13. No coverage is better than bad coverage

Sep 2015

Also, your assertion that the media doesn't cover Sanders is pretty much incorrect.

A google news search reveals over 6 million media references to Bernie Sanders.

Next time you make an assertion, you should probably provide evidence to back up your claim.

Thanks for playing.

New Iowa poll unlikely to be covered by the MSM [View all] Doingto Sep 2015 OP

That's encouraging DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2015 #1

Wow. With a much higher sample rate than most polls as well. KNR! SonderWoman Sep 2015 #2

And don't forget the poll 3 days before the DM one Godhumor Sep 2015 #3

The Selzer poll is usually pretty good . DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2015 #8

Selzer is very well respected, but outliers happen regardless Godhumor Sep 2015 #12

The one out of twenty chance that your poll is FUBAR DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2015 #17

Your population parameter is a hypothetical Godhumor Sep 2015 #22

Thank you for the elaborate explanation. DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2015 #31

Good explanation, thanks. George II Sep 2015 #42

By randomness dsc Sep 2015 #33

Thank you...I knew that... DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2015 #34

mainly it happens because the sample ends up with too many dsc Sep 2015 #35

Fearful of actually reading your own linked article? Android3.14 Sep 2015 #4

No oopsies. Its the truth. SonderWoman Sep 2015 #7

Did her level of support decrease to a 7% lead? Doingto Sep 2015 #9

Was the previous poll conducted before or after Sanders announced he was running? Doingto Sep 2015 #10

Sanders hadn't announced prior to the April poll..."Oopsies" indeed! George II Sep 2015 #43

At this point, it's pretty much impossible to deny that the media is anti-Hillary. nt Cali_Democrat Sep 2015 #5

The media pretends Sanders doesn't exist AgingAmerican Sep 2015 #11

No coverage is better than bad coverage Cali_Democrat Sep 2015 #13

If Sanders was covered to the extend Hillary is AgingAmerican Sep 2015 #14

If Hillary was covered as little as Sanders, her lead would grow Doingto Sep 2015 #16

lol AgingAmerican Sep 2015 #24

Oh yeah? Doingto Sep 2015 #15

Yeah, it's absurd. Everyday they post 50 Bernie articles, but... SonderWoman Sep 2015 #19

Ever heard of the TV box? AgingAmerican Sep 2015 #26

Interesting. Iliyah Sep 2015 #6

Not worried. Fawke Em Sep 2015 #18

How about this one?: SonderWoman Sep 2015 #23

Loras College --from OP is likely causas goers riversedge Sep 2015 #27

Oh, well. We get to be non pulsed and Fawke Em Sep 2015 #60

actually Loras had them neck to neck a week out. riversedge Sep 2015 #30

That makes your point? Fawke Em Sep 2015 #62

Outlier? AtomicKitten Sep 2015 #20

Possibly. No polling organization is 100% accurate. SonderWoman Sep 2015 #21

Of the last 15 polls released, only one had Clinton under 45%, the Des Moines Register poll..... George II Sep 2015 #44

I consider the Des Moines Register the expert on Iowa - AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN. AtomicKitten Sep 2015 #48

Possible, of course..... Adrahil Sep 2015 #64

Clinton is viewed favorably by 77.5 percent of respondents, and Sanders by 60.8 percent. riversedge Sep 2015 #25

i see iowa going along about this then a week of .... sanders STRIKING distance, 7% difference. seabeyond Sep 2015 #28

Since their last poll in April, Clinton is down 9% and Sanders is up 21%. mhatrw Sep 2015 #29

Sanders wasn't a candidate when the April poll was taken. George II Sep 2015 #45

Des Moines Register/Bloomberg has been the standard-bearer for Iowa polling. AtomicKitten Sep 2015 #32

that is total hogwash dsc Sep 2015 #36

Do you dispute the Des Moines Register/Bloomberg poll is the standard bearer? AtomicKitten Sep 2015 #37

either put up or shut up dsc Sep 2015 #38

Those Bernie supporters are such meanies! Believing polling not favorable to Hillary. AtomicKitten Sep 2015 #39

I can't read your link dsc Sep 2015 #40

There isn't a link in the post you responded to. George II Sep 2015 #47

it showed as a link in my post dsc Sep 2015 #57

It's a snarky picture. You're not missing any proof for the outrageous accusations Godhumor Sep 2015 #49

No link. Surprise, surprise lunamagica Sep 2015 #52

Look at this list - which poll is the "outlier"? George II Sep 2015 #46

The Des Moines Register is THE polling for Iowa and it has always been that way. AtomicKitten Sep 2015 #50

And where can we find anything about them being THE polling for Iowa? I've never heard that before. George II Sep 2015 #51

The fact that you do not know this does not make it untrue. AtomicKitten Sep 2015 #53

You venture wrong. I'm 67 years old and have been DIRECTLY involved in politics.... George II Sep 2015 #54

She's right, Selzar is very well respected. They have earned respect for their work Godhumor Sep 2015 #55

Oh... maybe you need to step back. Fawke Em Sep 2015 #61

Maybe you and your clique should STOP telling others what to say or believe!!!! George II Sep 2015 #63

By the way, I just looked up the DMR poll and final caucus results from 2008 George II Sep 2015 #56

Has seltzer ever been this far from the rest? Nt Doingto Sep 2015 #59

That one doesn't get much attention in the media. George II Sep 2015 #41
