These numbers stunned me.

Bernie Sanders (44.8%)

Hillary Clinton (36.6%)

Martin O'Malley (1%)

I think what offsets ideology here is that these are, like all "opinion leaders", very politically active and well read and they talk to other people about politics a lot. That makes them less likely to default to the establishment candidate. Still, for voters who aren't that far to the left, that is a very impressive number.

2. I'm no swarmer, but I already know what they'll say about this..

"This is an online poll! No actual methodology was used to make this poll - completely unscientific"

It may be online poll, but it certainly tells the story on the social media/online pulse.

5. What the TPM (and DU) polls show, is that among the politically informed, Sanders is the choice.
