(58,724 posts)Your response would be based on which of the two you thought would be easier for the Democrats to beat, wouldn't it?
So my argument is that the Obama vs. Sanders question would invoke similar types of responses from Republicans.
Republicans are generally not open to the idea of voting for Obama or Sanders, just like Democrats are generally not open to the idea of voting for Trump or Bush.
Independents, however, are people that could conceivably vote for candidates from any party.
I think this survey is pretty pointless, to be honest. Seems obvious that Democrats would prefer a candidate like Obama, since he won the presidency twice and is very popular.
If they did a survey based solely on policy positions, there might be different results.
