Both Sanders and O'Malley were trying to land punches--they didn't do the job, though. MADem Nov 2015 #22
K & R DURHAM D Nov 2015 #14
They devoted their energies toward tag teaming Hillary and were not focused on the riversedge Nov 2015 #20
That's it, exactly. It was almost like they were more interested in chipping off a bit than MADem Nov 2015 #30
Gee...you forgot to quote this part from their report jeff47 Nov 2015 #10
Hahaha yesss jkbRN Nov 2015 #18
last line of the article, too restorefreedom Nov 2015 #19
Didja also notice they did not mention rotating the candidates in the questions? jeff47 Nov 2015 #26
but its scientific! restorefreedom Nov 2015 #34
They also forgot to publish the screening questions (nt) jeff47 Nov 2015 #38
! nt restorefreedom Nov 2015 #40
Yep. Was surprised to see that. Kind of undermines the PPP brand realizing who bought think Nov 2015 #21
LMAO! beam me up scottie Nov 2015 #25
Wow, somebody's going to be the laughingstock of the twitterverse. n/t winter is coming Nov 2015 #47
Finger on the scale ... Jarqui Nov 2015 #67
It was sponsored by Correct the Record.... jkbRN Nov 2015 #17
So? riversedge Nov 2015 #23
Well, it would explain why they didn't run the poll properly jeff47 Nov 2015 #27
David Brock's SUPERPAC paid for this poll? OMG! LOL! reformist2 Nov 2015 #28
You know, one of the SuperPACs working for Hillary HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #31
For crying out loud...this is the kind of manipulative stuff that gives politics a bad name...lol... EndElectoral Nov 2015 #42
That's even more hilarious... MrMickeysMom Nov 2015 #55
Should be Corrupt the Record. n/t winter is coming Nov 2015 #89
"This research was conducted on behalf of Correct The Record." jfern Nov 2015 #29
You're saying PPP is unreliable, then? OK, we'll disregard anything positive they have to say MADem Nov 2015 #33
Well, PPP didn't bother to publish the screening questions jeff47 Nov 2015 #35
How do you know they won't/didn't do that? MADem Nov 2015 #50
I read their report. Link's at the bottom of the press release quoted in the OP. jeff47 Nov 2015 #53
That question tells me this--they didn't include MADem Nov 2015 #56
Except that wasn't in their methodology. jeff47 Nov 2015 #60
I think you're trying too hard to get down in the weeds on MADem Nov 2015 #68
No, this isn't a "snapshot" poll. That would include a random sample. jeff47 Nov 2015 #69
Well, is there a link from Nate with his objections? nt MADem Nov 2015 #81
It's in this thread, with a lot of the other problems with the poll jeff47 Nov 2015 #83
i generally disregard all polls restorefreedom Nov 2015 #36
I'm saying that polls conducted for a candidates SuperPAC tend to be rather biased jfern Nov 2015 #39
And you know this, how? You're saying, then, that PPP is worthless MADem Nov 2015 #49
Polling paid for by a candidate is never taken very seriously jfern Nov 2015 #52
Where's Bernie's glowing internal poll, then? MADem Nov 2015 #57
Bernie doesn't have a SuperPAC paying for biased polls jfern Nov 2015 #59
He didn't have "campaign advisers" either...until he did. nt MADem Nov 2015 #61
That's a non sequitor jfern Nov 2015 #63
His internal polls is for Bernie's eyes only. Weidman Nov 2015 #65
Nyuck, nyuck!!! nt MADem Nov 2015 #82
WHOO HOO!!! lunamagica Nov 2015 #32
Why wasn't there an immediate poll after the first debate Cheese Sandwich Nov 2015 #41

OMG Cheese Sandwich Nov 2015 #48

Hey pal, if you really believe that.. Weidman Nov 2015 #73

Some would say at least one. Not me though... Elmer S. E. Dump Nov 2015 #87
The only reason this is not illegal TM99 Nov 2015 #88
How could that poll say she won it handily and all these polls say the opposite? Jarqui Nov 2015 #43
When every website has a poll showing that Bernie won by a 70 point margin, it's absurd to ignore it reformist2 Nov 2015 #46
oh yeah--those internet polls!! riversedge Nov 2015 #51
Apparently sponsored by Correct the Record. Weidman Nov 2015 #58
Conducted by PPP who are the most accurate. stevenleser Nov 2015 #64
Read the report. jeff47 Nov 2015 #66
In other words, you don't have any evidence there is something wrong with the poll stevenleser Nov 2015 #70
Uh, those are problems with the poll. jeff47 Nov 2015 #72
Those are not problems with the poll, they are lack of documentation so far stevenleser Nov 2015 #76
Because PPP doesn't know how to describe polling methodology in their reports? jeff47 Nov 2015 #77
No the bullshit is desperately attacking the most reliable agency because you stevenleser Nov 2015 #78
No, that's not all this is. Read the damn report yourself. jeff47 Nov 2015 #80
So if a Republican pays for a poll, you'd trust it? jfern Nov 2015 #75
That is not reality. No fucking way. If anything it was O'Malley Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #62
That's about what I would have guessed after watching the debate. stevenleser Nov 2015 #74
Post removed Post removed Nov 2015 #85
b.s. 99% of those polled love 199% of what Clinton had to say and love supreme leader Kim Il Jong Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #86

I gave Sanders the win for $15 Federal minimum wage hike, Mrs. Clintons $12 is NOT enough. Sunlei Nov 2015 #92
Supported by CBS poll. DCBob Nov 2015 #94
Part of the problem with this poll's accuracy I might suggest is the age demographics: Jarqui Nov 2015 #95
