1. Nice Republican spin in your headline.

Trump wins in the fantasy "another candidate" polls but loses when only the actual candidates are options.

[SFnomad]

9. Actually, tRump doesn't even "win" ... it's within the polls MOE so it's a statistical tie n/t

[imagine2015]

11. That has to be real encouraging to the former Senator from Wall Street!

[SFnomad]

22. It just continues to show how disingenuous you are ... tick tock, tick tock ... n/t

[LoverOfLiberty]

2. Sounds like you are pleased

with this poll.

[imagine2015]

12. It's just more evidence that if you want to beat Trump you need Bernie to do it.

Don't you get it?

Hillary is toast if she captures the nomination.

[LoverOfLiberty]

38. You just keep telling yourself that

if it makes you feel better.

And since Sanders is now out of the picture as the nominee, we can move forward with Hillary on to victory in November.

If you want to sit it out be my guest.

[leftynyc]

3. LOL

Nice spin. Tick tock. 2 more days of this bullshit.

[KansDem]

4. WOW!! Look at that spread!

Bernie Sanders 52% Donald Trump 39% No answer 9% Sanders +13%

But, alas...the Oligarchs didn't want him...

[CrowCityDem]

7. She's beating trump by comfortable margins despite the decades of negative press.

Do you really think Bernie's numbers would stay like that if he faced a full-scale attack? They would drop, and then we'd see two candidates with relatively similar numbers against Trump.

[RogerM]

26. Sanders Lost

Sanders fkin lost. If you cant get over it you at least we wont hear about it after June 16th.

[Agschmid]

27. Bernie isn't going to be the nominee...

[Lord Magus]

10. The voters are not oligarchs. -nt-

[KansDem]

13. "The voters are not oligarchs"

Of course not! That's why Sanders is doing well in this poll.

I was referring to these oligarchs--

[Lord Magus]

31. The voters are the ones who chose Hillary to be the nominee. -nt-

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. it's not the oligarchs, it's regular Democratic voters.

[CrowCityDem]

5. So the only way Trump wins is if there's a 'mystery candidate' people can fantasize about.

[Lord Magus]

32. Bingo.

Too bad for Donald of Orange that there won't be a "fantasize your own ideal candidate" option on the general election ballot.

[onehandle]

6. This poll was fully explored for the crapola it is yesterday.

Keep up.

[imagine2015]

8. You should read the poll before commenting on it. What you claimed is impossible!

You claimed: "This poll was fully explored for the crapola it is yesterday."

That's impossible.

Why?

Because this poll could not be "explored yesterday" on DU before it was even released this morning!

It was released this morning as the post clearly indicates.

I have to wonder if you also write movie reviews about films you haven't seen and that haven't been released yet in theaters.

So please.

Do everyone a favor.

Before you attack a post read it first to avoid looking foolish!

Will you do that?

Keep up!

Thank you.

14. I can tell it is a BS poll. Also it is a survey do you get that?

Bernie is still listed ...not legitimate. By the way, Survey Monkey is a paid polling outfit...and has 'customizable' polls. Hardly a source I would pay attention to but then I am not a Bernie supporter or a Trump supporter.


"Cloud-based polling service SurveyMonkey informed employees today that it is letting go of about 100 people in a plan to retool its product aimed at businesses, which is not living up to expectations.

The layoffs were to be disclosed at an internal meeting this afternoon. The cuts amount to about 13 percent of SurveyMonkey’s workforce of about 750. The cuts were made primarily among the sales team devoted to SurveyMonkey for Business.

The company hired two new execs to run that group last week: Steve Norall was named senior VP for business product, and Brad O’Neill was appointed senior VP for global sales.

The move comes six weeks into the tenure of SurveyMonkey’s new CEO Zander Lurie, the former GoPro exec who joined in January. In an interview, Lurie told Re/code that SurveyMonkey, which is privately held, is on track to post $200 million in 2016 with an Ebitda profit margin of north of 30 percent."

[imagine2015]

18. I get it. The only polls you trust are ones that show Hillary leading Trump.

That's for your talking point on irrelevant stuff like polling service profits, layoffs, etc.,

Is it your original talking point or did someone from the Hillary campaign send it to you for posting?

[Demsrule86]

35. this outfit does polls and surveys for money ...customizable.

And the fact Bernie is still in it shows it is bull shit.

[LenaBaby61]

21. Thank you for reaffirming the fact that this is a 'customizable' poll...

"By the way, Survey Monkey is a paid polling outfit...and has 'customizable' polls. Hardly a source I would pay attention to."

For the very reason in the bolded above is why I never gave much weight to Survey Monkey, even when teamed with NBC. Plus I went though the methodology of their polling early last month and it left a bad taste in my mouth. It's bad enough this "poll" has the 2016 Presidential race framed as a 3-way race, when in reality it's a 2 person race now: Hillary vs Trump.

[Demsrule86]

36. Exactly right nt. Thanks for that ...you did the heavy lifting.

[BootinUp]

16. Her lead is clearly increasing

[wyldwolf]

17. today we've seen Bernie followers pin their hopes on a rapist and one statistical tie in poll

[imagine2015]

19. So you think running the weakest Democratic candidate ever for President is a brilliant move!

Abandon Ship!

[wyldwolf]

25. "weakest Democratic candidate ever" says you.

[oasis]

28. Captain Clinton will take full command of the ship. Expect smooth

sailing with no interference at the helm.

[Marr]

33. Exactly, they can't have it both ways.

You can't fearmonger about how horrible and scary Trump is, *and* insist on running a flawed candidate like Hillary Clinton.

[Demsrule86]

37. No

I think running the Democratic nominee who won by all measures is a brilliant move and running a sore loser candidate who has not even conceded...and who lost by all measures is a bad move.

[hollysmom]

20. Democrats lose when people stay home - happens every time - so instead of running on

Trump is bad, they should campaign on Clinton is good because.
The "this person is worse than I am" only works for republicans, I think that is because political brains are wired differently.

[MyNameGoesHere]

24. Sanders who?

Bad poll, there are only 2 candidates running

[MineralMan]

29. Well, once we get busy with GOTV and

campaigning work, that will change quickly. We'll beat Trump and election Hillary Clinton. I know you'll be out there helping with that effort, too.

[Tarc]

30. I find it amusing that some polling places are still spending time on "if Bernie" questions

[NCTraveler]

34. We are in a solid position but have a lot of work to do.

Great job highlighting this positive aspect. You have been on it for awhile.
