Just saw a poll on MSNBC that said 81% of Democrats

[Number23]

37. Yeah, I just saw the post with over SEVEN HUNDRED votes that's going like 90% Bernie

First of all, I didn't know that 700 people still regularly read DU. That puts a lot of stuff on the Greatest Page in a hell of a perspective. Haven't seen anything come close to getting over 700 recs, don't see stuff with half that number here.

Secondly, that poll was worded in a very interesting way. Said that to forget whether you think someone is electable or not, who would you want? That's a really great way to get an incredibly unexpected reaction. If it was "who do you think will get the Dem nomination?" there would have been a lot less votes and it probably would have gone for Hillary. Wording it that way allows people to really speak from their heart. I also liked the fact that that poll didn't load itself with glowing photos and links touting the record of one candidate and then stupidly asking "who are you going to vote for?" like another (idiotic push) poll did. Just straightforward -- who do you really want? And what a result!

But yeah, this is DU which is still smarting from the great Kucinich love-fest of '08. So I'd take every single poll and (moderately) well rec'd post with a big old grain of salt.
