Democrats say Hillary won the second debate

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The most recent Democrat debate took place in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris. CBS, the moderators of the debate, decided to tack on questions about foreign policy and terrorism at the last minute to address the recent attacks. Hillary Clinton, former secretary of state and one-time supporter of the Iraq War, clashed over Middle Eastern policy, with Hillary Clinton going a step further than President Obama in calling for the 'defeat' not 'containment' of ISIS, while Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders argued that the Iraq War is largely to blame for the rise of ISIS.

45% of Democrats who are registered voters say that they watched at least clips of the debate, though only 11% say that they watched the entire debate. Of this group Hillary Clinton is regarded to have won, with 54% saying that Clinton won the debate, while 17% say that Bernie Sanders won. 6% say that Martin O'Malley won the debate.

1. Not this one(Dem).

I don't see any way she won that one.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Your opinion is duly noted...You are one of the 24%

Oh, and thank you for kicking my thread.

[JonLeibowitz]

3. ...23%

You're welcome for another kick, even though this seems like bad news for my candidate.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. You are welcome, I think.

[JonLeibowitz]

5. Thanks, I don't think I needed to see the chart again.

I don't think an opinion poll says who won the debate. That isn't what "winning a debate" is about. It is about making a more convincing case and exposing your opponent as a weaker candidate and flip-flopper owned by corporate America and the military-industrial complex. Which Bernie did in spades.

If people fail to realize that, we deserve the disastrous presidency that HRC's would surely be. I weep for our democracy, sincerely, if HRC is nominated.

(I now await a snarky response, which I will ignore, so good night to you sir)

Insulting a person and not letting him or her respond reflects more on the person doing the insulting than it can ever reflect on the person who was insulted.

[JonLeibowitz]

7. I did not insult you

I do however note that it is extremely poor form to completely change the content of a post without a note explaining the edit. Other readers may then be misled as to what the conversation really was about:

8. Mea culpa. i edited my response.

9. YouGov kinda sucks.

But, as their rankings are in line with other, more reputable polls, they get a pass this time.

1. Yup.

And then, here's how it plays out within the next week:

Online Polls: Sanders, That Other Guy, Armageddon
Chattering Class: O'Malley, Clinton, Sanders
Actual Polls: Clinton, Sanders, O'Malley

11. Only 7% of those polled actually watched the whole debate

43% of those polled didn't even know a debate had occurred. From the link in the OP ROFL.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Isn't that good? Less people saw Senator Sanders lose another debate

EOM

[AgingAmerican]

13. So you admit your own poll is crap

First honesty I have ever seen out of you on this subject.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. WoW -an ad hominem and a non-sequitur.

I see a trifecta coming.

[AgingAmerican]

15. 43% of those polled didn't even know a debate had occurred

According to the PDF at YOUR link.

22. WoW means World of Warcraft

25. WoW

lol

[AgingAmerican]

10. Only 7% of those polled actually watched the whole debate

And 43% of those polled didn't even know there had been a debate. The linked PDF tells the real story.

It is a poll measuring name recognition.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. You seem emotionally invested in a debate you are saying nobody watched, why?

EOM

[AgingAmerican]

17. You and your name recognition polls

Go on back to your digging...


Oh, and just who is emotionally invested in polls?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. "You and your name recognition polls"

Why is it that every group who isn't inclined to deify him is too ill informed to know who he is?

SMH


Thank you in advance.

[AgingAmerican]

19. You are emotionally invested in polling, even if they are crap

Now go on back to your digging.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. You are emotionally invested in insulting me.

I would literally rather die than give you the satisfaction of responding in kind.

[AgingAmerican]

21. There are POLLS out there!

That you haven't posted yet. Dig!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. Insulting me seems to be cathartic for you and being the empathetic person I am

Insulting me seems to be cathartic for you and being the empathetic person I am I want to help you work your way through your pain.

Please insult me again...I will be here until all the pain has left your body.

27. I cant believe Bernie Sanders scored so high

he looked like an angry old fart about to explode.

[Alfresco]

28. Charts and Graphs

are an excellent way to visualize progress.
Thanks.

[Amimnoch]

29. Great News! I too support the Democratic Candidate that is and has been an actual Democrat.

She'll make such a great president.

I can't wait to see her continue the great legacy of success and progress that President Obama has started.

[NCTraveler]

31. Paul supporters heads explode.

I see no way people saw what they did and O'Malley is behind Sanders in their view of who won. The outcome was clear, Clinton and O'Malley were the only two serious people on stage.

[Scuba]

32. Other Democrats say Bernie won. Still other Democrats say Martin won.

The only polls that matter start in Iowa in a couple months.

They would be a part of the minority that said Bernie lost another debate. Maybe it's not his forte.
