In reply to the discussion: Poll: 57% of Dem. voters want candidates "more like Bernie Sanders" [View all]George II
(67,782 posts).....of officeholders, or why the question wasn't asked about any Democrats? The question was asked about a republican, and Independent, and no Democrats.
Also, the OP singles out just one of several "demographics", i.e., "Democrats", others were ignored, i.e.,
Gender (more/less):
Males 33-45%
Females 33%-32%
Age (more/less):
18-29 38%-29%
30-44 36%-27%
45-64 31%-41% (generally the largest voting age group)
65+ 28%-57%
Race (more/less):
White 30%-45%
Black 45%-14%
Hispanic 33%-33%
Party ID (more/less):
ALL 33%-38%
Democratic 57%-16%
Independent 27%-35%
republican 13%-74%
Also, a number of UNregistered "voters" were included in those polled.
This poll is highly questionable and the one single conclusion mentioned in the OP is only a small fraction of all those polled, and the one group chosen to single out just happened to be among the % "in favor".
Also, curiously even though questions were asked of Clinton voters but the question wasn't asked about Clinton.
This was far far from an objective poll.
