190. "The [poll] ONLY included about a DOZEN politicians"... oookayyy.

Mon Oct 16, 2017, 08:35 PM

Oct 2017

So, which notable(s), if included on that list would knock Bernie off his lofty perch? (TODAY, not some hypothetical day in the future.)

In any case, indeed, Bernie's the ONLY politician polled who enjoys a rating that is above water. That makes him the most popular politician in America today. Why can't you just give Bernie his due? Is it really that hard?

That doesn't necessarily mean his #1 popularity status will last well into the future, or that you're endorsing him by merely recognizing his popularity... just recognize that there's a significant group of people who do view him positively... that's all.

Nina Turner on BERNIE SANDERS at the Women's Convention [View all] Purveyor Oct 2017 OP

So all women of color agree with Nina Turner? JHan Oct 2017 #1

I gotta laugh though. JHan Oct 2017 #6

I gotta love ya though. sheshe2 Oct 2017 #7

Sanders does better among black women than any other group Quixote1818 Oct 2017 #69

Look that harvis Harris poll has been debunked JHan Oct 2017 #71

Sorry, no it hasn't Quixote1818 Oct 2017 #72

I edited my comment for that reason. JHan Oct 2017 #73

Sorry, but your little graphic doesn't make your case that anyone elected Ninsianna Oct 2017 #81

"Joy Reid hating "white" dude" ??? Quixote1818 Oct 2017 #111

Why use a descriptive term for the video you posted? Ninsianna Oct 2017 #132

Nope, never said Nina Turner is all black women??? Quixote1818 Oct 2017 #137

Oh, I see you edited out calling Hillary Clinton a Goldwater Girl in your post. betsuni Oct 2017 #153

I edited it out because I felt it was going to be divisive Quixote1818 Oct 2017 #161

I've never seen any other politician held responsible for what they did at sixteen years old. betsuni Oct 2017 #163

So you don't think it would have been divisive then? Quixote1818 Oct 2017 #209

Do these guys have a list of things they paste from? Ninsianna Oct 2017 #173

Clinton's favorables were in the high 60's when she left the Dept of State emulatorloo Oct 2017 #155

Did I say 'all'? Nope, you said most black women based on things you can't back up. Ninsianna Oct 2017 #171

Why did you post a video calling Joy Reid a "sellout"? George II Oct 2017 #182

to suggest her views don't mater BainsBane Oct 2017 #192

Joy Reid is probably one of the most respected and revered AA woman progressive "pundit".... George II Oct 2017 #194

Nope, because the video shows most black women have a high favor-ability of Sanders. Quixote1818 Oct 2017 #211

it is not a fact. It's false BainsBane Oct 2017 #216

Except for the fact that it doesn't say that at all, nor does any poll show that. Ninsianna Oct 2017 #220

Because it was the first place I had seen the stats on Sanders polling with black folks. nt Quixote1818 Oct 2017 #210

Sorry, you should re-read the heading of the video. According to that... George II Oct 2017 #202

The polls asked about 9 and 12 public figures BainsBane Oct 2017 #196

Not surprising... Bernie is popular with ALL groups, across the board... and for good reason! InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2017 #78

Except all the groups across the board who are not allowed to speak, right? Ninsianna Oct 2017 #167

I silenced people? I made a vote? I have a plan? Havent the slightest idea what you're talkin about. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2017 #187

"Popular with ALL groups"? On what is this based? George II Oct 2017 #184

How do you think he got to be the most popular politician in America right now? InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2017 #188

He's not the most popular politician in America. If you're referring to the Harvard-Harris poll.... George II Oct 2017 #189

"The [poll] ONLY included about a DOZEN politicians"... oookayyy. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2017 #190

Well, I can only assume the poll to which you're referring, you weren't specific, but most likely.. George II Oct 2017 #191

Other than Obama, who's obviously not eligible to run for Prez again in 2020... InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2017 #195

The premise behind the poll wasn't prospective presidential candidates. It was simply... George II Oct 2017 #199

You make some good points and I, for one, certainly don't consider the poll "definitive" InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2017 #200

Thanks. I doubt we'll see a poll of prospective candidates, an all-inclusive one, at least.... George II Oct 2017 #201

I certainly HOPE not until 2019... we need to focus on the 2018 congressional races, in a BIG way!! InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2017 #203

You do realize that the Harvard-Harris poll gave respondents only a limited list of "policitians"... George II Oct 2017 #96

Joy Reid is a sellout? lapucelle Oct 2017 #98

Did you see his FB page? Lots of money to be made promoting division. Ninsianna Oct 2017 #169

Say it ain't so. sheshe2 Oct 2017 #181

Yes, but The RatNat's activism has been de-monitized by Youtube! lapucelle Oct 2017 #185

Poor dear. Even if theyd didn't, isn't the Bernie market rather saturated? Ninsianna Oct 2017 #221
