Very sad. He should drop out now before he completely destroys his reputation.

'Sanders’ message of income inequality and political corruption by special interests is driving the
issue agenda within the Democratic primary''

Yeah, yet that got blown out the water by Paris to excuse the pun

This just looks like generic campaign spin that you'd expect from someone who is behind.

The polling by desperate republicans back in 2012 was unskewing not sanders. Just shows liefs obsession with the coporate hillary.

Cool. More reason to believe that Bernie will win Iowa and New Hampshire. I do think, however, that O'Malley is being underestimated as a progressive alternative to Clinton, and I think he will split the progressive vote in Clinton's favor. He may win a few states of his own.

That's spinning poll numbers not "unskewing" them.  Candidates talk up poll numbers all the time.  Look up "unskewed polls".  It was a far more serious and delusional issue.  It involved totally making up poll numbers.  The Sander's campaigns comments are a total nonevent.

This is how out of touch atlas is... O'Malley had a better debate performacr but that does not mean he is gonna win states because of it. Bernie is the main progressive alternative to Clinton. Anyways amazing how no one reads the article they post. Lier pulled a ben carson.

There is nothing wrong with putting out a positive spin on the polling and there is some good stuff in recent polling for Sanders, such as his strength on core important issues like income inequality. But that memo goes much further, notably in its leading core premise...

That is simply and clearly not true. Anyone who takes a glance at any chart at Huffpollster or RCP of national polls or any state polls can see the opposite is true. But the memo does some Olympic level cherry-picking along with some apples to oranges comparisons fosusing solely on the latest CBS poll to 'prove' this. That isn't spinning or unskewing, that is lying. They are just making stuff up to settle nerves of Bernie's loyal followers, and kind of insulting the intelligence of the Bernie fans. Do they really believe this?

They need to. I've seen comments like "young people don't get polled"

If you look only at polls that don't include Biden,  it has narrowed a bit in the last month.

 Not they dont get polled...they get underpolled and the youth vote has a higger chance of voting for sanders.
