82. Single issue voters tend to be christian fundamentalists.

They are notorious for voting against their own best interests and for republicans. Even worse they are mainly responsible for the tea-publican politicians that give them a steady dose of what Christian fundamentalists love most... fear. The fundies also do one thing well. They all vote. Why else do you think we have gems in congress like Louie Gohmert and Steve King.

WE MUST VOTE!

A 3.4% margin of error makes it a virtual tie... but this is still really good news! Bubzer Sep 2015 #53

It's called Momentum........and Bernie's got it!!! LongTomH Sep 2015 #56

This is a POLL. In a POLL, it is a TIE if it is within the margin of error -- 3.4% for this poll. pnwmom Sep 2015 #59

It's a lead in a poll. nt thereismore Sep 2015 #63

No, it isn't. It's a statistical tie in this statistical poll. pnwmom Sep 2015 #75

headline should be...hillary loses 20 point lead questionseverything Sep 2015 #84

And that would be true. n/t pnwmom Sep 2015 #85

It's a nominal lead, which is statistically insignificant. thereismore Sep 2015 #87

Right. And that's why this is especially good news for Bernie. pnwmom Sep 2015 #76

Technically a lead... Could be considered a tie... cascadiance Sep 2015 #64

"Technically" it is NOT a lead. In a poll that relies on statistical science, this is a tie. pnwmom Sep 2015 #68

NO! Technically, in NUMBER OF VOTES COUNTED, a lead is a lead!! cascadiance Sep 2015 #69

This is not a vote. This is a POLL. It is just a SAMPLE of the voting population, pnwmom Sep 2015 #70

You again are dealing with semantics... cascadiance Sep 2015 #73

No, I'm dealing with the science of statistics connected with polling a sample pnwmom Sep 2015 #86

You might be right, but it also indicates that 30% are single issue voters, and that is kind of bad still_one Sep 2015 #43
