In reply to the discussion: Warren, Sanders beat Hillary in poll of DFA members [View all]wyldwolf
(43,891 posts)It's certainly nice to hear good news about your candidate (or non-candidate in this case) but to think this reflects the reality of the Democratic Party at large is naive.
These are points that should also be considered from the linked article:
DFA grew out of the 2004 presidential campaign of Howard Dean, who has said publicly that hes supporting Hillary Clinton in 2016.
The poll is not scientific and should be read with plenty of caveats, but offers the temperature of one group of committed progressive activists. For instance, Ready for Warren, a super PAC which is trying to draft the senator into the race, has been sending emails to supporters this week urging them to vote for Warren in the DFA poll.
Larger public opinion surveys show Clinton in a dominant position in the likely 2016 Democratic presidential field, even among progressives
Good luck to Elizabeth Warren. She's being rewarded for her loyalty to Clinton and the Democratic party.
