Iowa State Fair 2015 : Presidential Poll [View all]

https://sos.iowa.gov/statefair.html

Bernie Sanders 53.43%

Donald Trump 27.13%

Bernie takes the largest percentage of all the votes for D and R ....but of course he has no chance of winning in Iowa and even then just like with NH it doesn't really mean anything.

Really? You can vote as many times as you want? SonderWoman Aug 2015 #10

Yes. There's nothing stopping anyone from voting, sufrommich Aug 2015 #13

No wonder why Trump is leading, Dems are trolling his votes? SonderWoman Aug 2015 #16

I've been working the irony angle here...this is priceless. Well put. libdem4life Aug 2015 #25

I Don't Think Republipukes Want Bernie Yallow Aug 2015 #38

Read some rightwing sites, they are foaming at the mouth SonderWoman Aug 2015 #42

Right wingers are supposed to be the smart guys in the room? Forget that noise. Ed Suspicious Aug 2015 #54

Maybe it's a case of running against the one you know rather than the one you libdem4life Aug 2015 #65

It was an unscientific "poll" taken at a State Fair booth run by Republican SoS Paul Pate.....folks used their IPads... Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #39

No. That's the WHOtv corn poll. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #52

The Iowa State Fair Corn Poll *snicker* is for bragging rights, everyone knows it should only be used to Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #64

That’s a nice gain for Sanders, who was tied with Clinton at 46 percent after Friday, the totodeinhere Aug 2015 #4

Like I have said before. WHEN CRABS ROAR Aug 2015 #61

But guess who has the title pic on HuffPo? Hint..It's not a male. libdem4life Aug 2015 #5

Start your very own op. This one is about Bernie in IOWA. L0oniX Aug 2015 #7

And just exactly How? did I crash your thread? Thanks in advance. libdem4life Aug 2015 #9

What is more newsworthy, a picture of Hillary on a website that has been shilling for her since totodeinhere Aug 2015 #12

What is this? Maybe I should have put in the word...Yet...It was a comparison libdem4life Aug 2015 #15

I wasn't offended. I was reacting to HuffPost's putting Hillary's picture on, not to you totodeinhere Aug 2015 #18

We're good. Thanks. libdem4life Aug 2015 #24

It is not a poll...your whole argument is underpined by a "polling booth" at a State fair run by one Republican. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #50

The OP calls it a poll and the Iowa Secretary of State website calls it a poll. totodeinhere Aug 2015 #68

The level of clinging to magical thinking for some folks at DU is deeper than I suspected. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #69

Nobody including me called it a scientific poll. totodeinhere Aug 2015 #70

I have a red pill that cures cancer. It is not scientific, but everyone knows science sucks! Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #75

let me guess. PowerToThePeople Aug 2015 #19

Close...if you take out the writing. But it's a good one and I like it. libdem4life Aug 2015 #23

Trump outside the donor class? tazkcmo Aug 2015 #27

Let me rephrase...Trump is not receiving from the Donor Class libdem4life Aug 2015 #28

PTB include Trump. tazkcmo Aug 2015 #30

I dislike being repetitive, but my point is that Trump is not "Beholden"... libdem4life Aug 2015 #33

"he is beholden to his own interests...surely not The People" Your right. Not The (rich) People. L0oniX Aug 2015 #35

Well no wonder... L0oniX Aug 2015 #34

Bit of a misinterpretation HerbChestnut Aug 2015 #6

The important thing to take out of this is Bernie has substantial lead over Clinton. totodeinhere Aug 2015 #14

Exactly HerbChestnut Aug 2015 #22

Among Iowa St Fair attendees who participated... HereSince1628 Aug 2015 #29

I'm sure that mostly people who are fans or undecided or those already libdem4life Aug 2015 #40

Thank goodness the Iowa state fair doesnt decide who the nominees are. DCBob Aug 2015 #11

Nobody said it did. But Bernie is beating Hillary in this poll. And the people totodeinhere Aug 2015 #17

It's not a great predictor of who will win unfortunately. One of the 99 Aug 2015 #20

No, that's a different poll. You are referring to the Iowa straw poll held by the Republicans totodeinhere Aug 2015 #21

Oh so you're refering to the poll that also measures people's favorite way to eat bacon. One of the 99 Aug 2015 #26

No, this poll. totodeinhere Aug 2015 #63

And the poll that Sanders won One of the 99 Aug 2015 #66

But that's not the point. You tried to make it seem that yesterday's poll was the totodeinhere Aug 2015 #67

No the point is One of the 99 Aug 2015 #71

If you had originally said that, fine. But that's not what you said. totodeinhere Aug 2015 #86

Same difference. One of the 99 Aug 2015 #87

This is from people that showed up to see Trump. moobu2 Aug 2015 #31

Thanks for straightening us out on that. Now where's those links? L0oniX Aug 2015 #32

It appears that any poll Bernie wins is suspect. Live and Learn Aug 2015 #36

it's all done with mirrors, you know restorefreedom Aug 2015 #37

Also smoke. It is done with smoke and mirrors, and it obviously works..... Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #44

paging penn and teller. nt restorefreedom Aug 2015 #47

You understand this wasn't an actual poll, right? Godhumor Aug 2015 #41

The Corn Poll is another separate poll from the Pate IPad Booth Poll and the defunct GOP Iowa Straw Poll. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #45

I also understand that if Hillary would have won it Live and Learn Aug 2015 #48

A scientific poll is a scientific poll and anything not scientific is unscientific and worthless.... Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #51

Did anybody say it was a "scientific" poll? Live and Learn Aug 2015 #53

Then you don't know anything about me. Regardless of who won, the poll is silly Godhumor Aug 2015 #55

It's "fun" and worthy of bragging rights, but that's about it. It is a meaningless unscientific poll Metric System Aug 2015 #56

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. Live and Learn Aug 2015 #57

Magical thinking does make folks feel better......take that thinking away and there goes the feeling. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #76

Not very scientific. To demostrate the significance of the poll.... George II Aug 2015 #43

You let us all know when there's a poll at a science fair. L0oniX Aug 2015 #46

I already pointed that out....and other true things some folks vehemently refuse to believe exist. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #49

Yes, thank you for correcting our ignorant belief that this meant Bernie had won the election. Live and Learn Aug 2015 #58

No problem - bragging rights have been Fairly won. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #59

Okay, you win a +1 for the pun. nt Live and Learn Aug 2015 #60

Are you trying to say Trump voters getting back in line to vote for Sanders... NCTraveler Aug 2015 #74

Scientific poll versus corn kernels in a jar poll...same thing, aren't they? They are both called polls! Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #77

Of course it doesn't mean anything JackInGreen Aug 2015 #73

The corn kernels in a jar pole also had Sanders ahead...so I agree...corn kernels rule, scientists suck! Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #78

Oh fredrick X3 JackInGreen Aug 2015 #79

Scientific poll and the corn kernels in a jar pole, let us do a scientific compaison of the results?! Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #80

A palpable hit, certainly JackInGreen Aug 2015 #81

I am a douche! Yes, I am, no doubt. The biggest around! A douch bag fighting the silly is what I do. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #83

*lifts rapier in salute* JackInGreen Aug 2015 #84

That's not a realistic presentation of the votes - there are separate votes... George II Aug 2015 #82

There is the Repub ticket!! oldandhappy Aug 2015 #85
