1. I wish there was a way to get us all to submit to this pulse check. I really am interested and I....

I think the options are very good.

2. The results of this poll are completely the opposite of real world polls.

Interesting.

[Scuba]

3. DU members are largely political junkies, much better informed than the average voter.

[onehandle]

5. That's absolutely true. It's not the reason. But you nailed that. nt

10. Most Hillary supporters have abandoned DU. This is a hostile forum and not worth the aggravation. I

stay because I refuse to be chased off.

[Agschmid]

14. Junkies doesn't necessarily mean better informed.

4. Or some people just don't want to play in this poll.

7. Agreed. The same people that won't comment on a thread that discusses Sen Warren

giving hell to Wall Street, or threads that discuss fracking, the TPP, drone killing, etc. The two wings of the Democratic Party are obviously represented here in DU.

16. There might be various reasons...

I have reservations about these polls because I encountered threads early spring which use indicated use of such polls to create black-ball lists of people who support opposing candidates. I don't know if anyone shares my experience but there it is.

Also if you think that DU produces biased polls toward a candidate who isn't your choice, you might want to make those polls look even more out of whack...not playing could do that...

But, I'm not a mind read, have no idea of why people do or don't participate, and recognize it's entirely their choice.

9. The Hillary supporters aren't voting

There are more than 6 here.

[onehandle]

11. Let's say 10x that many voted. Nope. Still not reflecting real polls.

[Zorra]

13. They know in their hearts that Bernie is the best candidate, so they don't vote. nt

[NCTraveler]

15. Almost exactly opposite. nt.

[Autumn]

6. It will be interesting to see if this follows the last one.

[mmonk]

8. Because his policies are more aligned with me.

I am not of the group think that I can vote against my interests due to the blue vs red thingy. That would be like the poor white southerners always voting against their interests.

12. Next time add an option for undecided please :-) n/t
