    Interesting thing looking at the aggregate polls for Dem primaries on RealClearPolitics. All that have Clinton up 30+ are registered voters. Most polling likely voters are only around +15-22. The ones that seem to break this trend are Fox News (RV swayed toward Sanders) and PPD (LV swayed toward Hillary).

    Not sure what it is on Republicans, since there are so many candidates RCP had to leave that data off to show Pataki and others with no chance and I don't feel like clicking through 10 different polls to find if it's RV or LV.
    Makes perfect sense. Sanders voters are more engaged due to his platform of free college tuition and free weed getting college students excited! He also has a cult like following that is only replicated by Trump on the GOP side.

      It's just name recognition. Clearly dems that are paying close attention to policy positions should favor Bernie. "registered voters" in general have only ever heard of one of these people.

        It could also be that Bernie's supporters are rather... pale.

            Yup.

            It is frustrating. Bernie's biggest point of emphasis, systemic inequality, aligns exactly with the biggest threat to African Americans, and is the issue on which Hillary is least dependable. Dude should be polling 80/20 over Hillary among blacks; instead it's the other way.

                It frustrates me. It doesn't really surprise me -- Bill Clinton locked up the black vote for Hillary long ago. In a way it is a Good Thing since it might ameliorate the drop off after the Obama disappointment of black hopes for a transformative presidency.

                  Putin slyly stirred America’s politics by saying Trump is “very talented,” adding that he welcomed Trump’s promise of “closer, deeper relations,” whatever that might mean, with Russia. Trump announced himself flattered to be “so nicely complimented” by a “highly respected” man: “When people call you brilliant, it’s always good.”
                  May have to go worship the porcelain god after reading that exchange.

                    New PPP poll.

                    Supporters of most of the major GOP candidates agree with the basic premise that Islam should be legal in the United States- it's 59/21 with Cruz voters, 67/11 with Bush voters, and 77/10 with Rubio voters. Trump supporters are off on their own on that one too though- just 33% think Islam should be legal to 42% who think it should be illegal. Overall 53% of primary voters think Islam should be allowed to just 26% who don't think it should be.

                    To put some of these findings about real modern day issues and Trump voters in context, 41% of his voters think Japanese internment was a good thing, to 37% who don't. And 41% of his supporters would favor bombing Agrabah to only 9% who are opposed to doing that.

                    Agrabah is the country from Aladdin.

                        The thing with the "trick" poll questions: they never say how many people A) successfully called BS or B) decided to be cheeky and go along with the joke.

                        I personally think Agrabah needs to be bombed immediately. Talking parrots with Gilbert Gottfried's voice are an abomination against humanity and a threat to the world. And who knows how many more they have?
