MEANWHILE,
WISCONSIN
IS
%FEELING
THE
BERN.
%IN
TONIGHT'S INSIDE
LOOK,
THE
%NEW
MARQUETTE
LAW
SCHOOL
POLL
%
HAS BERNIE SANDERS
IN A DOUBLE
%DIGIT
LEAD
AGAINST
DEMOCRATIC
%PRIMARY
CHALLENGERS IN
%WISCONSIN.
%WE
CHECK
IN
WITH
POLL
DIRECTOR%CHARLES FRANKLIN.
%THANKS
VERY
MUCH
FOR
BEING
HERE.
%>>
GOOD TO B
E
HERE.
%>>
WELL,
SO
YOUR
POLLING
SHOWS A
%29% FAVOR
SANDERS,
13
BUTTIGIEG,
%11
KLOBUCHAR
AND
9%
WARREN.
%THINGS
REALLY
HAVE
CHANGED
SINCE
%YOUR LAST
POLL
FOR JOE
BIDEN.
%>> THAT'S RIGHT.
%AND
WHAT'S
HAPPENED
BETWEEN
%THOSE TWO
IS
IOWA
AND NEW
%HAMPSHIRE.
%WE
WERE
FINISHING
UP
POLLING
%AFTER KNEE
VA
NEVADA
VOTED.
%IT'S
T
HE FIRST TIME
SANDERS
HAS
%LED
IN
THE
POLLS
WE'VE
BEEN
%DOING ALMOST
MONTHLY SINCE
%AUGUST.
%IT'S
ALSO A
FALL
FOR
BIDEN.
%HE
HAD
LED
EACH
PREVIOUS POLL
%AND
NOW
FALLS
NOT
EVEN
TO
%SECOND, BUT
TO
THIRD
PLACE.
%MIKE
BLOOMBERG,
WHO HAS BEEN
%DOWN
IN
SINGLE
DIGITS,
BUMPS
UP
%INTO SECOND PLACE.
%AND
FINALLY ELIZABETH WARREN,
%WHO
HAD BEEN
IN
THE
TOP
TIER
O
F
%CANDIDATES, HAS
FALLEN OFF
TO
%
NOW
SIXTH
PLACE.
%>> ANOTHER QUESTION
IN
YOUR
POLL
%SHOWED
THAT
THE
THREE
TOP
%DEMOCRATIC
PICKS
A
LSO
HAVE
LIKE
%THESE
REALLY
HIGH
UNFAVORABLES.
%IS
THIS
LIKE
HOLDING
YOUR
NOSE
%AND
VOTING?
%>>
WELL, THERE
ARE
T
WO
SIDES
TO
%THIS.
%AMONG
JUS
T
D
EMOCRATIC
VOTERS,
%MOST OF
THEM
ARE
SEEN
PRETTY
%FAVORABLE.%THE
ONE
EXCEPTION
IS
BLOOMBERG.
%
BUT
AMONG
THE
ENTIRE
ELECTORATE,
%ALL OF
THEM,
WITH
THE
EXCEPTION
%OF AMY
KLOBUCHAR,
ARE
MORE
%NEGATIVELY
VIEWED
THAN DONALD
%TRUMP
IS,
WHICH
IS
SUPPORT
OF A
%SURPRISE.
%BUT
THE
REASON
IS
THAT
%REPUBLICANS ARE
COMPLETELY
%UNITED IN
LIKING
TRUMP
AND
%DISLIKING
ALL OF
THE
DEMOCRATS.
%BUT
WITHIN
THE
DEMOCRATIC
PARTY,
%BETWEEN
20%
AND
25%
HAVE
%UNFAVORABLE
VIEWS
OF
THEIR
OWN
%CANDIDATES.
%THE REASON
IS
THAT THEY
HAVE A
%
FIRST
CHOICE
AND
THAT
PERSON
%GETS
90%
FAVORABILITY,
BUT
THEN%THEY
HAVE
RESERVATIONS ABOUT
THE
%OTHER DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES.%IT WILL
PROBABLY
COME
TOGETHER
%ONCE
THERE'S A
NOMINEE.
%RIGHT
NOW
IT'S
HOLDING
DOWN
%DEMOCRATIC
FAVORABILITY.%>>
SO
A
NOTHER QUESTION
YOU
ASKED
%WAS WHETHER OR NOT
PEOPLE HAD
%MADE
U
MINDS,
AND
YOU
%FOUND
THAT
56%
OF
DEMOCRATIC
%RESPONDENTS SAY
THEY
MIGHT
%CHANGE THEIR MIND.
%IS
THAT A
HIGH
NUMBER AT THIS
%TIME?
%>> IT'S
KIND
O
F
HIGH.
%IT'S BEEN
COMING
DOWN
GRADUALLY%OVER
THE
LAST
FOUR
MONTHS.
%SO IT
MAY
BE
HIGH,
BUT
IT'S
LESS
%HIGH
THAN IT
WAS A
LITTLE WHILE
%AGO.
%ALSO,
REMEMBER, WE
ARE
SO
EARLY
%IN
THE
PROCESS
REALLY
OF
VOTING.
%SOUTH CAROLINA
AND
THEN SUPER
%TUESDAY
AND
THEN
MORE
MARCH
%EVENTS WILL
ALL
AFFECT WHO IS
%STILL A
CANDIDATE BY
THE
TIME
WE
%
VOTE
IN
APRIL.
%SO I
N
THAT
SENSE, I
T
MAY
B
E
%REALISTIC FOR
DEMOCRATS
TO
SAY
I
%COULD
CHANGE
MY
MIND
BECAUSE I
%DON'T
ACTUALLY
KNOW
WHO
WILL
%STILL
BE A
VIABLE
CANDIDATE.%>>
WOULD A BIG
WIN
FOR
BIDEN
IN
%SOUTH CAROLINA
CHANGE
THE
%TRAJECTORY OF
THIS
THING?
%>>
IT'S HARD TO
SAY.
%IT'S
CLEAR
THAT
IF
HE
LOSES%SOUTH CAROLINA
OR
JUST
BARELY
%EKES
OUT A
WIN,
THAT
PUTS
HIS
%CAMPAIGN
IN
REAL
TROUBLE
FOR
%DOING WELL
ON SUPER TUESDAY.
%A
STRONGING
FINISH,
THOUGH,
%GIVES HIM THE
OPPORTUNITY
TO DO
%WELL.
%BUT
IT'S
UNCLEAR
WHETHER IT
%WOULD PROPEL
VICTORY
ON SUPER
%TUESDAY.
%SO MORE
OF A
RISK
ON THE
%DOWNSIDE.%>> THE
AGE
OF BERNIE
SANDERS'
%BACKERS HAS
CHANGED A LITTLE BIT
%IN THIS
LATEST
SURVEY.
%18 TO
29-YEAR-OLDS
STILL
BY
FAR
%THE
BIGGEST
SUPPORTERS.
%BUT THE
OLDER
SET
I
S
KIN
%WARMING UP TO
HIM.
%>>
I
THINK
THAT'S AN IMPORTANT
%POINT.
%HE
HAS
ALWAYS,
IN
2016 AS WELL
%AS THIS
YEAR,
DONE
WAY
BETTER
%WITH
YOUNGER
VOTERS AND
FALLEN
%
OFF
QUITE A
BIT
WITH
OLDER
%VOTERS.
%BUT IN
THIS
FEBRUARY POLL
WE
SEE
%HIM
CRACKING
20%
SUPPORT
AND
%ABOVE WITH SOME OF
THE
OLDER
%VOTERS.
%THAT'S
SOMETHING
HE
HAD
NOT
DONE
%BEFORE.
%AND
IT
SHOWS
THAT
HIS
RISE
THIS
%MONTH IS
COMING ACROSS
THE
A
GE
%SPECTRUM
IN
EVERY
GROUP
THAT'S
%MORE
SUPPORT
THAN IT
WAS A
MONTH
%AGO.%>>
AS
FOR
REPUBLICAN
%RESPONDENTS, THEY
THINK
%BLOOMBERG IS
THE
BIGGEST
THREAT
%TO TRUMP.
%YOU
ALS
O
FOUND
10%
OF
%REPUBLICANS EXPECT
TO
CROSS
OVER
%IN
THE
PRIMARY AND
VOTE
FOR
WHO?
%>>
WELL,
THAT'S AN
INTERESTING
%QUESTION.
%WITH
JUST
10%,
IT'S HARD TO
%KNOW.
%THERE'S NOT ENOUGH
CASES TO HAVE
%MUCH
OF AN
IDEA.
%SOME OF
THOSE
PEOPLE
MAY
BE
%ANTI-TRUMP
REPUBLICANS WHO ARE
%CROSSING OVER.
%SOME
MAY
BE
CROSSING OVER
T
O
%MAKE
MISCHIEF IN
THE
OTHER
%PARTY.
%AND
FINALLY
LET'S
REMEMBER, WE
%HAVE AN
OPEN
PRIMARY
LAW
HERE.
%>>
RIGHT.%>>
IT'S
EVERY
CITIZEN'S
RIGHT
TO
%VOTE
IN
WHICHEVER PRIMARY
THEY
%WANT TO
VOTE
IN.
%
THEY
DON'T
HAVE TO
BE
PRE
%PREDECLARED AS A
DEMOCRAT OR
%REPUBLICAN.%>>
SANDERS
SLIGHTLY
EDGES
TRUMP,
%BUT
BIDEN
HAS A
NINE-POINT
LEAD
%LAST
TIME.
%>> YEAH.
%
ONE OF THE
THINGS
THAT
SHIFTED
%HERE
IS
THAT
HE,
BIDEN,
HAD
LED
%AGAINST
TRUMP
IN
ALL
BUT ONE
OF
%OUR
POLLS
THIS
FALL.
%SOMETIMES
CLOSE,
SOMETIMES
NOT
%SO CLOSE.
%BUT NOW
TIED.
%SANDERS HAS
BEEN JUST BARELY
%AHEAD OF
TRUMP
IN
MOST
AND
%BEHIND IN
ONE
AND
THAT'S
%BASICALLY WHERE
HE
IS
RIGHT
NOW.
%I
THINK
THE BOTTOM
LINE,
THOUGH,
%IS
THAT
THE
NOVEMBER RACE
IS
%SUPER
CLOSE.%>> EP
WHY.
%>>
ALL
THESE
ARE
INSIDE
THE
%MARGIN OF
ERROR.
%
IT'S A
LONG,
LONG
WAY
S
TO
%NOVEMBER.%>> ALL
RIGHT.
%CHARLES
FRANKLIN,
THANKS VER
Y
%MUCH.%>> THANK YOU.%>>
THIS AM
