Bad News for Bernie-HRC Now Leads Him 46-25 in NH

He was on John Dickerson-who took it easy on him last night-and Dickerson did point to a poll that shows Democrats believe that HRC leads him 62% to 51% on who will bring about change in Washington.

Bernie claimed that it's just name recognition-Americans are still getting to know him. But in truth, this has got to sting as this undercuts his whole argument-that he's the change candidate.

And this is before last night's debate that most Dems think Hillary won-despite tougher questioning from Dickerson.

Yet, most feel like Bernie whiffed last night-he simply sidestepped what happened in Paris for the most part-pivoting back to Glass-Steagall as a kind of silver bullet.

This morning Dickerson released results that show that Hillary won the debate according to 51% of Dems compared to 28% for Bernie-just 7% for O'Malley. The trouble with Bernie is his appeal is very one-dimensional-but to win you need to win the broad party.

And now in what has to be sobering news for him-a new poll from Gravis shows Hillary up by 21 points-in NH!-46% to 25%.

Bernie had led there by as much as 15 points in a poll that ended on 10/22. If this is accurate then it's unraveling for the Bern.

He doesn't win NH, he's finished. Which is a good thing. Time for us Dems to focus on the real prize-getting the popcorn and soda out and watching the GOP clown show.
