Georgia Poll Results!

http://www.11alive.com/story/news/politics/2015/11/02/exclusive-poll-georgia-wants-trump-president/74819370/

"......In the much smaller Democratic field, the 11Alive News poll shows Hillary Clinton with a crushing lead, with 73 percent support among likely Democratic primary voters. Bernie Sanders follows with 16 percent support, then Martin O'Malley with 4 percent. Those results lead SurveyUSA pollsters to conclude "Sanders is not today competitive in Georgia"."

with more recent polls in southern states. I would expect Georgia to remain fairly stable.

But TBH, once the generals get going, I think she will eat him alive. That dude is all bluster and the of Repugs are terrified of alienating the GOP base. Hillary won't be. Neither would Sanders for that matter, though I'm not sure Bernie has the junk-yard dog instincts he needs to deal with Trump.

As soon as a newer one comes out, someone will link to it here. Until then, I guess this one will have to suffice.

Gotta love likely voter models. You get to toss out anyone.

It would be interesting to see what the crossover appeal really is. I know Paul has his supporters showing up to Sanders events handing out literature. Paul knows where his support has gone. Would love to know how much support Sanders is actually getting from conservatives.

So many R's make the poll way too long unless you exclude virtually everyone, so very few pollsters are doing head-to-heads.

So while the polling wouldn't be very accurate in predicting the GE, it would still be helpful for people choosing in the primary based on "electable" in the GE.

If all three Democrats poll about as well against the Republicans, they're all about equally "electable". Even if the overall numbers in that poll are way off from the GE results.

People using such a metric are stretching for something at best. That includes Clinton and Sanders supporters. Not one or the other. The "snapshot in time" is just too far out with far too many uncertainties.

The people only going by "electable" are primarily going via gut feelings. My hope is a little data would help them to move past "electable" and get to policy.

That's gonna change everything you know...

I have said it before and I will say it yet again, some of these folks here CANNOT be for real. And these "Negroes for Bernie" posts are beyond mortifying. They are tone deaf, incredibly stupid and absolutely mortifying.

An endorsement from a rapper or a former state senator are good things. But the non-stop wall to wall screaming for WEEKS on end come across as not congratulatory or celebratory, but shrill and desperate. Particularly when actual CURRENT black politicians or celebrities who support Hillary are summarily dismissed and the handful of black people that have endorsed Sanders are people that few have even heard of and sure as shit were not topics of conversation on this web site before they endorsed Sanders.

I don't see how it's possible that the people doing this don't realize how paternalistic and stupid this makes them look. That the contributions that these people have made mean absolutely nothing and are of no interest at all until they endorse the right candidate minimizes them completely and turns them into the Convenient and Useful Negro. And the people doing this ignorant crap need to stop. Yesterday.
