As I've mentioned elsewhere, people who purchase consumer products are influenced by the last voice they hear on a given product. In politics, the product is the candidate. Ads and get-out-the-vote organizations that contact people who might be simpatico re the candidate are ways candidates can nullify negative free media, either in the form of critical journalists or poor debate performances. And that is just what Bloomberg has attempted. He has drowned out negative media impressions with his ads, local pol endorsements and campaign worker contacts. Not everyone can do it because it's prohibitively expensive. But a candidate able to spend billions can, and is getting it done:

All themoneyin the world can’t buy a personality. Bloomberg stunk up the stage again tonight. Even with his hired audience

[lee martell]

Biden is probably backed mostly by people who will vote for a shoehorn if it has the word Democrat stuck to it.

Such voters don’t even bother to really learn what their candidate is saying on issues. They vote straight ticket, no matter what. I have lots of folks in my family like that, still willfully under hypnosis and self delusion.
Ignorant bliss.

Some of this group won’t awaken till their party is fully infiltrated and commandeered by the socialists.

The poll has a margin of error of 5.4%.

Wow.

[Lurkinanloomin]

We need to push Bernie over the top and down their throats.

[familyop]

Many Floridians are from New York or other parts of the northeast, but I’d be surprised to see Bloomberg get more votes than Sanders.

[ConservativeMind]

This is where cross over votes from Republicans for Bernie would make sense.

[MrEdd]

Only ¡YEB! can save us from Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump will never be the Republican nominee.

Polls never lie.

And those polls were every bit as accurate as this one.

[Herakles]

A Jewish guy leading in Flordia, who would have thunk!

[Robert357]

What a beautiful brokered convention we will see where Super Delegates decide the Democratic Primary and determine the Party Candidate. The bloodbath will be a site to behold.

May the Democrats destroy their own party for decades to come.

[caww]

Bloomberg has shown in both debates he’s not into these slap stick performances and prefers staying on issues and reasonable debate that he knows the bimbo’s standing with him lack.....He appeals to the level headed voters who want to see and hear the actual positions of the candidates rather than the cat-fights.

The poll has a margin of error of 5.4%.

So basically they are stating the obvious, it's a 3 man race, but we already know that. We also know that Biden is tumbling. we also know that mini-mike can't debate or deal with average people. We do know that Bernie is a clown and has just enough rabid support to gain a plurality of delegates. What we don't know yet is just how nutzo their convention is going to be.
