Bernie Sanders’s polling bump has finally arrived
Before this week, it was already clear that the Vermont senator’s primary season was off to a smashing start. Sanders emerged from his popular-vote win in Iowa and undisputed victory in New Hampshire as the Democratic front-runner.
And sure enough, over the past 48 hours, Sanders has belatedly collected the surge in polling support that traditionally comes to the top performer in Iowa and New Hampshire. On the day the Granite State cast its ballots, Sanders enjoyed the backing 23 percent of Democratic voters in RealClearPolitics’ polling average; today, that figure is up to 28.6 percent.
DFP is a progressive think tank with some ties to the Sanders campaign. But it’s also a polling outfit that’s eager to prove its text-message-based methodology is uniquely reliable in an era of declining landline use, and it has made significant progress toward that objective in recent months. As is, Sanders is already on pace to amass a pledged delegate advantage on March 3 that may well be insurmountable.
