Undecided at 40% leads LATEST Massachusetts Poll [View all]

Woah.

When given a choice in an early poll, the overwhelming winner in the latest Massachusetts Poll is Undecided at 40%.

No one else even comes close to Undecided, with the closest actual candidate getting only ~half that in support.

The results:

Biden 22%
Warren 10%
Buttigieg 8%
Sanders 6%

This pretty much mirrors what we see here on DU with our Primary Preference poll. The undecided DU-ers also remain at ~40%.

The reason why is simple, I think. Voters want to see and hear more from ALL the candidates. They have not gotten enough feedback yet to settle on a definitive choice because there have been no debates, no primaries, no caucuses and serious campaigning has barely started.

I wish all polls would give voters the chance to choice "undecided", that allows a more accurate picture of voter preference to emerge.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

That happens too, but your point is valid, there are a lot of undecided voters, and they want more still_one Jun 2019 #12
That isn't necessarily a push poll, but it indicates as you said an insufficient poll because it still_one Jun 2019 #20
