CHARLESTON, W.Va. A MetroNews West Virginia Poll shows Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders with significant leads among likely presidential primary voters in the state.
The survey by REPASS Research has Trump with 40 percent compared with 20 percent for his nearest rival, Texas Senator Ted Cruz. On the Democrat side, Sanders leads Hillary Clinton by nearly two-to-one, 57 percent to 29 percent

Sanders biggest strength is with young people. However, he has majority support in all age categories except seniors. Among voters 65 and older, Sanders lead is 43 percent to 36 percent.
On the GOP side, after Cruz, Florida Senator Marco Rubio is at 15 percent, Ben Carson at ten percent, Ohio Governor John Kasich at six percent and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush at four percent. Bush withdrew from the race Saturday night after a disappointing fourth place finish in South Carolina.
West Virginias primary is May 10.
The MetroNews West Virginia Poll is a result of interviews with 411 registered likely voters in the state using landline phone, cell phone and opt-in internet panels. It has a margin of error of +/- 4.9 percent. The non-partisan West Virginia Poll has been conducted periodically since 1980. MetroNews is the media sponsor.<snip>

(11,366 posts)It's about a group of outdoorsmen who like to see if mythical creatures exist and whether they can trap them. Pure entertainment and I won't apologize for sometimes watching mindless shit because I happen to like the scenery and like hearing campfire stories (which is what the "legends" of these creatures amounts to).
Anyway, these guys are what most folks would consider to be classic Republicans. They look like the Duck Dynasty people and like to run around in flannel in the woods with guns.
But, here's the thing: most of them are retired and/or current laborers and uniformed service guys.
To my surprise, reading through their Twitter feeds while watching their show, I discovered that at least two of them are Bernie supporters.
So - this is no surprise to me. WV is just an really odd duck in the South.
