I thought they went out with AOL.

I don’t care for KOS. But....

have their browsers set to automatically open the site. The average visit duration and pages per visit are also significantly lower than DU.

However, I don't believe that the results of the poll can be extrapolated from the site membership to the pool of primary voters. I also don't expect the results to change each time the poll is conducted unless a blockbuster event occurs (e.g., arrests, major scandals, health crisis) since it is the same people voting in each poll.

How about that?

Go Bernie!

With 191 total votes? But at least they gave a %. If you really wanted to use that poll to your advantage, you could say Kamala doubles Bernie's votes! (44 to 24). Seems it was more a twitter/FB battle. I googled it. The Biden FB related page is pretty funny! Those crazy kids!

Mahalo, George!

However, that Middlebury Poll, from his home state, may be closer to the truth. Just look at the numbers for candidates at the top of this thread. And I'm seeing the media being very cautious about him this time around. Good catch Cha.

He has name recognition and just like Individual 1 an adoring base, but it couldn't get him elected the last time around and there is huge competition this time, so let's see what we see...

Right.. it would be weird if BS' fans at dkos didn't vote for him.

But, out here in the big wide world.. people have other ideas.

Mahalo, Me!

Self-selecting participants?

Hindsight is 2020!!!
Vote for Bernie & Elizabeth!!!

Have you heard no one goes to KOS anymore? It’s gone the way of AOL!

It would be great in a sig line.

For instance:

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/1/26/1475362/-Daily-Kos-Democratic-Primary-Straw-Poll-1-26-15


The straw polls tell you much more about Daily Kos than about Bernie's chances.

Middlebury, Vermont..

Boom!

Again.

147 voted against Kamala
167 voted against Bernie

Congrats to the students at Middlebury for their mock poll and enrolling in this poli sci course. They are the future! (unless it was an elective )

Mahalo!

I watch his FB live feeds. Thousands watch those and comment and they are young, old, POC, men woman. Very few sling bile, most are very positive.

If I mention that I voted for HRC, I get all sorts of bad mouth.

When I say I supported Bernie, I get shit from no one, whether liberal or conservative.

One only gets bad mouth on DU for liking Bernie.

He can draw crowds to rallys. He can draw money.

His problem is that he can’t draw votes nationally.

I was part of those massive crowds during primary season. Problem is he can’t seem to motivate those ppl to vote.

I think the people who engaged did vote, but his name recognition was so low to start that the less engaged people who just caught occasional news shows and only saw the primary from that perspective didn't know him well enough to choose him. This time around, his name recognition is huge so it may well be a very different picture.

But that doesn’t jive with the fact that Bernie could fill an arena anywhere he went. He stired such passions in ppl that, when he lost the primary, it significantly disrupted everything from DU to the DNC in ways that still impact us to this day.

I like Bernie, that his ideals are shaping the public discourse in positive and constructive ways with respect to income inequality, healthcare and education.

That said, the majority of his support base is young, reactivate and superficial. They are all for events, marching and talking but don’t want to commit to anything that may require long term work and focused effort that may require more than a week to do. They can’t even take the time to stand in line to vote.

The best way to beat the man is be the man. That requires actual voting and all the work required after your candidate wins.

Bernie will not be the nominee. But one thing will change relative to 2016. We wont have to listen to Sanders supporters saying “Well, just wait until people get to know Bernie1!1” Like we did well into the spring of 2016 when it was clear he wasn’t going to be the nominee.

so it may well be a different picture.

Like the first piggy's house.

of Democrats nationwide. Results of online polling there are skewed sharply to the left, and don't have much meaning for the general Democratic electorate.

Enjoy while it lasts!

But people outside those groups get to vote too.

Record breaking front runner so far
