2. Can't take the poll because there is no option in Q1 for how it has affected me.

He needs an 'other' option, because I was greatly affected by the loss in my home value; but not anything else.

I guess mounting debt, but that's not entirely accurate.

4. Poll not complete

I chose "Lost job", but "Mounting debt" and "Depleted savings/retirement account" are also true.

"Doubling up in housing (moved in with others; or others moved in with you)" is also coming my way.

5. I think the recession affected me positively personally.

There are positive externalities at times...

7. I'm surprised he doesn't ask what state you live in...

I guess he must be assuming only Vermont residents will take this? If so, it will likely bias towards the "lost job" question out of proportion to Vermont. Of course many would want to answer to multiple categories in question 1.

I really love Bernie. I so wish we had another 40 or 50 like him.
