Sanders believes he still has ‘momentum’ despite Nevada loss

According to the poll, Sanders won Hispanic caucus-voters ages 17-29 by 83 to 12 percent, and Clinton won those ages 30 and above by 65 to 34 percent. Sanders slipped into an employee cafeteria to shake hands with workers.

Of the six students willing to be interviewed for this report, two supported Clinton and four supported Sanders.

The results give Trump momentum heading into the next contest in Nevada on Tuesday, and the Super Tuesday primary on March 1 when more than a dozen states hold primaries. They are mapping out plans to stay close to Clinton in the delegate count until the race turns to friendlier territory later in March. “We did badly with the African-American vote”, Sanders said. “It’s frontloaded for her, but we have the ability to stay in the long game”.

North Carolina has 121 Democratic delegates, making it an important state for candidates. Then the campaign moves into a trove of diverse, delegate-rich southern states that are also considered favorable terrain for Clinton. Clinton acknowledged people may question “is she in it for us or is she in it for herself?”

American Action Network reportedly took precautions to ensure that the poll wasn’t only reflective of the 2016 Democratic primary race, however.

As of February 16, Clinton is polling 53.3 percent in North Carolina, compared to 30.7 percent for Vermont Sen. “It’s handsome – when you win it’s handsome”.

It’s easy to nit-pick Clinton’s campaign – and I know many of her allies believe I do that on a daily basis.

Sanders’ has steadily increased his SC staff to 200 over 10 field offices along with several surrogates who spread his message of a $15 minimum wage, tuition-free public college education, and expanding Medicaid – something Gov. Nikki Haley refused.

“I think the more people know our record, the better we do”, Sanders said Sunday on CBS’ “Face The Nation”. Both the Sanders and Clinton campaigns last week began airing their first television ads.

What this means going forward for Sanders is that he actually can win non-white voters, and that could be good news in a state that doesn’t skew as old as Nevada.

But Rubio’s campaign said after Cruz fell short, this a three person race.

Trump easily won the votes of present and past members of the military, a large sector in SC.

He said Sanders’ numbers were driven by differences in Hispanics by age.

The GOP candidates are setting their sights on Nevada for that state’s caucuses on Tuesday.

Clinton’s support among black voters could pay dividends because of the way Democrats award high-performing congressional districts with a greater share of delegates. In Nevada, which was the third state to vote, Mrs Clinton won a crushing 76 per cent of the black vote.
