DU Poll: Bloomberg vs. Sanders... the sequel! [View all]

Yes, this has been polled before, by me and by others. But it has not been polled since people had an opportunity to see Bloomberg at a debate. And it has not been polled since Sanders has demonstrated strength with PoC. So if Bloomberg may look a bit weaker than he did some weeks ago, and Sanders may be looking stronger, might that change people's preferences? So...

If your primary were to come down to Bloomberg or Sanders, who would you vote for?

108 votes, 1 pass \| Time left: Unlimited
	Bloomberg
	47 (44%)
	Sanders
	61 (56%)
	1 DU member did not wish to select any of the options provided.

Evidently so. Laelth Feb 2020 #82

Which one can win Florida? Renew Deal Feb 2020 #3

Bloomberg can. Bernie, no way. rzemanfl Feb 2020 #5

Interesting. So even here on DU, indeed, people do not always stick to lanes when switching. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #97

It does appear to me that people stick to their own lane Kaleva Feb 2020 #101
