Probably a huge MOE there. He won expats in Israel. jfern Apr 2016 #9

Any subgroup has a large MOE RandySF Apr 2016 #16

Exit polls have larger samples and are more accurate jfern Apr 2016 #21

They sampled roughly 150 Latinos RandySF Apr 2016 #23

So what's the sample here? jfern Apr 2016 #26

that was a small group of about 600 total votes JI7 Apr 2016 #29

Much larger than the sample size here jfern Apr 2016 #30

what you showed were specific votes. the op it's a poll on more voters JI7 Apr 2016 #36

this shouldn't be surprising , it's consistent with her support among blacks and hispanics JI7 Apr 2016 #10

Is THIS surpring -from the same poll: Bonobo Apr 2016 #12

That's not surprising either JI7 Apr 2016 #22

What you don't seem to get is that this signifies here recognition as a Neo Liberal. nt Bonobo Apr 2016 #25

It's not a contradiction, because it's NOT from the same poll... but it IS odd. thesquanderer Apr 2016 #117

It's also policy driven. geek tragedy Apr 2016 #24

About this highly unlikely poll... Bonobo Apr 2016 #11

I actually get it nadinbrzezinski Apr 2016 #17

OK, seems weird to me but... looking forward to hearing from you. nt Bonobo Apr 2016 #18

Bernie won expats in Israel 60-39 jfern Apr 2016 #28

that does not represent all or even most expats. there are a lot more JI7 Apr 2016 #33

Gentile expats isn't relevant to this thread jfern Apr 2016 #35

there are way more jewish Americans in israel than 600 JI7 Apr 2016 #37

Well, still he clearly won it jfern Apr 2016 #46

there are like 200 thousand americans in israel. this was a total JI7 Apr 2016 #49

Interesting. HRC's Jewish lead has widened from 8 to 22 points, Surya Gayatri Apr 2016 #56

St. Bernard? BeanMusical Apr 2016 #57

No, just giving due respect to his beatified status among his disciples. Surya Gayatri Apr 2016 #58

Yeah, right. Just like calling him BS is just like calling hillary HRC. BeanMusical Apr 2016 #59

Well, 'ole Bean buddy, YOU said 'BS' means "bullshit". I personally wouldn't have Surya Gayatri Apr 2016 #60

Wow, that's quite a spin and a twist, I'm impressed! BeanMusical Apr 2016 #61

Probably because Bernie called out Israel for using too much force and killing Vinca Apr 2016 #67

One reason Sanders will lose Brooklyn badly is because the Hasidic communities are going for Hillary hrmjustin Apr 2016 #68

Hmmm.... Just curious, since you sound rather pleased. Smarmie Doofus Apr 2016 #69

Good question to which I do not have an answer to. hrmjustin Apr 2016 #71

Appreciate your honesty and integrity. (Always have.) Smarmie Doofus Apr 2016 #72

Hmmm...Jews are only 15% of the Brooklyn population passiveporcupine Apr 2016 #84

I know you are being sarcastic, but... Behind the Aegis Apr 2016 #87

If you know anything about Brooklyn you would know the Hasidic community has higher hrmjustin Apr 2016 #90

And if you know anything about the Hasidic community, they tend to vote Republican. Behind the Aegis Apr 2016 #92

In the general. But if you lived here you would know many of them are still registered Democrats. hrmjustin Apr 2016 #93

So you say, but the numbers say different. Behind the Aegis Apr 2016 #95

Well I know what I see and hear on the ground here. hrmjustin Apr 2016 #96

And I know what I see in the polls, exit polls and Jewish media. Behind the Aegis Apr 2016 #97

In the general but many vote in the Democratic primaries here. hrmjustin Apr 2016 #98
