Bernie Sanders grabs lead in California presidential primary poll

Burlington shaped Sanders as Sanders shaped Burlington, so much so that it’s hard to consider one without the other.

Overall, 53% of likely voters give priority to picking the candidate most likely to win; 47% go with the candidate who agrees with them on the issues. The emphasis that Sanders’ backers put on issues gives him a strong position. A question mark for him is whether anything happens between now and the primary that might dampen turnout. Sanders’ lead relies heavily on groups who don’t always show up to cast ballots, including voters younger than 30 — 54% of whom favor Sanders — and Latinos, among whom he leads Biden 38%-18%.Biden leads among some groups that tend to routinely vote, such as voters 65 and older.

After a year-long campaign, voters have a fairly clear sense of the ideologies of the candidates. Asked to rate their own political beliefs and those of the candidates on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the most conservative, likely primary voters place themselves left of center, with an average of 7.2.

Man, that really sucks for page88 and the ! You guys were trying so hard!

Excellent news! However I have this meme and Im gonna use it.

Amongst whom? I’m not voting for him!

Same state that elected Garchetti, Newsom. We really need to look at ourselves in the mirror.

Great. Here come another 4 years of trump. Come on, my state! Do better!

I hope all these polls showing BernieSanders leading are as just as correct as all the polls the press put out in 2016 saying Clinton would beat Trump!! BernieSanders is not a dem and if people don’t open their eyes we will hand the election to Trump!!

tparsi WARNING: Nominating the following is political suicide. JoeBiden can't beat Trump on CORRUPTION & BOTH deported MILLIONS OF LATINOS. ElizabethWarren the elite Ivy League CHEROKEE can't beat Trump on IDENTITY POLITICS. PeteButtigieg w/ 0% BLACK SUPPORT can't be the nominee.

tparsi People of California, if you don’t like the Bern understand that while you are shopping and dispersing the ‘other than’ Bernie vote giving him the guide path to the win. This is how Trump won the Republican primary. Couldn’t get it together btwn Rubio& Bush and ended up w/Trump

Doesn't matter, the DNC has it rigged DNC chair names John Podesta & other Clinton loyalists to Convention Committee, triggering revolt from voters fearing 2016 2.0

Hell yeah!!!! Let’s go!!!

The only thing in Cali that I can’t deal with... DEMOCRATS!

40 years of poor getting poorer and rich getting richer. Dem party corrupt, rep party corrupt...enough is enough. ITrustBernie

PresidentSanders

WajahatAli The bernie spam i get via text on my phone has already made sure i dont vote for him. Besides what good is a president who looks like he will be dead in a year

I hope the LA Times does not try to write hit pieces on him to try to derail him.

Gulags for everyone!

More likely Warren.

shaunking Bernie had dinner in Russia with Putin. He's another old, white rich guy and I'm done with all that.

More BS. Not happening.

Trump2020Landslide

Good. He’s got mine. I normally vote R

I can't read it, I've reached my limit. I guess I read news stories too much.

WajahatAli I'm in CA and no, I won't vote for him in the primary.

WajahatAli Oh dear

shaunking Not this Californian.

Not voting Bernie in the primary because I'd like the Democratic nominee to have a chance against Orange Cheeto Jesus.

Doesn't surprise me...California is socialism. Look at LA and San Francisco. If this commie BernieSanders wins, America will be California. He is a communist

WajahatAli 😂😂😂 socialist! Of course they love him everything is free and you can ride unicorns over the 405.

Nobody called me. NeverBernie

ebruenig

ebruenig Good! We need someone like Bernie. 2016 was Hillary's election, and she bungled it hard. Centrism is politically toxic.

JeffreyAlbanese

Is this like your Feinstein story?

We will see... no votes yet...and quite a few ticked off women

Sanders: Because there’s nothing like ensuring another trump “win!”

What seems like an outlier candidate in much of the country becomes a standard bearer in one of the few states as far left as California. It's likely to regionalize the primary delegate counts and force a contested convention.

As a Republican, I think that's great news! I hope he does get the nomination. It will be the Democrats worst blunder since the George McGovern debacle.

I don’t believe this

As I said, he is a nice guy, but I want my freedom. I do not want the government in every area of my life. A hand up, not a hand out.

The only ones voting for Bernie are kids thinking they are going toget something for free. Adults know that’s not happening

that's right

Nope

Have the locations for the gulags been determined yet?

Centrism’s worst nightmare. Their attacks are only making him stronger.

WajahatAli Nope.

bernie cannot win it's third grade math other candidates believe in the same exact stuff vote for the candidate that can win and end trump a vote for bernie is a vote for trump a vote for bernie is a vote for trump a vote for bernie is a vote for trump please wake up

WajahatAli FFS! Seriously! UGH! Come on CA. Not this narcissistic grifter. 79y old has had a heart attack. We have not seen his full medical records. Geezer could keel over.

Joe Biden just shit his Depends!

ebruenig You guys will try your hardest to change that.

WajahatAli How the fuck does that happen overnight?

WajahatAli Is that like Feinstein saying... ah, nevermind lol

WajahatAli Ugh

Hard Pass.

Fake news! Socialists will be voted out!

Nice

'Oh my God, Sanders can win': Democrats grapple with Bernie surge in Iowa“Suddenly, we have the Democratic establishment very nervous about this campaign,” Sen. Sanders told a crowd of roughly 1,100 in Sioux City. “They’re starting to think, could this really happen?” Of course everybody is nervous.

Chris Matthews Warns Bernie Sanders Victory Runs Risk Of Making Him Look Stupid 2 Elections In A RowNEW YORK—Cautioning voters against walking down such a dangerous path without fully understanding the potential consequences, MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews warned Hardball viewers Tuesday that Bernie Sanders winning the Democratic party’s nomination would run the risk of making him look stupid in two consecutive elections. “Before anyone casts a vote for Senator Sanders in the primary, they need to look deep inside and consider the ramifications of making me look like a completely out-of-touch idiot again,” said Matthews, insisting that a strong showing from Sanders in early-voting primaries could lead to the complete and utter destruction of the American political commentator’s credibility. “We can’t afford to go down the same road we did in 2016. The cost is simply too great to have another four years of me feeling like a clueless fucking moron. Is that a risk Bernie supporters are willing to take?” At press time, a teary-eyed Matthews brought Hardball to a close by asserting that a Sanders presidency could negatively affect him for decades. Poor fella doesn't need that to make him look stupid. HA!
