Polls
It seems as though Clinton is leading Sanders when it comes to favorability polls. Sanders is 51% favorable while Clinton is 76% favorable, giving her a 25% lead. Though, when it comes to those who do not favor these candidates Clinton is still ahead with 18% unfavorable polls and Sanders at 14%. Which is great on his part!
Sanders is also behind when it comes familiarity ratings as Clinton has 94 points and Sanders with only 65. Though, he has made a 5 point increase since October, meaning that he still has hope!

Person of the Year?
It's not necessarily uncommon for a president to win an award for being the "Best Man of the Year" or anything along those lines, but what is uncommon, as it has never happened before, is a candidate winning TIME's Person of the Year Award while their campaign isn't even finished yet. In the TIME Person of the Year award polls, Bernie is steadily rising in the polls, and is holding a strong and firm lead ahead of many of this year's more influential figures. The polls end on the 6th, and it'll be interesting to see as to who wins.

Sander's "Humane" Immigration Agenda
Sanders announced his "humane" immigration agenda that is similair to O'Malley both candiates want to:
a. "expand executive action to include all those who would have qualified for the Senate's 2013 immigration-reform bill".
b. "curb programs that ask local police to cooperate with the federal government's enforcement of immigration violations".
c. "curtail the use of immigration detention".
Bernie Sanders specifically aims to:
1) Stop "9 million" undocumented immigrants from being deported; for the time being.
2) Extend Obama's deferred action to five year citizens eligible for relief.
3) End local law enforcement agency's "enforcement of federal immigration policy".
4) Law support for immigration workers who need protection against labor abuse/violation(s).
5) Create "future legislation that declares DREAMers immediately... eligible for: military service, federal financial aid, in-state tuition(even if a state hasn't passed it's own in-state tuition bill for undocumented students).

Week 9 Polls
Polls
Sander's polls haven't seemed to change much in Iowa as he has 42% of the Democratic caucus-goers' support. While Clinton has been lingering around half of the voters as she is currently standing at 51%.
This is probably due to the 85% of survey takers who believe Clinton has a better chance of winning against a Republican candidate while only 54% believe that Sanders' would do so. Nevertheless, 47% thought that Sanders was a more ideal choice in handling our nation's economy while 42% said that Clinton would. Not only that, but 89% of the participants supporting Sanders thought of him as a trustworthy and honest candidate while 66% of Clinton's supporters thought she was trustworthy and honest. But, most of the people, a staggering 95%, believed Clinton had the best kind of experience needed in order to be president.
According to Peter Brown, an assistant director to the Quinnipiac University Poll, the only way Clinton could loose the nomination would be if she "drops the early Iowa and new Hampshire contests to Sen. Sanders, who then might become the 'momentum' candidate."

Newsworthy: Mom Cancel The Trip To Wally World !
Sanders seems to disapprove of anything starting with Wal-...
On this black Friday he was much less concerned with getting a low priced flat screen HD TV and more concerned with the employees selling them.
Sanders who is an advocate for the low wage man angrily tweeted a series of posts a few hours ago that argued " @Walmart shouldn't be allowed to pay workers wages so low that many qualify for Medicaid, food stamps, and government housing." As one of America's biggest corporations Sanders believes that Walmart heirs - who own more wealth than the bottom 42% of Americans - shouldn't be provided welfare from working families.
Is this a random allegation or did Sanders just say what everyone else was thinking but too afraid to voice or too busy pushing people out of the way for the last legoland set?

Newsworthy: M.C Bernie ?
This upcoming Monday will wrap up Sanders' two day ATL visit. Ever since the Paris attacks most of the political conversation has focused on national security and has left Sanders struggling to "find his footing" besides his stance on Wall Street bank separation and income equality.
At 7 p.m rapper 'Killer Mike' (real name: Michael Render) will open for Sanders at the Fox Theater. Render is a local political activist emphasizing the criminal justice reform and even shortly had a write-in candidacy for state House this past summer. Clinton seems to have Georgia's democratic establishment on lock so hopefully the event will give Sanders substantial quantitative results.

Polls Update: Highest Support To Date !
According to NBC Sanders is now the preferred candidate of 33% of Democratic/Independent leaning democratic voters.
Hillary's still surpassing by 16 points. And even though Sanders has gained 3 points since last month's poll we have to keep in mind that its still within the poll's error estimate of +/- 3.1% points.
O'Malley still struggles to make an improvement in the democratic polls despite two national debate show exposures.
From this graph below we can assume that:
- Sanders maintains a strong lead among young voters
- Clinton stills lead the white vote by 3 points, 6 points among men & 9 points among college graduates.
