YouGov: Sanders nomination would disappoint more primary voters than any other except Tulsi Gabbard

[highplainsdem]

46% of Dems and Dem-leaning independents would be disappointed if Tulsi were our nominee.

28% would be disappointed if Sanders were our nominee.

They were followed by Deval Patrick (25%), Bloomberg (25%), and Bennet (22%).

And then Biden (21%) and Warren (20%).



Among Democrats only, 47% would be disappointed if Tulsi were the nominee.

26% would feel that way about Sanders.

15% would feel that way about Warren.

But only 13% of Dems would feel disappointed about a Biden nomination.

1. But more independent voters would be happier with Bernie.

Bash all you want- it doesn’t help get
the eventual nominee elected in November, to sit here and pull strange poll numbers like that, which aren’t on anyone’s mind.

28% of Dem primary voters represent like less than 10% of overall voters in the fall election. And “disappoint” certainly doesn’t mean they all won’t vote for who the eventual nominee will be. I would be “disappointed” if Biden is the nominee, but if he is, I will work my tail off to get him elected in November.

Please stop with all the negative waves- and lets work to win, not work to derail others.

always with the negative waves!

6. I get the same ugly visceral response from Bernie that I do from trump. Not sure why that is. n/t

7. Not according to the data.

The number of independents who would be disappointed is even higher at 32%.

12. But this is a Democratic Party primary

That’s supposed to be an event in which the Democratic party decides who it wants to represent it as a nominee.

If more than a quarter of the party’s members would be disappointed, it’s a sad day for the party. And the result of the misguided move to more “open” primaries in many states.

This shouldn’t be an occasion for independent voters to decide who they want to run against the Republican. In my mind, they should have a separate independent primary. Go ahead and run your Perot or Anderson. Whatever the cost to one party or another.

2. Swing State Voters would be grateful for Joe Biden!

3. Except Tulsi, they're not too far from each other in the 1st scenario, considering the 3.1 MoE,

but I'm surprised to see Sanders coming out worse rather than better when independents are part of the equation.

4. No matter who you are, you're bound to curb...

...your disappointment.

8. I think the vast majority of us would, regardless of the candidate.

Gabbard would cause me serious pause, but I'd still vote for her if she was the nominee. Luckily, I won't have to face that.

Getting rid of Trump is priority one. The vote for our nominee, regardless, is a no-brainer.

10. I just wish that was the spirit of these threads.

There's enough disappointment out there already.

11. I'll bookmark this poll along with the one showing that...

75% of all people think that 85% of all online polls are 95% bullshit.
