1) This is a good poll which if accurate, based on the continued under sampling of Bernie “normally not likely” supporters, would mean Bernie would probably win Iowa. The article written about it is trash however
2) Good poll for Bernie I mean. The poll itself is pretty shaky since it inexplicably has Warren winning the 18-29 vote while Bernie wins the 30-44 vote and leads Warren with 45- 64. Also I’m pretty sure Bernie is actually at 20%, not 19%, based on the gender split weighting.
3) And yes, once again the only reason Bernie isn’t way ahead is because Baby Boomers, specifically those 65 and up, hate Bernie. Really going to need people guilting their Boomer parents to vote for Bernie and stop ignoring climate change
4) But let’s look at how the NY Times frames their own poll in the article they published. The headline is a giveaway that the article is going to suck.
5) this is the first Iowa poll from this pollster which makes the below comments make no sense. Warren has a lower % than she does in some of the other Iowa polls while Mayor Pete is back behind Bernie so how is this how they describe it?
6) And as always, Bernie potentially being the first Jewish President is omitted.
7) Make no mistake the analysis is designed to promote Warren and Mayor Pete while all but ignoring Bernie. This is perhaps best shown by the question they asked voters about age. Instead of asking about candidates 70 and over like most polls have, they asked about 75 and over
8) which allows them to say that voters are wary of Bernie and Biden’s age, while ignoring Warren’s age as she‘s 70. And the 3 people they included, just happened to support Warren, Mayor Pete, and Biden. Funny how they didn’t include a Bernie supporter....
9) I posted so much today, that I have no memory of this thread, which I guess I forgot about in my rage from the CNN clip covering the above poll
