A Harvard-Harris
Poll of registered Democratic voters conducted back in November appeared to
illustrate just how unattractive the current field of Democratic candidates is,
even to Democrats. Former vice-president Joe “Hairy Legs” Biden topped the list
of five with 29% of those surveyed saying they would vote for him, as opposed
to 16% who favored the aged commie, Sen. Bernie Sanders. The unthinking man’s
woman, Sen. Elizabeth “I’m gonna get me a beer” Warren, was next with 13%,
while Michael Bloomberg and Pete Buttigieg brought up the rear…naturally
enough.
However,
when respondents were given the choice to vote for a non-entrant, they
did so in droves, suggesting that “none of the above” might have been the
favorite if included in the first poll. When those polled were given the option
of voting for Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, in addition to the Fab Five,
Clinton was the favorite candidate of 21% of those surveyed, Biden got 20% of
the nods, Sanders 12%, Warren 9%, and Buttigieg and Kerry were knotted at 5%
apiece.
When
even Hillary can beat out your current crop of crazies, you know you’ve
got a problem. What if other famous progressives were added to the mix? Who
would be respondents’ favorites in that case? I decided to find out by
conducting My Own Polls of “likely democratic voters.” My surveys were
conducted between January 7th and January 18th. The results
have a margin of error of +/- 50%.
Poll I:
Che Guevara won my first poll with 32% of respondents picking him as their
favorite candidate. Michelle Obama edged out Oprah, 21% to 20%, while Biden got
12%, Sanders 8%, Buttigieg 4% and Bloomberg 3%.
Poll
II: I placed only the two top current Democratic candidates in this poll, along
with five other non-candidates from diverse backgrounds. The results were
fascinating. I post them here, in list form:
RuPaul………...........................................27%
Joe
Biden………………………………………...20%
Taylor
Swift……………………………………..16%
Bernie
Sanders………………………………....12%
Michael
Avenatti ………………………………11%
Honeymaren
(from “Frozen 2”)………......8%
Kim
Jong Un……………………………………...6%
It
appears that Kim Jong Un took significant support away from Bernie and
Honeymaren may have taken many prospective voters away from Ms. Swift.
