No Bernie in there at all, wonder why...

Clearly not to be taken seriously. It is rather strange, when there are many very legitimate polls, analyses, etc that show HRC is a very strong frontrunner that anyone feels compelled to post this nonsense.

Two years ago even though she can't run. Makes you question how many people were included in the vote and how savvy they really are.

The very savvy voters gave points to people not even in the race today as far as I know My understanding of the race today is Clinton, O'Malley and Sanders. What did I miss, when did Bernie drop out??

It was not a prefeence question, it was who do you think will get the nomination?

I didn't think Coumo and Granholm were in it today, as far as I have seen we have Clinton,Sanders and O'Malley...

If this poll was taken 2 years ago I have no idea what it's relevance is today and wonder seriously what the reasoning behind the post is other than a rather anemic attempt to pump someones ego up...worthless data at best..

No one thought Cuomo or Grantham would win when asked this year. I think you are misunderstanding. The same question was asked of readers in 2012, 2014 and 2015. Do you understand now?

Do YOU understand that?

...but apparently a small subset of readers did not. "Savvy" perhaps applies selectively!

The readership was a lot lower in 2012! You are right on that, too....

Still, I found it surprising that no one thought Bernie could get the nomination, and that Rubio got half the nods. That makes him, by this incredibly unscientific poll, as strong as Jeb was last year and Christie in 2012.

but having Granholm and McConnell in the lists casts doubt on the fact they are saavy, and their favorites' list throughout the years show that they are sensitive to the news more than saavy.

This said, clearly Hillary Clinton is ahead and has a good chance to win (if nothing changes), but you do not need to be saavy to know that.

...Rubio rising but perhaps stronger than I thought. Again, completely unscientific.

This is the problem with polls (scientific or not). There is a feedback loop. This is part of the Trump's phenomena (and Trump is exploiting it well, as he is saavy with these issues). And the incompetence of most media people on polls does not help (as shown by comments like "no other candidate is in double digits as if there was something sacred about double digits, when a candidate is 10 and the next one is 9, for example). And yes, this has nothing to do with the post, but I am really frustrated by the comments concerning the GOP field because it seems some people have only one tune to play, ranking candidates from 1 to 14).

It seems Rubio's appeal is already fading and Cruz is catching up, and who knows what will happen after that. There is still a couple of months before Iowa.
