Well, 15% for Bernie is at least good enough to win some delegates.  As long as he gets above 15% everywhere, he'll get a decent share of delegates.

On the GOP side….Trump-mentum continues.  I wonder what his numbers would be in New York.

15% is a good start for Bernie at this point in a heavily minority state like NJ. Once he wins IA and NH and gets the big "mo" and minorities get a sense of how much better than Hillary he is, he has the potential to double or triple the 15% by the time of "Super Tuesday".
