Polls Week Ten

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.
