1. um, non-Biden supporters are voting in your poll

I mean, if they have other preferred candidates than Biden, or have undecided, that makes this poll misleading.

there are several doing that for Bloomberg, for example.

7. The great majority of declared Biden supporters picked Bloomberg

I count 17 declared Biden supporters picking Bloomberg. It doesn't look like the poll is misleading even if members who have other candidates picked as their preference or are undecided voted too.

[bluewater]

8. "I count 17 declared Biden supporters" Hmmm, Out of 27 in that poll?

So 10 out of 27 were not. That's 37%.

To me, and this is just my opinion, but I would call a graphic that is 37% off misleading or erroneous.

Your mileage might differ.

[Kaleva]

9. If you look at the Biden supporters only, the great majority went for Bloomberg

Next is Amy who 7 Biden supporters picked.

[bluewater]

10. Which was not being disputed. The graphic is just misleading to the degree.

A 37% overage is a significant difference.

Thanks for doing the head count on that.

[Kaleva]

11. The graph does look misleading

Here is what I count:

Bloomberg- 17 Biden supporters

Amy - 7 Biden supporters

Pete - 4 Biden supporters

Warren - 2 Biden supporters

The 1 vote for Bernie is Undecided.

2. I was afraid of this

I fear that the Biden voters will either not vote, or support some moderate republican over the democratic nominee. Bloomberg is the "Jill Stein" of the moderates. I hope he doesn't decide to go "independent" in the general. There was a NBC based poll that showed Hillary supporters were overwhelmingly opposed to a Sanders nomination. This is going to get interesting.

5. We will support the nominee

but work hard to make sure it isn't Sanders. We WANT to keep.the house

13. Bloomberg was a lifelong Democrat before he re-registered as a Republican solely to avoid a very

crowded Democratic primary when he ran for mayor of NYC.

He's a moderate Democrat, true, but he's nothing like Jill Stein, whose candidacy helped elect Trump.

Sanders has been critical of the Democratic Party way too often in the past, and he's been a Democrat only briefly, when he wanted to run for president as a Democrat (since he knew he'd get absolutely nowhere trying to run for president as an independent). And his top aides and surrogates include a number of people who were Jill Stein supporters.

[zipplewrath]

17. Opposite sides of the same coin

Bloomberg is in because he doesn't like the people that may be nominated. That's not a whole lot different than the Stein types that didn't like HRC being the nominee. I'm curious if he will actually accept/support a Bernie or Warren type nominee or work to undermine it.

[Kaleva]

18. Every candidate running thinks they'd be a better president then any other candidate.

[highplainsdem]

19. Bloomberg is in because he thinks he has a better chance against Trump than the others. Which is

the same reason the others are in the race, isn't it?

He's said he'll help the nominee even if it isn't him, and there's no reason to doubt him. And he can provide a lot more help than the others.

And in the meantime, if he does what he can to ensure the party doesn't nominate someone he feels is too far left to win, how in hell is that any different from those who don't want a moderate to win?

[spicysista]

3. This is a bit complicated for me.

Biden is my 4th choice. He's my 1st choice now because he's the only one I truly believe can win a multifaceted coalition in the general election. I will vote for any person who is a Democrat. I just don't use that term as loosely as some others.

[Quackers]

6. Not a Biden supporter, so I can't vote. I'll bump your poll though. nt

[Zolorp]

12. I Like Mike.

[helpisontheway]

14. I voted for Bloomberg but my heart is saying Amy..

I think Bloomberg might have a better chance to beat Trump.

[Happyhippychick]

15. Bloomberg/Amy makes me happy

[Green Line]

16. That would work for me

[highplainsdem]

20. I like Klobuchar a lot. That could be a winning ticket.
