3. As posted in another thread.. this poll samples Republicans too

MORE ON METHODOLOGY
A total of 1,156 adults, including an oversample of 150 adults living in 15 battleground states: Arizona, Colorado,
Florida, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin, were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both
landline and cell phones. Oversampled states have been weighted to represent their proper share of the adult
population. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish. Among the entire sample, 32% described
themselves as Democrats, 26% described themselves as Republicans, and 42% described themselves as
independents or members of another party.

-------------
Other interesting results are that
"who has best chance to beat Trump?"
Biden 45
Sanders 24

5. I am undecided but if Incorruptible Joe does best against Trump he's my guy for now.

7. The Republicans were included in the GE poll, only Dems and Dem-leaning independents when other

questions were asked.

4. I am skeptical of national polls because states and the electoral college determine the winner

Because of that process I think it is critical that when choosing our nominee we have to consider which nominee has the best chance of getting most electoral college votes. In my view that means we need a candidate who can be competitive in critical purple states, and perhaps even one or two red states.

6. The larger the popular vote victory the less likely it is to diverge from the Electoral College.

It's really hard to see a scenario where the Democrat wins the popular vote by ten points and loses the Electoral College.

8. The Gore verses bush and Clinton verses trump are examples where the popular vote did not match the

EC vote.

I understand what you are saying DSB, but in the end it seems to come down to a few key states because of the electoral college

In fact that Nixon's Southern Strategy was based on as I understand it

Also, what complicates the issues, state that used to be fairly reliably blue, and now purple. Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Florida etc

9. Gore won by 7/10 of a point. Hillary won by 2 points.

Ten points is asking a lot.

10. Agreed. Everything will depend on voter turnout
