Just as expected, once the press let up on its 24/7 transmitting of already debunked E-ghazi nonsense, Hillary Clinton's poll numbers are going back up again:
Clinton is backed by 42% of Democratic primary voters nationally, compared to 24% for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, 22% for Biden and 1% for former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.
That's a marked improvement over an early September CNN/ORC poll that found Clinton leading Sanders, 37% to 27%, with Biden at 20%.
And Biden's support comes almost entirely from Clinton's camp. Without the vice president in the race, Clinton's numbers climb by 15 percentage points, while Sanders' increase by only 4 points -- giving Clinton a nearly 2-to-1 lead at 57% to 28%, with O'Malley moving up to 2%.

Now this poll is using the same format as previous polls that fans of Hillary's rivals had praised because they showed Bernie only down by low double digits to her. But now suddenly these polls aren't so pleasing to those people.
