Democrats are really, really starting to like Hillary Clinton.
The front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination has seen her net favorable rating jump 14 points among Democrats and those who lean to the left since the first Democratic debate in October, while her top competitor – Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont – has seen his own rating stay fairly stagnant, according to Gallup polling released this week. Both candidates, along with former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, will take the stage again Saturday in Iowa for the second official debate of the Democratic primary.
According to Gallup, Clinton now has a 63 percent net favorable rating among those on the left, up from 49 percent just before the debate. Her current tally is her highest since Gallup began tracking views of the candidates in July.
As much as I like Bernie, he is no Barack Obama.
I expect the attacks to ramp up against Hillary, from both the left AND the right, but ultimately I think we already know who will be representing the Democrats in the general election of 2016.
Sarah has a 99% favorable rating and 1% unfavorable.
ReplyDeleteOops, may have screwed this up... I'm dyslexic
Sarah couldn't get a 99% approval rating from her bastard grandchildren.
DeleteI don't agree with Hillary on every single issue, and I have been reluctant to endorse her. BUT I believe she has a better chance of winning this thing, and that is what we want, is for the Democrats to keep the White House. SO I am finally on board with Hillary.
DeleteLETS DO THIS, PEOPLE.... LETS KEEP THE WHITE HOUSE! And hopefully take back the Senate and the House.
We have to make sure we get Democrats registered and ready to vote. We can do this again like we did in 2008 and 2012.
TOTAL UNFAVORABLE PIECE OF SHIT CRISPY CREAM PUFF CRIMINAL:

I can hardly wait to cast my vote for Hillary Clinton! She is dynamite!!! There is no Republican, on the current horizon, that will beat her!
ReplyDeleteLet me guess, post menopausal, white hair cut short, glasses, plump, Subaru or Prius, spent years gabbing and socializing as a church volunteer while your husband worked his ass off his whole life, only to heart attack 3 years after retiring.
Delete12:54 There you are again, Duck Dynasty troller, still being a dick with ears.
DeleteI thought you were at the orphanage throwing food at the orphans on Thursdays.
No, on Thursdays I chase kittens in my Suburban while blasting Van Halen.
DeleteLet ME guess, 12:54- you're that bitter arsehole RAM.
Delete12:54 PM You truly crack me up!!!
DeleteHere is what I actually am: Tall, white, female, thin, a senior citizen, still have dark hair w/o dying it, wear glasses, atheist, registered as an Independent, vote every election (city, state and national), drive a Mercedes, retired for a number of years and am single!!! So there, jerk!
12:54 I hope you choke on your bile.
DeleteI hope you are right. I don't agree with Hillary on every single issue but she is a great candidate and I believe she'll do a great job as President. I feel she is the best candidate to carry on the good work that President Obama has begun. We are lucky as a nation to have them both as strong leaders.
ReplyDeleteBernie rules!

To be frank, Bernie is just too old. And instead of talking about issues that affect all Americans he has spent too much time on the marijuana issue.
DeleteThere's only 6 years difference between Bernie and Hillary. I wish we had a couple of young contenders like Raul Castro and Harold Ford, but we don't and a 6 year age difference isn't what you're trying to make it to be.
Delete6 yrs age difference is very much an issue at that age. Bernie looks to be a one termer and I would rather have a two term president.
DeleteBernie is not too old and after the last debate when they were shaking hands with the crowd, Bernie moved around much better than Hillary and she looked old and stiff. Come on....Bernie walks everywhere and is in much better shape than Hillary.
DeleteNow for the other ignorant comment that he has spent more time talking about marijuana is ludicrous. he has spent more time talking about the things that have greatly impacted our economy and the middle class than Hillary has even given thought. Hillary does not want to reinstate Glass-Stegal Act which would regulate wall street and prevent another almost collapse of our economy. She is a moderate republican and she will do nothing but support the TTP and big banks. She may very well win but not because she is the best candidate but because we have a very ignorant electorate in the democratic party.
It is truly depressing that the one time that we have the opportunity to move this country to a place of a social democracy, to make the middle class stronger than those who rule us.....we are going to be militantly ignorant and elect a moderate republican who is untrustworthy, lies, and feels entitled to be pres. Her campaign hires trolls to hit Sander's posts....she is a sad commentary on the democrats. It is going to push me back to the independents and I will not vote for her regardless....I will write Bernie's name in....I will stand true to the principles I believe in and if she or a republican wins, I am moving out of the country. We can afford to and will. I refuse to hang around and see what will happen to the promise we had and screwed.
Happy for you that you can AFFORD to move from this country. You moving to Denmark?
DeleteThis however could be a problem.....there is so much smoke and given the wierd marriages of both there has to be some truth to this. Personally, I don't care, but the attacks on Clinton will just keep getting worse and this is likely to come out.
ReplyDeleteFrom Crazy Days and Nights today:
October 10, 2015
What presidential candidate’s more than close friends relationship with her former aide will be inferred in several media outlets in the next coming months? Some tabloids overseas have been more ballsy and hinting that both ladies are in open marriages with their husbands which explains a lot.
Hilary Clinton/Huma Abedin
Well if Bill can get a hummer, guess it is only fair that Hillary gets a Huma.
DeleteFBI investigation continues also, everyone including Gryph is pretending she is in the free and clear because some buddies at the State Dept said no problem.
Well, if it's in the tabloids it can't be wrong.
DeleteIt's only November 2015. I don't make any decisions until the actual party primaries when I find out who will be the nominee of both parties. I know it's a crapfest of gossip fun right now, but the real battle doesn't begin for another 10 months. I can't follow these extended election cycles with any sort of mental dedication. At most I have 6 weeks to make a decision and all of this happening right now is just noise. Just one person's opinion and I love the "wow" factor of the early polls and the wasted debates, but really it comes down to 6 weeks when all the money is spent and all of the truth comes out.
ReplyDeleteThe media is deftly in Clintons camp, But I am in the pits of hell bible belt southeastern US and among this electorate Bernie is heads and shoulders above Hillary, They were recently slated to be in three places at the same time over two days , Hillary drew about 5K supporters Bernie had sellout crowds, It is just a fact, America's powerbrokers want Hillary to win the nomination and to that end they are telling everybody that will listen that she is up in the polls more popular and a shoe in for the nod, But the real power brokers " The Voting public " are saying something quite different, If Hillary wins the nod we'll all get behind her, But she has to win first and my vote for one is going to Bernie Sanders : ) FEEL THE BERN : )
ReplyDeleteAre Bernie Sanders crowds still all-white?
DeleteHillary Clinton will have the minorities behind her - not Bernie....he changed his focus on those Americans too late.
Delete2:18, what's that supposed to mean?!
DeleteI'm black, everyone I know is voting for Bernie in the primary. We remember welfare reform, NAFTA, the omnibus crime bill, the repeal of glass steagall, etc. Don't want to live through Clinton 2.0.
Deletethank you Raz Lemons.....although I will write Bernie in....Clinton is another republican to me.
Deletethank you anonymous 3:35 pm totally with you!!
DeleteIt's a win win for me. I like them both. Please, please don't let the country go with a Republican majority in all three branches of the federal government.
DeleteGo Bernie! 2:18 must not listen or watch progressive talk radio or TV.
DeleteI'll vote for whomever the Democratic candidate is and support the party platform and protect my rights as a woman.

DeleteAre these the same polls that says Trump is not leading? I don't believe the corporate media anymore. Carly is rising, Rubio is rising, Carson is rising. Trump is still killing the game among Republicans. I think Bernie is doing better than the corporate media polls will ever tell you. Let the voting begin.
ReplyDeleteI so totally AGREE. If the party pulls shenanigans to remove Bernie and make Hillary the nominee, well, let the weeping and wailing begin.
Deletetotally agree....corporate media does not want Bernie. Hang in there and give Bernie the vote....the only one looking out for your interests.
DeleteOT-Is this a friend of Toads?

What a cute picture of the two of them. I think Hillary Clinton has gotten cuter as she's aged...plus, has a beautiful smile! Both of them are good people! But, I'm pulling for Hillary!
ReplyDeleteI think Hillary is one of those women that actually grow into their features as they age, I went to school with someone like that. She was almost homely and yet it seems every year older on the north side of 50 she looks better and better.
DeleteI cannot believe that Rubio is rising in the polls. I think Trump is leading as is Mrs. Clinton. Carly would be the last person I would expect to see rising - she comes across as one mean, bitch. Doesn't smile easily and doesn't have a warm personality!
ReplyDeleteThe polls - media - large corporations, etc. are playing games with Americans! Simple as that!
Hillary has been running for president forever. She is way too smart to leave any evidence. GOP knows this. FREAK SHOW happening in the republican primary. They are already toast. It's a circular firing squad. Couldn't have written this in my wildest dreams.
ReplyDeleteReally like Bernie.... I really believe he's the real deal. Not bought and paid for... However.....There is too much at stake not to support the Dem. nominee .....
Three words dear voters, Diebold Voting Machines.
DeleteExcited to have President Hillary Clinton leading our country!
ReplyDeleteAt this point, and it's still early, I'll vote for ANY democratic candidate who matches my bucket list of "must haves" for platforms. O'Mally might as well hang it up now, but both Bernie and Hillary have a fifty percent chance at getting this woman's vote.
ReplyDeleteI am voting for the Democratic nominee. Period. End of discussion.
ReplyDeleteIf whoever I am voting for lists "independent" I will look that person up on the internet and find out what groups support him, and what people are saying about him. (We used to have supporting organizations listed in the voter's pamphlet but they've stopped doing that.) For any state legislation, I will look it up, again, and see who is saying what, in addition to reading what the pamphlet says.
Have you noticed that the pamphlets we all receive in the mail as to the candidates no longer reflect the party to which the candidates are affiliated?
DeleteYou have to do your homework if you are not following things closely. I pulled each of the candidates up individually on my computer and got all the info needed prior to going to the polls.
I like both of them but was leaning more on Bernie until the grilling Hillary got. After watching her endure 11 hours she won me over. She is strong
ReplyDeleteenough to take on all those GOP bastards and bitch
(Carlyle). What the republicans did to her really backfired!
I so agree with you, 7:44 PM! Hillary has my vote too. I'd love watching any of the asshole Republican candidates endure what she did as to that bullshit hearing.
DeleteThe Republicans will lose big time in 2016 and I can hardly wait to vote in the manner that will assist in defeating them on all levels.
Good god almighty! So many of them truly SUCK! Especially those hoping to make the primary for POTUS - they are nothing more than a major embarrassment to our country!
Absolutely! And his name is Bernie Sanders. Hillary Clinton would loose to any member of the clown car not because she is a woman or aClinton but because she has nothing g new to offer....oh, yeah, Bill has all the charisma in that family.
