"Wow! Latest ISideWith Results Show Sanders Winning in All 50 States"

168. Well every candidate has the same opportunity to do well in an online poll.

The rules are the same for all of them.

So why are there so many polls showing Bernie the winner?

Here on DU eg, no one can vote more than once, we get to see who is voting.

If the results were the other way around, I have a feeling we wouldn't be hearing how irrelevant they are.

All polls are irrelevant at this point imo.

What they do is show where the enthusiasm is for a candidate.

Young people eg, who are a driving force in Bernie's campaign, using the internet to campaign for him, helping people to know when there are events in their areas.

What is so 'scientific' about traditional polls? Most of the ones we see here are polling only registered Dems and mostly of that number, Dems still using landlines. That leaves out a whole lot of voters who are not being polled.
