Re: Reuters/Ipsos poll regarding Bernie Sanders "role"

[BobbyDrake]

I have seen multiple threads about this article, and multiple links to the news piece. What I cannot seem to locate is a link to the actual data that could prove what the news piece wrote.

Has anyone actually been able to find the poll results as they would normally be published? If yes, please share, because the numbers quoted by the article are such that I need to see to believe.

ETA: I can only find a mobile link, sorry.

1. Some of the interpretations of that poll have been hilarious.

It doesn't say "Hillary should make Sanders Chief of Staff and do everything he says!!!"

2. Here are the 5-day rolling numbers, but I don't see any link to the actual data.

3. Here is what I found

"The poll, conducted June 7-10 - right after Clinton sewed up the delegate majority to become the presumptive Democratic nominee - showed that while most Democrats want Sanders to line up behind Clinton, about 44 percent would like him to make an independent run for the White House. Some 47 percent said he should not."

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-poll-sanders-idUSKCN0YY0F9The poll included 455 respondents and has a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of 5.3 percentage points.


Such a small sample...and it looks like bullshit.

Went to the website...poll was either removed or was never there. I think it is total crap.

5. It's still there, but you have to dig for it.

If you click your bottom link, then Reuters Polling Explorer on the right side, then search for Sanders, you can find it. It's not on their main page.

Here's a direct link, though it's been updated since the story: http://polling.reuters.com/#!poll/TM934Y16_1

13. Thanks for that! nt

7. Exactly. There's nothing to prove anything claimed, that I can find.

It's amazingly suspicious, IMO.

4. From the same poll: 44 percent would like him to make an independent run for the White House

It would seem a little heavily weighted towards Sanders supporters. This is the only poll I can recall seeing with numbers anywhere near that high.

8. In other words...

44% would like him to throw the election to Trump. Brilliant strategy there.

9. Well, they're positive that independents are most of the electorate and just like them, so they

probably think he'd win as an I. They tend to forget he couldn't even win as a D.

6. Sanders

Sanders is a Senator.
With a Dem controlled Senate and a Dem controlled WH, Sanders could be an important person in the Senate. He could help write and pass legislation. He can do that, if he wants.

10. Why would he start now?

[creon]

12. If he

If he wants to be in any way an influence he will need to start.

But, Sanders has never been logical.

11. Is it a poll of Sanders supporters?

I can't see 44% of all Dems thinking a indy run is a good idea
