to Trump AMONG DEMOCRATS! Backed it up and listened again to be sure and that IS what she said. I can't access the Washington Post site to check this, but surely she is wrong---intentionally or unintentionally.
Can anyone here check this out?

(10,870 posts)Warren may be polling behind Trump amongst all voters. But not with Dems only. No way

(39,369 posts)The wingnut machine has tried to pull the plug on Warrens campaign before the lights get turned on. Too late. Shes running and she will break through their bullshit, starting today. People are struggling and Warren speaks more directly to their reality and what to do about it than any other politician in America. Sorry, Sippy.

her hair went all-for Trump... but, honestly, Elizabeth Warren's looks better than either of them!

Warren wins them all, except for a couple of ties, the latest of which was Feb 2018. Most are by PPP, which is a Democratic polling outfit; but Rasmussen had Warren leading Trump by 2 points last October.

(43,049 posts)it makes no difference because there will be plenty of polls before this thing wrings itself out.
Save your anger until you can use it.

(41,129 posts)MSNBC's RWinger SE Cupp on now with the "democrat- leaning poll" showing Warren coming in last.
And they're all over the 'race' issue and "Warren's electability." Blah, blah
Warren is a big threat obviously.

(38,958 posts)This week She is up until there is a hiccup of some small issue blown way out of proportion in the Breathless 24/7 Cable Noise Infotainment. Next Week He's up and doing well in some obscure poll with 12 people and a cat responding, but Oh Noes, by week end a new face has entered the run and all the oxygen is taken out of the room. Followed by the discovery that as a child the fresh face pushed another kid in the hall way in grammar school so that will take several news cycles between the pharmaceutical ads to discuss. Week 4 She will make a strong speech and return to the top of the polling, but will it be enough to overcome the whispered stories of her 3rd cousin 14 times removed being addicted to Snickers Bars? In the meantime He will get tongue tied turning an interview having not had enough sleep and there will be questions of his age and can he really serve? The Fresh Face will suddenly soar to the top on word of a fundraiser far exceeding its goals of $12.47.
Rinse and repeat but be sure to allow time for more ads for drugs we never knew we needed and the anchors hawking their latest books on The Crisis in the Media.

So less than half have a preference at all and of those with a preference at most 9% had picked a candidate, Joe Biden. Somehow I doubt this means very much in the long term. Of course, Sippy loves it since it throws shade on Elizabeth Warren who is a much smarter woman and better person than Sippu Cupp ever will be.

(11,451 posts)I dont know how we will be able to trust any polls. I know I never will again.
Ask Hillary they all had her way ahead.
Until the night of the election no one will really know for sure. That is going to make some very insecure democrats.
