Why, because there is another Motownman78 Oct 2017 #80

that doesn't make any sense. They feel free to attack it because they are afraid of what it might JCanete Oct 2017 #131

If we support single payer in 18, we run the risk of having the GOP using it against us as Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #134

That is not accurate at all. First, Trump has proven just how powerful the President actually is, JCanete Oct 2017 #74

It is the same Motownman78 Oct 2017 #79

Ohh okay, gotcha. Independents clearly have a range of views, on varying issues, InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2017 #33

Not in this poll they don't. There were considerably more Democrats than Independents. pnwmom Oct 2017 #27

Hillary had higher favorability in 2013, 3 years before the next Presidential election stevenleser Oct 2017 #15

Not THIS again! Read the Harvard poll. They only compared 4 Democrats along with Bernie pnwmom Oct 2017 #25

Considering his name recognition its a very low score. Hillary was generally 10 points higher stevenleser Oct 2017 #30

Agreed. And I wonder why they don't include Joe Biden in this poll? pnwmom Oct 2017 #32

Regarding Bernie... bagelsforbreakfast Oct 2017 #38
