Sanders leads Clinton among African-American voters in Wisconsin by 11 points

[Javan]

So let me get this straight. Her campaign is not taking money directly from the oil industry... But they are taking money from lobbyists who represent the oil industry. This meaningless distinction is what all this hoopla is about?

[Javan]

How is that any different from getting in the car accident and saying, "no I was NOT driving while drunk... I was on my cellphone". A bitch is guilty either way.

I saw that. It is interesting. Don't know how true that is (only because a newer Fox Business Poll has her leading by 15 among nonwhites) but if it is then he will definitely win Wisconsin (though I already think he will by at least 5). It'll be impossible for her to win WI without nonwhite support

Because the figure isn't a lot from her contributions from lobbyists. We don't have exact figures either

And so far, the only state Bernie was polled to win that she ended up winning was Missouri (which was even closer than Iowa).

We don't which lobbyists are giving them money and how much. Lobbyists often represent a myriad of clients.

So green peace lied? The plot thickens

I think I'll just watch how this all unfolds as I don't even understand how they came to the figure of 4.5mil

15% is still a lot less than what he was losing by in the past.

So I guess the "black people don't like Bernie" posts can stop now

what is this mess

[HeyMr.DJ]

I feel like the media is to blame for everyone who thinks the dem race is close.... When in reality, Bernie has a 1/1000000000000000 chance of winning... This is why I hate the media :/

We'll have to see what the exit polls say

But yes if Bernie ever reaches a 40% threshold of blacks then I won't claim that anymore

Media were unanimously telling him to dropout less than 2 weeks ago

Super interesting

Also

Ron Johnson continues to be in deep trouble for reelection. Only 35% of voters approve
of him to 42% who disapprove, and he trails Russ Feingold 46/39 in a head to head match
up. One issue that may be hurting Johnson is his support for privatizing the Veterans
Affairs (VA) health care system. Only 24% of voters in the state support doing that, to
68% who disapprove. There’s bipartisan opposition to the proposal with Democrats
(76/15), independents (68/24), and Republicans (57/33) all strongly opposed to the
concept. 57% of voters say Johnson’s stance on VA privatization makes them less likely
to vote for him, compared to only 29% who consider it a positive. Among the critical
independent voters who will make or break Johnson’s reelection chances, 58% are less
likely to support him because of this stand.

Another thing hurting Johnson is the generally poor brand of Senate Republicans, which
is being reinforced by their obstructionism on the Supreme Court issue. Only 12% of
voters in Wisconsin approve of the job Mitch McConnell is doing as Senate Majority
Leader, to 46% who disapprove. Association with McConnell is a big problem for
Johnson. Beyond that voters want to see the Supreme Court seat filled this year by a
52/38 spread, including 51/41 with key independent voters. That’s another issue where
Johnson’s position is hurting his chances of returning to the Senate next year.

Finally we found 65% of voters in Wisconsin are more likely to vote for a candidate who
believes the United States must do all it can to lessen its dependence on fossil fuels by
embracing measures like solar, wind, and renewable fuels. There’s bipartisan agreement
on that front- 82% of Democrats, 56% of independents, and 53% of Republicans are
more likely to vote for a candidate who supports moving more toward cleaner energy
sources.

Democrats have a good chance to take back this seat.
