This IS just a tracking poll…
BUT?
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s momentum in the Democratic presidential race has stalled in the wake of a lackluster debate performance in Las Vegas this week, according to a new poll.
The Morning Consult poll released Friday shows Bloomberg falling into third place behind Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Vice President Joe Biden, dropping 3 points compared to a similar Morning Consult survey from before the debate.
The former mayor is still registering double-digit support, at 17 percent, but Bloomberg’s post-debate dip was the largest of any candidate.
Sanders, meanwhile, held onto his first-place position in the poll and even gained 2 points compared to the pre-debate survey, rising to 30 percent support. Biden stayed steady at 19 percent.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) finished in fourth place in the survey with 12 percent support – a 2-point gain since earlier this week – while former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigiegfell into fifth place with 11 percent support and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) trailed at 5 percent.
The Morning Consult poll, which was conducted entirely after this week’s debate, suggests that Bloomberg’s performance has slowed his rise in the Democratic presidential race….

Three points sounds more like statistical noise.
If that night was the worst one Bloomberg is going to have, he should be very happy right now.
Still though, I cannot get over the ways I could have helped him have a better performance. I could have helped him improved his answers with just an hour of my time and I only would have asked for 5 million an hour.
