New Poll Shows Voters Not Thrilled With Democratic Candidates


                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.
