump for president, but he deserves a lot of credit for this.

This is playing out very similar to 2008. For months, it was just assumed that Shrillary was on her way to coronation. Then out of nowhere comes this community organizer from Chicago. Once the primaries started, he started winning.
