and the top winner in all polls outside of DU never wins a DU poll. Usually it's Warren or Sanders who wins, and by a 10-1 margin.

I just can't imagine who the pollsters are calling or what questions or choices they give in their poll, but nothing they come up with resembles anything in DU.

Are DU'ers freaks or what? Or is something very skewed and we're OK?

Fadedrose, I was sent a "poll" by the dem party (dccc.org?) that only had Hillary, and a few other speculative candidates. I chose "none of the above". No more Cinton, for !@#$'s sake no more Bush. Are these the only two family trees capable of producing candidates? I say, again and again, we need a bold move to real, left of center true progressive platform and candidates.

Lastly, I say @ the 2015 Dem Convention a draft Jay Inslee/Liz Warren movement. That ticket would provide enough coat tails to ensure a filibuster proof Senate and House, and we could finally begin to realize the dreams of both Kennedys, Johnson and FDR. Mac

and as media I cannot play on any of these. It surprised me, the local station calling every cycle is like expected any more.

And they get the same exact answer, as media we can't play.

I haven't been polled in more than 40 years - I think it was Nielsen wanting to know what I was watching. It was "Beach Blanket Bingo."
