Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders nationally by just two points in the Democratic presidential race, according to results from a brand-new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Clinton gets support from 50 percent of Democratic primary voters, while Sanders gets support from 48 percent. That's down from Clinton's nine-point advantage a month ago, 53 percent to 44 percent.

Crooked Hillary is getting so beat up and embarrassed by this communist clown. He is such a knee slapping joke and she looses 7 out of the last 8? In New York there are so many parasites in New Your City that she will barely win but Crooked Hillary is doomed in the General against Trump. ( She would badly beat Lyin Ted) . Trump is only 2 points behind her and he hasn’t even started on crooked Hillary yet!!

Yes, this is why voters should have to pass some form of sanity and IQ test. The last two elections PROVED the need.

Maybe the Democrats can reach back to the other candidates who for whatever reason dropped out long ago, and pick up on Jim Webb, probably the most honorable of the persons that even threw their hat into the ring for the Democrat nomination for the Presidency.

However, it is my understanding that Jim Webb reflects NO constituency within the Democrat party. He would resonate with a lot of actual Americans.

The problem with these polls is that they never account for all the dead people or the virtual voters who reliable vote in big numbers for the democrat machine’s candidate.

Doesn’t matter. She has the super delegates locked up.

Larry David should take credit for at least 10% of Bernie’s poll numbers

Her delegate lead is so huge that she’s still guaranteed to win.

There’s no winner take alls on the Dem side, and the superdelegates are not going to switch to Bernie.

Not me; Bernie Sanders can go to Hell.

Yeah, yeah, "Sanders would be easier to beat in November." That's the same crap the conservative blogosphere said about Obama during the Clinton-Obama Democratic Party primary in 2008. How did that work out?

Yeah, but she's going to mop the floor with Donald Trump.

It might seem crazy but:

1. The more people see of Bernie, the more these Democrats like him.,

2. The more people see of Hillary, the less they like her.

Add it all up, and Bernie being the last man standing against the unpopular Hillary, is rising in the polls.

If at the end of the primaries, Hillary has a lead in delegates only because the Super delegates tip the balance to her, will we see a civil war in the Democrat party??:?

She's been going after the super delegates for about a year now. A real hush hush game.

That's why she was no where to be found and didn't seem to be campaigning. She was doing the backroom approach and pocketing those super delegates.

Me too, but even if he does Madam Benghazi will be given twice as many delegates. Voting is only for show these days.

Jim Webb should have abandoned the Democrat Party a LOOOOONG time ago.

Everyone else with a brain has.

Or could we see other candidates enter, even from past years?

Could they recycle Al Gore or John Kerry into the mix? Along with Joe Biden and Eliz. Pocahontas Warren???

Wouldn’t it be funny if there’s a brokered convention for Democrats at what was supposed to be Hillary’s coronation.

Hillary had the super delegates locked up in’08. Then they defected to Obama. You can look it up; it really happened.

You've got that nailed. Bernie is where all of the political currents in this country are headed (God help us all).

The best case scenario is Sanders winning the popular vote and the delegates, and Hillary steal it with Superdelegates.
