(62,325 posts)polling. And as a matter of fact, you are not alone in this. I saw a request today on Twitter asking if there was some credible polling organization we could get to poll Independents on this election. All we see here are polls of the Dem base.
Since Bernie is far more likely to get the Indy vote, no Corporate candidate can expect to get that vote since they are the reason why former Dems are now registered Independents, than Hillary, and since he himself talked about that huge voting bloc, the largest now in the country, I am far more interested in that vote than the smaller dem base vote, which Bernie already has 15% of , up from 3% in Jan/Feb.
And as you say, corporate run polls are not that reliable. No one eg, has ever called this house or anyone I know. But it is interesting that there are so many 'polls' today, in this thread eg. And there a kind of amnesia appears to have set in regarding the almost weekly polls we were seeing with Hillary over 80% in every single one until Bernie entered the race. I did point out that she has fallen quite a bit from those days, down now to between approx 54% - 60%. That is quite a drop, however no one seems to remember those polls anymore. Is it just me? Lol!
