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.

Bernie Sanders... A Hypocrite ?
www.cnn.com/2015/11/politics/bernie-sanders-super-pac-nurses-union/index.html
Bernie Sanders has been supported by a super PAC , but wait, isn't that a little contradicting to his previous stances on the corrupt nature of the campaign finance and fundraising system?
The super PAC: National Nurses United For Patient Protection Spent $ 569,000 backing Sanders in his presidential run since August. How can Sanders stick to a non- super PAC pledge if he himself is supported by the first national union to endorse an presidential election ? Most of Bernie's supporters say they like him because of his anti-super PAC financing stance how will they react ? Bernie's team responded that they were flattered but they do not have a super PAC, don't want a super-PAC and wont in the future either. How can they explain the support then ? Michael Lightly ( the nurses union political director) disagreed and explained that the National Nurses United For Patient Protection is not actually a super PAC. He says " It was set up originally under the pre-citizen United rules, so it is not a super PAC". On the other hand the FEC declares that it is in fact a super PAC it doesn't matter that it happened to be established in 2009 one year before the 2012 U.S Supreme Court decision to proliferate super PACs. In response the Union said that they "exists to protect nurse and patients and, no other candidate has better amplified the critical issues nurses have voiced for many years than Sanders, we are proud to support Sanders and will continue to do so."

Sanders Ahead of Clinton In New Hampshire Poll
thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/dem-primaries/260698-sanders-ahead-of-clinton-in-new-hamphire-poll
According to FOX news, Sanders has 45% support and Hillary has 44% support, but we must keep in mind that the slight difference is still in the 5.5% margin or error.(sample representation)
-Among younger voters(under 45):
Sanders: 59%
Clinton: 30%
(Is this unusual because more young people would more likely want the glass ceiling to be broken for different types of people, since we are the generation of diversity tolerance and acceptance?)

Democratic "Socialism" & Polls Update
http://www.inquisitr.com/2575139/bernie-sanders-polls-sanders-hoping-to-make-up-ground-on-clinton-with-speech-defining-democratic-socialism/
Sanders is losing ground in the polls he is now behind Hillary who has 51% of the democratic vote while he has 33.5% of the democratic vote and slightly ahead of O'Malley still struggling to find his voice better yet supporters. His most recent attempt to make up ground on Clinton is his speech defining his self- defined democratic socialism. He defined it as: "having a government which represents all people, rather than just the wealthiest people, which is most often the case right now in this country". Can America change from a Plutocracy to this democratic socialism?
