If so, what is it.
 
I don't how if you can find a definitive poll but if social media is any indication, us college kids like Sanders a lot. He's all about policies that affect our education.

While mainstream media uses polls like this on Trump, perhaps they just don't want to show where the support from Clinton is coming from.

A bit of a double standard.
 
Once again, what in the sweet hell are you talking about Taarna?

Again, I still wonder how you arrive to your conclusions despite the fact that reality says that you're so wrong. Polling has shown where Clinton's support comes from. Sanders support comes from younger voters and voters who want the Democratic Party to take an extremely left-wing turn. These groups form only a small portion of the party. Sanders' supporters are also predominantly white, but even then Hillary maintains a lead in that demographic. Clinton on the other hand is boosted by her commanding leads with women and minorities, who form extremely important and growing blocs within the Democratic Party, and among establishment minded Democrats (who have united behind Clinton as opposed to the splintered GOP establishment).

It's a simple question, which base has the greater education? The media plays in on Trump, so I'm wondering is Sanders base support is more likely to be college-educated voters.

I tend to think so.

Clinton, by the way, is in a dogfight now with Sanders. A sign of weakness as Sanders was essentially an unkown among the Democratic base outside of the New England area.


Mrs. Clinton holds a slim, 48%-to-45% lead over the Vermont senator among likely Democratic caucusgoers in Iowa, the survey found. Mr. Sanders edges the former secretary of state among likely primary voters in New Hampshire, 50% to 46%. Both leads are within the polling margins of error.

Bernie Sanders says Americans back his agenda — and he's mostly right, Washington Post

At a breakfast in Washington on Thursday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) dismissed any perception that he's radically outside the American mainstream. Referring to his core campaign positions, he said: "It is not a radical agenda. In virtually every instance, what I'm saying is supported by a significant majority of the American people."


That's a claim worth double-checking. We pulled the key components of his announcement speech and looked at the most recent polling on each to see just how much support Sanders's proposals had. It doesn't take very long before we get mired in the ways polling can fail to capture the nuance of the issue but, spoiler alert: Sanders was generally right.
What it comes down to is, what's more important? Personalities or the issues?
