repost from closed thread:

Have there been any numbers/polls in any of the primaries so far about religious voters in the Democratic primaries/caucuses? I'm curious to see how this breaks down with Bernie and Hillary.

Every link I search for seems to break down religious and/or evangelical voters in the Republican primary, but nothing in the Democratic one.

 

[pigeon]

Again, this has been proven to be factually untrue by explanatory polling:

So basically Trump's asshole character wins because secretly voters want to have sex with him.

Basically, GOP will run Trump/Palin and take the boner vote all the way to the White House.

The more Trump looks to be the nominee, the closer Obama gets to nominate a SC justice IMO

If they have any brains at all, their tune changes the moment they see that Trump is the nominee.

On the other hand, if I were Obama, I'd know I had them over the barrel. There's no way I'd be sending them softball nominations. Just pick people that I think are the absolute best for the job, just like he's been saying he'd do all along.

"They're all godless heathens, so why pay for a poll to prove it?"

Bernie didn't even win Lafayette (pronounced La-FAY-ette) county here. I thought that was his for sure.

 

[RustyNails]

I wonder how Trump will play off the GE matchup with Clinton in the next debate. He cant keep saying "I'm winning every poll against Hillary". The moderators just might put up a graphic of 10 polls he's losing. He needs to say GE polling is not good at this point in time etc etc. But he has a big ego, tiny hands and small penis so of course he wont admit defeat.

he won it here in LA. We don't pronounce it like that. La-FEE-yette

When I arrived in Oxford for college, I remember the locals being quite perturbed at my Louisiana pronunciation of Lafayette (La-FEE-ette). (Your post just made me laugh. Something I hadn't remembered in years)

 

[B-Dubs]

Lol, as a Bernie supporter that part is so true. I've wanted deblasio to eventually run for president since he first started gaining power in New York. Bernie has been one of my favorite senators since I discovered him in 2008, but he never struck me as a great presidential nominee (although contrary to popular opinion here, I don't think Hillary is either. Democrats really let their bench go to shit by ignoring state elections).

I never really expected him to win, let alone get this far, but my hope has always been that his campaign would pave the way for someone like DeBlasio to actually get the nomination in 8 years. I think he's been a success in that regard, especially considering his numbers with voters under 45.

I genuinely like him, but he does need some polishing for sure. The man definitely gets how class and race intersect better than almost anyone in the party and he's not afraid to give that real talk on race. If he can get reelected he could go far. I like how his feud with Cuomo is essentially making both of them better, I just wish they'd both recognize it since they can both be so petty.

The Clinton camp just needs to chain him to his desk though. He's chomping at the bit to go out and campaign for her. I swear if we told him he could take a year off to go campaign for her he wouldn't even hesitate. I love how passionate he can get, but at the same time he needs to slow his roll a bit.

Ugh, so gross. WTF is wrong with all of us?

He wouldn't be wrong. I definitely would not believe those polls.

I really don't see Walker having any sort of future as a presidential candidate. He's feasted on incompetent Wisconsin Democrats but just isn't up to the rigors of a national campaign. He has no ability to think on his feet. All you have to do is knock him off his script and he sounds like a complete idiot, and I don't think he'll ever really be able to fix that. His act has also worn thin in Wisconsin, though what I've heard from people who are very plugged into Wisconsin politics is that he has no interest in a third term anyway.

MICH: Clinton won Genesee County by 51.7%-46.5%/~3,200 votes.

Clinton won Flint by 65-34%/~4,900 votes; Sanders won Genesee outside Flint

Clinton didn't lose Flint.

What exactly are you implying about Chirac there?

Women's suffrage just came too late for Ben.

Which, as I understand it, was not normally a problem for him.

Seriously though, he probably would've been an awesome president.

Man liked French hookers way too much to be president. He'd never cut himself off like that.

Did he replace Quincy Adams or are you being cute and talking about before the Constitution was ratified?

Haven't heard such a stream of disconnected ideas since I quit Psychiatry.

Lol Krauthammer was a psychiatrist?? Omg. Why hasnt this turned into a sitcom yet.

I mean he was on the 100 dollar bill so he had to important somehow right

Because it would be too funny.

 

[benjipwns]

That's the one advantage he's got, all his other potential rivals for 2020 have to face re-election before then. Rand and Thune having the leg up by going this year.

If he can get the money out again he might be able to ward off any serious challengers like Romney did in 2012 and then knock down the pretenders one by one.

lol, I feel like that's the case. I guess no one ever thinks that religion would have an influence on Democratic voters. I can see that intuitively, but it would be nice to see some actual numbers at least. Especially with all the recent discussion about voters in the South.

Not every religious person is an evangelical Republican, and not every Democrat is baby-eating atheist :/

I'm glad Trump will at least help Obama end up being a well-liked president, lol.

He has a MD from Harvard Medical School. That's where he got paralyzed.

Also was one of the team writing the DSM. I want to say IV or III. IV might be too recent, I don't remember how old he is.

Pollsters in general have been asking less questions of Democrats. I think because the race was so uncontested.

Where's the fun in finding all the Hillary voters agree. Whereas GOP you could get stuff like 43% of Bush supporters think Payton Manning is a racist vs. 2% for Trump supporters.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

He means 6th President of Pennsylvania.

I just looked it up and found it. Clever Cory.. Clever.

 

[Box of Kittens]

Here's CNN polls for the Dem side. Looks good for Clinton but after last night...

OH:
63% Clinton
33% Sanders

FL:
61% Clinton
34% Sanders

I'm skeptical of that Ohio number for sure. PPP is also showing a large Clinton lead, but not that large, and Quinnipiac has it within single digits (albeit barely).

I'd love to see regional breakdowns on some of these polls. Northern Ohio looks a lot like much of Michigan, but Southern Ohio is a completely different animal.

 

[RustyNails]

Alas, less funnier than my fantasy sitcom starring John McLaughlin as a psychiatrist and Pat Buchannan as his assistant.

 

[Ophelion]

Of Pennsylvania, dude. Of Pennsylvania. He was a governor, essentially.

Ben Franklin is my boy. I think I'd know if he'd been POTUS.

Man liked French hookers way too much to be president. He'd never cut himself off like that.

Ha. Truth. France loved the shit out of that guy and the feeling was certainly mutual.

 

[Coriolanus]

I just looked it up and found it. Clever Cory.. Clever.

nah, the clever bit is when you realize that he was preceded by the great John Dickinson. Which was in turn preceded by Willie Moore.

Man, pennsylvania has some issues.

I really think there's a chance that Hillary will end-up benefitting from this contrast as well. She's painted quite harshly, but can reasonably sell herself as an unthreatening person; she's not going to live up to the myth of Hillary the Monster. We saw some of this when folks liked what they saw of her during the Benghazi hearings, so I tend to wonder if something like that ABC polling gap could really hold for the general, especially with so much of the public really really disliking Trump.

Population map, if anyone wants to study it.

Anyway, many of the polls show sanders with like 33 - 38%, but at the same time only have Clinton at 57-60. That means there are 10% that are undecided, and maybe 10% of independence that come in and vote, which might be what made up the difference yesterday.

best part is McLaughlin actually sometimes uses the "on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being lowest degree of unlikelihood, 10 being absolute metaphysical certitude" line from that sketch
