Not Martin O'Malley, that's for sure.
The
race right now is between Senator Sanders, socialist-democratic Senator
from Vermont, and Secretary Hillary Clinton, former Senator from New
York, former Secretary of State, and former presidential candidate. Who
do I think is going to win?
Let's just say I'm not
#FeelingTheBern and I don't think this country is #OverTheHillz. Hillary Clinton is outpolling Bernie Sanders by 16 points, according to a
recent NBC poll. Recently, Senator Sanders hit a new high, with 33% of Democratic voters saying they would support him. But compare that
to the 49% of Democratic voters saying they would support Secretary
Clinton, and it's a little less impressive. In Iowa specifically, Bernie
is polling at 40%, impressive, but still distant behind Clinton's 51%
But won't Bernie Sanders get more support? He's energizing millennials! If they all come out to vote for him, he can win!
Personally, I think Senator Sanders (I-VT) has his ceiling of support. Yes, he is polling very well in certain states, but not in certain demographics. Namely, Senator Sanders is polling well white white voters, and poorly with black ones. As of October, Senator Sanders had a 13 point lead over Secretary Clinton with white voters in South Carolina. This speaks to his increasingly popular rhetoric, and his ability to motivate the often-ignored progressive white faction of the party.
