Question I would like to see in a poll

[catnhatnh]

I would like to see both republicans and independents asked whether they had a favorable or unfavorable view of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. I would bet that Sanders has the higher approval rating and that if you took those figures and weighted them as 70% of the electorate (30% D, 30% R, and 40% Independent) and added this to current polls....My guess is Hillary would have cause to worry.

1. You want the approval of Republicans and Independents?

[catnhatnh]

2. Of course-why would anyone not?

Independents are 40% of the electorate and the election will be decided by how they break. I expect that Clinton will have near zero republican support but could easily see Sanders picking off 5%...

PG 12

There isn't as much data on Sanders.

I expect that Clinton will have near zero republican support but could easily see Sanders picking off 5%...

BTW, we don't have to guess how much support HRC has among Republicants .We can look at the data and it's between six and ten percent depending on which Republicant she is running against. It's in the linked quinnipiac poll.

4. Thanks

That gives me some Clinton data, but I'd really like to see both asked about in the same poll and then broken down by Dem/Rep/Ind breakdown and a percentage breakdown of party affiliation for the respondent group.

5. It's in the quinnipiac poll. You have to dig for it.

6. Not really....

A poll that with 24 pages that asks about Clinton on every page and one question total about Sanders is not comprehensive enough. But again thanks.

7. it's question 39

i'd cut and paste, but the formatting gets wonky.

8. I thought you wanted confirmation

You made an assertion:

I expect that Clinton will have near zero republican support but could easily see Sanders picking off 5%...

I thought you wanted confirmation or denial of your assertion and the denial is in the poll I cited and linked.

Contrary to your assertion Secretary Of State Clinton is receiving between six and ten percentof the vote among Republicans in her trial heats against her presumptive Republican general election rivals.

There is also the question regarding favorability you asked.

Here are more favorability polls for Sec. Of State Clinton:

Some of the fresher polls contained in the average have questions about Senator Sanders as as well:
