Most every poll I have seen has Sanders as the #1 to beat trump, I don't get where people get that is not so.

People love the polls when it favours their choice of candidate, but when it favours Sanders then "polls are useless"...how convenient.

There is s DUer who supports Biden, he posted some polls where Biden leads, and "those were great and very accurate polls", then I read a comment he/she made at another post where polls showed Sanders ahead in all counts, and suddenly "polls mean nothing at this phase", talk about having your cake and eating it too.

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