PPP poll Nov 14 Who Won DEM Debate? Clinton 67%, Sanders 20%, O'M 7%
WONDERFUL WONDERFUL
![]() PPP poll Nov 14 Who Won DEM Debate? Clinton 67%, Sanders 20%, O'M 7% Nov 14, 2015 A Public Policy Polling survey of Democratic primary voters nationally who watched tonight’s debate finds that it reinforced Hillary Clinton’s front runner status. Viewers overwhelmingly think she won the debate, and particularly trust her over the rest of the Democratic field when it comes to issues of national security. Key findings from the survey include: -67% of voters think Clinton won the debate, to 20% for Bernie Sanders and 7% for Martin O’Malley. On a related note 63% of viewers said the debate gave them a more positive opinion of Clinton, compared to 41% who said it gave them a more positive opinion of Sanders, and 37% who said it gave them a more positive opinion of O’Malley. -Clinton is by a wide margin the candidate debate watchers trust the most on national security issues. 75% say they have the most faith in Clinton on that front, compared to only 17% for Sanders, and 5% for O’Malley. National security issues were a primary focus tonight in the aftermath of yesterday’s tragedy in France, and Democratic voters by far and away trust Clinton the most on that issue. -What’s particularly striking is how universal the sentiment that Clinton won the debate tonight is among all the different groups within the Democratic Party. 86% of African Americans, 73% of women, 70% of moderates, 69% of seniors, 67% of Hispanics, 65% of liberals, 61% of white voters, 58% of men, and 50% of younger voters all think that Clinton was the winner of tonight’s debate. -Overall among those who watched the debate tonight, 67% say they plan to vote for Clinton in the primary to 25% for Sanders, and 4% for O’Malley. Clinton came into tonight’s debate as the clear front runner for the Democrats and these numbers make it clear that the debate and particularly Clinton’s strength on national security issues just reinforced her front runner status.... http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2015/11/democratic-voters-overwhelmingly-think-clinton-won-debate-particularly-strong-on-national-security-i.html via Public Policy Polling ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Clinton looked alert and engaged, and her responses were substantive.
Her opponents were edgy and irritated, combative and annoyed, prickly and acerbic. In style and substance, she creamed 'em. |

moving forward. It looked a little bit like a failed attempt at ganging up.
It was their undoing. If they'd taken a shot at one another, even slightly, it wouldn't have been quite so obvious. |

It's typical for pollsters to rotate the order in which they name the candidates, because the first candidate mentioned typically gets a better result.
All the questions had Clinton first. Not to mention landlines. |

Except that was not in their methodology. So either you're right and they're lying in their methodology, or I'm right and their sample is not at all random. Why would they poll people who didn't watch, when they want to gauge how well the candidates did?
You handle that by saying in your methodology that you stopped asking questions after Q1 for people who didn't watch. And list two sample sizes, the overall sample and the debate-watching sample. Btw, "randomly selected" doesn't appear in their methodology either. |

84. Are you actually inferring a Democratic candidate committed a felony?????????
You might want to delete that post before MIRT sees it.

88. The only reason this is not illegal
is because of the 'internet loophole'. They coordinate with her campaign but do it only online. If they did this shit elsewhere, yes, they would be busted for FEC violations.
To try and defend this shit speaks volumes to your character and that of your candidate. Fuck it...as long as it is not 'illegal' then go for it. |

46. When every website has a poll showing that Bernie won by a 70 point margin, it's absurd to ignore it

64. Conducted by PPP who are the most accurate.
You can try and throw mud at the poll but it's likely accurate

66. Read the report.
1) Their methodology does not say how they got a random sample....heavily implying they did not get one.
2) They did not publish their screening questions. 3) They did not rotate the candidate's names. That's standard practice since the first name always does better. 4) The answer for Q1 is really weird. 100% of their sample watched the debate. No one had something else come up? |

70. In other words, you don't have any evidence there is something wrong with the poll
As I've always said, although it's usually to Republicans like the Unskewed polls folks, if your candidate Is in such bad shape that you resort to attacking scientific polls you are in trouble.
The easy way to resolve this is to call and email the number PPP provides at the bottom of the poll. They probably won't respond until Monday. it makes no sense at all that the most accurate polling agency out there would risk their reputation over a post debate poll. But those kind of accusations are to what Bernistas are reduced. |

72. Uh, those are problems with the poll.
Even Nate Silver is calling them out on it.
The easy way to resolve this is to call and email the number PPP provides at the bottom of the poll. They probably won't respond until Monday.
So...they lied in their own report linked from the press release? And we're supposed to believe them after they admit to lying? it makes no sense at all that the most accurate polling agency out there would risk their reputation over a post debate poll. But those kind of accusations are to what Bernistas are reduced.
Psst...Here's a Clinton supporter who started a thread saying the same thing: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251810541 |

76. Those are not problems with the poll, they are lack of documentation so far
That may have well resulted from getting it out so quickly.
Again, you have no evidence there is something wrong with the poll. |

74. That's about what I would have guessed after watching the debate.
This performance is about as bad as I have seen Sanders in terms of looking non-Presidential. He didn't look contained, he didn't look poised, and Hillary looked both of those things. And O'Malley has this odd affect to him that seems non-genuine.

90. The one inevitable post on DGP is that polls that folks don't agree with are bad polls....
PPP used as valid a method as possible - calling people who watched the debate and asking relevant questions. Those participants are most likely going to vote!! No one knew the results until they were published. Professional pollsters often report who paid for the poll for transparency, which is a sign of their neutrality and professionalism. It increases confidence, because the pollster is being upfront.
College students, for example, love to be active on line and will attend a rally because there's free pizza and a social opportunity. They also don't register and don't vote; at least that's the case in recent elections. Adults watching a debate at home instead of a ballgame or Downton Abbey are going to vote. So far, the polls have been pretty good - they reflect regional and demographic expectations, have some variability due to sampling, and show changes over time as candidates campaign. As the email story was put to rest, Hillary looked better. When Biden dropped out, Hillary gained. In fact, when O'Malley quits Hilary will gain again. Bernie has tried and failed, so far, to get any traction with minority and immigrant populations. Last night's debate and poll didn't change the picture. Hillary has more international experience and it showed. With "likely voter" Democrats who watched the debate; most thought Hillary provided the best answers. That makes sense because of the situation in France and emphasis on international affairs. Hillary did a good job last night. "It's a poor workman who blames their tools." |

92. I gave Sanders the win for $15 Federal minimum wage hike, Mrs. Clintons $12 is NOT enough.
Should have been $12 in 2008, that was the last time Mrs. Clinton had some influence and we only got $7.25 back then.
Minimum was only about $5.00 when 9-11 happened, another time when both Mrs. Clinton and Sanders had some influence on the process. |

95. Part of the problem with this poll's accuracy I might suggest is the age demographics:
Age 2012 2016 Debate
18-45 51% 19% 45-64 35% 47% 65+ 14% 34% under 45, where Sanders does better is very under represented. Doesn't explain all of the discrepancy with the online polls but I would say on that basis alone, the poll significantly overstates Clinton's debate performance. |
