(11,197 posts)as does Rally turnout. polls are only as good as the pollsters that take them, and I'm pretty sure that there isn't a poll conducted in America, especially a political poll, that couldn't be considered a push-poll. Somebody's gotta pay for it, and we know who has the money. Not sure why Bernie refuses to conduct his own polling, but that's not my business or concern.

(17,064 posts)...unregistered youth who are exited about Bernie, nor Independants in some cases who may re register Dem for the primary. Tough to predict what those will turn in to as votes, but there is an unpolled excitement about Bernie.

(3,226 posts)Sanders is not beholden to big money like most candidates are he does not need the "Banksters" to back him because he is getting people to invest in him and that means that if you have an investment in him you are more likely to show up and vote. It is one thing to answer a polling question it is another to show up at the real "polling" place and cast a real vote.
