Microsoft News Poll: Buttigieg breaks out of the pack in Democratic debate.

[StevieM]

~snip~

Wednesday's debate was a breakout moment for Pete Buttigieg among Democratic and independent voters. Microsoft News polls taken before and after the debate also found significantly weakened support for Joe Biden.

Support for Buttigieg jumped 5 percentage points, placing him in a narrow lead. Biden's support fell 6 points. That leaves the race with two leaders with a virtual tie when accounting for the margin of error. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren were also tied. There was little change among Kamala Harris and other lower-ranked candidates.

1. Its really pretty simple

The more you see and hear from Pete the more you like him. He is a special politician.

3. I thought he did great, he handled Tulsi like he was brushing a fly off his shoulder

I had to lololol at the TYT/DSA/Sirota/BoB'er/Justice Dem twittersphere who said she ended his candidacy with the Mexico exchange.



they are fucking delusional

4. I have been warming to Mayor Pete as the campaign has progressed.

He ticked me off in the beginning with his unfair remark that HRC's slogan in 2016 was "I'm with her." It wasn't. It was "Stronger Together."

But I am moving past that. And there have been a lot of crazy analyses about the 2016 election so I guess I just have to tolerate a certain amount of the insanity.

On the balance I find Buttigieg to be a very impressive candidate. I am moving in the direction of supporting him in the primaries.

7. I have liked him from the beginning.

And only like him more now.

Still not at the top of my list but I have nothing bad to say about him. Only positive.

2. "Microsoft poll" seems not to meet the requirements

For inclusion in RCP or fivethirtyeight.
This poll isn't listed in either aggregator.

5. Methodology

In this poll, responses before the debate were collected from 3,314 people on Nov. 10-20. After the debate, responses were collected Nov. 20-21 from 2,769 people.

Responses were collected on more than 300 sites across the U.S. and analyzed by polling firm CivicScience to model how demographic groups answered each question. Answers were then projected onto the true distribution of those demographic groups. The poll has a margin of error of +- 2 percentage points.

The method is as accurate as traditional polling methods. Learn more about the methodology and its historical validation.

6. This is an inconsequential self-selecting online poll.

8. it seems to have a low MOE and it is a large sample and backed up by sound methodology
