In reply to the discussion: Sanders to headline progressive 'People's Summit' [View all]still_one
(98,883 posts)As for the statement being "the most popular politician in America", that is a distortion of what the polling actually said. It was a fox news poll.
It says in the sampling that they did, at a particular moment in time, based on ONLY the names they provided, Sanders had a more favorable view among those who responded than the others who were in the list.
They added the percentage who had a strongly favorable view, plus those who had a somewhat favorable view which were counted all as favorable.
I would ask, what does "somewhat favorable" actually mean? I think it would mean different things to different people. In the same regard what does "somewhat unfavorable" mean?
Is this like being a little bit pregnant? I am not sure
Here is the breakdown adding both strongly favorable and somewhat favorable to the favorable results:
Bernie 61%
PP 57%
ACA 50%
Pence 47%
Trump 44%
Elizabeth Warren 39%
Paul Ryan 37%
Nancy Pelosi 33%
Sanctuary Cities 33%
WikiLeaks 31%
Chuck Schumer 26%
Mitch McConnel 26%
The Freedom Caucus 19%
As I said they included as favorable those who were both strongly favorable and somewhat favorable
If you only take the percent that were Strongly Favorable, the numbers are as follows:
Bernie 33%
PP 39%
ACA 26%
Pence 30%
Trump 30%
Elizabeth Warren 24%
Paul Ryan 13%
Nancy Pelosi 13%
Sanctuary cities 19%
WikiLeaks 11%
Chuck Schumer 11%
Mitch McConnell 35
The Freedom Caucus 6%
This shows Sanders, Pence, and Trump all have essentially the same strongly favorable ratings within the margin of error"
Bernie: 33%
Pence: 30%
Trump: 30%
I wonder what the results would be if Putin was included?

Just the statement that "it will force the Democrats to move to the left", and Winnie Wong, who says:
"Winnie Wong: "The Democratic Party is not your friend." We have to organize ourselves.
tells you that these organizers are NOT Democrats. If they don't want to be Democrats and work within the Democratic party, then F**k Them. They did a good job of f**king the country by either voting third party or not voting in 2016
