2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAttention lurking Stein Voters! A dead gorilla is up 3 pts over Jill.
PPP: Johnson 6%, Harambe the Gorilla 5%, Stein 2%
This bodes well for Harambe's third party run, but unfortunately he is no longer with us.
Harambe the gorilla would do well as presidential candidate: poll
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/harambe-gorilla-presidential-candidate-poll-article-1.2733080
Five percent of respondents said they would cast a ballot for President Harambe. Though not a major margin, 5% is greater than the support shown for Green Party candidate Jill Stein who earned only 2% support in the poll. It nearly matches support for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, who has 6% support.

(44,133 posts)they are very happy with Jill and apparently believe every blatantly false internet meme they see about 'Evil Demoncrats' and 'Lucifer's Daughter HRC'
Fwiw, I'm actually very sensitive to not alienating persuadable voters and wrote a few posts along those lines in Primary Wars 2016. Most everybody ignored me but that happens a lot, lol.

(58,724 posts)They don't include Stein and Harambe together as options.
If the candidates for President were Democrat Hillary Clinton, Republican Donald Trump, and independent Harambe, who would you vote for?
Hillary Clinton.................................................. 48% Donald Trump ................................................. 43% Harambe......................................................... 5% Notsure.......................................................... 4%
It is quite possible that the voters who chose Harambe given those options (with Stein not included) are Stein voters.
Of course, the PPP Twitter feed is going with the spin:
PublicPolicyPolling ?@ppppolls 45m45 minutes ago
Support for President: Gary Johnson 6%, Harambe 5%, Jill Stein 2%
It does seem all about getting attention.

(44,133 posts)Meant to be a little fun.
But appreciate the details
oberliner
(58,724 posts)But PPP is being childish with this nonsense, in my opinion.
They also asked in the same poll if Hillary Clinton was affiliated with Lucifer.
emulatorloo
(44,133 posts)So that was a good question, and I was curious to see the polling.
oberliner
(58,724 posts)And that Alinsky was Hillary's role model.
Seems inane to put a question like that on a serious poll.
Though not as bad as the gorilla one.

(44,133 posts)I've been interested in this phenomena for a while so question was interesting to me

The GP website is interesting, many of their candidates registered as Dems to be 'protest' votes in Democratic Primaries. Maybe they should spend less time lying about being Dems and more time organizing their own party.
