Poll Shows Sanders Leads the Democratic Field Overall in Utah;

Written by Bryan Schott on 23 November 2015. Posted in Today At Utah Policy
Bernie SandersAmong all Utahns, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is the most popular Democratic presidential candidate. However, Utah Democrats put former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the front of the Democratic field.

A new UtahPolicy.com survey finds 26% of Utahns say Sanders is the most appealing Democratic candidate while 18% said Clinton. 25% did not express a preference. Former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley pulled in 8%.

Democrats and independent voters are on opposite sides when it comes to Sanders and Clinton, with Democrats backing Clinton and independent voters behind Sanders.

Among Democrats, Clinton is a clear choice, garnering 54%. About a third of Utah Democrats (34%) say they support Sanders. O'Malley gets only 3%.

Independent voters in Utah mostly line up behind Sanders. 38% say they are backing the Vermont Senator. Just 15% of that group say they're behind Clinton, and 10% want O'Malley.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

The OP title is a blatant lie, even within the OP the poll notes Clinton is the top candidate at 54%. People should not post lies as OP titles.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Nov 23, 2015, 04:38 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Whatever. Dispute the title with your own facts. Don't censor stuff.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Then point it out. Maybe they read it wrong. Alerts are for offensive posts, not the damned internet police.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I marvel at the things people are alerting on these days. Really.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alerter needs to be put on a timeout just for their failure in reading comprehension.

In the first place, the OP is using as much of the title from the article posted at Utah Policy the will fit in the subject line. Secondly, Clinton garners 54% support among Utah's DEMOCRATS, while Bernie leads in Utah among all DEMOCRATIC candidates. Therefore, the OP is not posting any lies in the subject line.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm a Hillary supporter but the OP simply copied the title from the link.

0-7. Somebody is going to have to take a break from Alerting. Too Bad.

FWIW, the total is from the article. I did not change a word.
