Sanders Takes the Lead for Democratic Nomination, Bloomberg on the Rise

Emerson College Polling ^ | 2/19/20 | Brendan Kane

[Redmen4ever]

A new Emerson College National Poll finds Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders taking the lead, now at 29% support.

[Redmen4ever]

Although not in the headline, Trump is +4 in Job Approval, and fare well in head-to-head match-ups. For example, he leads Biden by 4 points.

[Leaning Right]

The higher Bernie rises in the polls, the more upset the BernieBots are going to be when Bloomberg simply buys the nomination.

[monkeyshine]

I guess Bloomberg is taking the ‘none of the above’ vote, and the ‘whomever can beat Trump vote’, and the former Biden voters who think Biden’s got too much baggage...

... but perhaps most of all, the establishment who are hip to whatever game Bloomberg is playing, e.g., make sure a Socialist doesn’t win the nomination at any price.

I’m not convinced that Bloomberg is in this to be POTUS himself. I think he just wants to be kingmaker.

mini mike Doomberg doesn’t want to be POTUS, he feels its beneath him... he wants Trump out so he can install his own puppet so he’s aiming for a brokered convention so he can buy out all the superdelegates and crazy bernie.

[MtnClimber]

Suddenly the Horrible, Terrible, Nagging Ex Wife (Warren) does not seem like the worst choice.

[rrrod]

Correcto. Bernie’s goose steppers will go crazy.

[Bon mots]

Bloomberg on the rise... like Mary Poppins...

Emerson College? I will bet not one in a ten thousand know anything about this college. It has less than 500 faculty members and less than 5,000 students,situated in Boston. Why should this be important? Answer; it is not. Just another crap shot trying to influence public opinion. Nonsense.

Princess Gray Beaver not mentioned in white man story. Ugh.

Its funny how good ole Quinipiac has Trump under by 6 and losing to everybody by as much as 8%.
Worth noting that Emerson, IBD and Rasmussen were the 3 polling outfits that had Trump in with a good chance of winning in 2016.

None of which has anything whatsoever to do with the accuracy of their polls.

[DoughtyOne]

At 4’ 20”, how could he be anything but on the rise.

[Flash Bazbeaux]

It’s the home of WERS radio. I used to be an avid listener to Ed Slota’s punk/new wave show, Crib Death.

[IgnaciKat]

And don’t forget in that headline, Mayor Pete is sneaking in the rear.

[zaxtres]

No such party as the Democratic Party. There is a Democrat Party made up of demonrats. Therefore the nomination is the Democrat Nomination to select a socialist marxist demonrat.

“The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.”

[Bubba_Leroy]

Bernie and Bloomberg will be the last surviving democrats. Bernie has support of the far left socialist wing of the democrat party and Bloomberg will outspend everyone else.

If Bloomberg manages to buy the democrat nomination, the far left Berniebots will boycott the election. If Bernie gets the nomination the rest of the democrats will secretly vote for Trump.

Pass the popcorn.
