I'm not seeing that on the site, either. JudyM Feb 2016 #13
It doesn't. They don't post numbers. The op is playing a game cali Feb 2016 #26
As noted, your link indicates nothing of the sort. OilemFirchen Feb 2016 #14

That said, being off by 30% would be pretty spectacular even for exit polls.

Seriously, I read that somewhere here on DU from a Hillarian.

About 40% voting in the dem primary are independents. The top issue for the voters are income inequality. There are a lot more indicators pointing to a landslide victory for Bernie.

Kind of a dumb flat statement to make without any votes in yet.

Roughly one in seven Democratic voters is younger than 30 in preliminary results, similar to recent years. They were a remarkably strong group for Sanders in Iowa, where he won 84 percent of caucus-goers younger than 30. On the other end, more than two in 10 voters are seniors, up from 13 percent in 2008,


This suggests differently.

And was ready to comment the gracious nature of the OP since it's not common from them.

Then I read the whole thing. Shaking my head.

Seriously, who's side are you working on anyway.

Edited to add: Never mind. You've made clear your support for Hillary.
