Centrism Has Proven Itself Disastrous For Most Americans-- Which Is Why Bernie Is Going To Be President

The more we see the anti-working class MSNBC personalities and other contemptible pundits attack Bernie, the more he rises in the polls. Literally. Eli Yokley explained it a little differently for Morning Consult readers: Sanders Rises as Primary Voters Grow More Confident About His Chances Against Trump. Morning Consult polled after the Nevada blowout and Bernie already considerable lead grew by 2 points while Biden dropped into third place, confirming his slow Jeb Bush-like decline back into the political oblivion Obama warned him was waiting for him.

Despite the hysterical and desperate efforts of the hated punditocracy and media elites, Democratic primary voters grow more bullish on Bernie’s chances of beating Señor Trumpanzee in November. Morning Consult's poll on Sunday "found 32 percent back Sanders as their first choice for president, widening the gap over former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to 13 percentage points-- his biggest national lead of the campaign. Sanders’ support is up 2 points from a Feb. 20 survey conducted the day after the party’s debate in Las Vegas and up 4 points from a Feb. 12-17 survey conducted after the New Hampshire primary.

At the same time, a separate Morning Consult survey of 954 Democratic primary voters also conducted Sunday found 34 percent said Sanders has the best chance of beating Trump, up 5 points from the post-New Hampshire poll and 11 points higher than the share who identified Bloomberg as the most electable Democratic candidate.

The latest Morning Consult tracking poll also finds Sanders leading the field among black voters for the first time as the race moves to South Carolina, the second successive state with a significant black population that former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign views as a firewall. Thirty-three percent of black Democratic primary voters said they’re backing Sanders, compared with 29 percent who said Biden, within the subsample’s 4-point margin of error.

With Biden at his lowest point since Morning Consult began tracking the race, and no moderate contender solidifying support, Democratic primary voters are increasingly coming to terms with the possibility that Sanders could lead the ticket in November. Among the 69 percent who correctly identified Sanders as the winner in Nevada, a 43 percent plurality said they expect him to be the party’s nominee, up 11 points from the post-New Hampshire poll.

While Sanders’ early victories in the nominating contests have raised alarm bells for some Democrats who fear he could jeopardize gains in the House, chances of taking back the Senate and even of beating Trump, the party’s voters are expressing more confidence in the democratic socialist’s ability to win.

Fifty-two percent of Democratic primary voters who knew Nevada’s victor said they believe Sanders can beat Trump in November-- up 5 points from the share measured immediately following New Hampshire.
