"The poll was conducted from June 7-10 and included 455 respondents. It has a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of 5.3 percentage points."

But, there's no link to the actual data or questions. I'm curious how the questions were worded, because they're often more complex than the summary indicates.

Wow, that's surprising democrattotheend Jun 2016 #1

Bernie has NO PLANS on doing a third party run for November 2banon Jun 2016 #29

The OP is bullshit. There is no poll that says this. It isn't linked in the article, and when you Squinch Jun 2016 #57

That hidden identity on Nobby Beach, Australia, yeah, that's "the Dems" alright. L. Coyote Jun 2016 #70

Don't know if that's a good idea, but wow. Ash_F Jun 2016 #3

But what about unifying the party. coyote Jun 2016 #4

... NurseJackie Jun 2016 #5

A poll such as this one is worthless at this time. A poll is directly influenced by the question tonyt53 Jun 2016 #6

And this particular poll doesn't seem to exist anywhere. No link, nothing in Google. Squinch Jun 2016 #59

I'd support that just to see him lose badly KingFlorez Jun 2016 #7

yes, two time loser bernie Florencenj2point0 Jun 2016 #10

Oh my. Whatever happened to stopping Trump at all costs? Jester Messiah Jun 2016 #84

Clinton would beat Trump easily even if Sanders did run third party KingFlorez Jun 2016 #85

That's quite some enthusiasm you have there. Jester Messiah Jun 2016 #87

Hmmm... 44% of Dems plus 70% of Indies = WIN yourpaljoey Jun 2016 #13

He wouldn't get 70% of indies. Zynx Jun 2016 #14

In fact, he will. He will get more than 50% of the Dems and at least 10% of the Republicans, as well yourpaljoey Jun 2016 #20

Sanders would lose in embarrassing fashion if he ran as independent. Ace Rothstein Jun 2016 #25

We will stop the CHEATING for one thing :) yourpaljoey Jun 2016 #27

How many dems vote in primaries? pinebox Jun 2016 #38

About 30 million. Zynx Jun 2016 #46

Are you seriously trying to say all the Dems who didn't vote want Bernie? Lord Magus Jun 2016 #50

No. pinebox Jun 2016 #66

yea he would with trump/ hillary as their choices, they definately would, but Bern would not do it swhisper1 Jun 2016 #60

No one would win 70% of independents KingFlorez Jun 2016 #16

Independents are almost equally split 50/50 right/left. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #34

Except that this "poll" is a scam. It isn't linked in the article, and it doesn't seem to Squinch Jun 2016 #58

Sanders has said he will not do this. Duval Jun 2016 #15

That is sophist nonsense. yourpaljoey Jun 2016 #22

My thoughts exactly. djean111 Jun 2016 #26

wow uponit7771 Jun 2016 #49

Yup, the illusion is evidently working farleftlib Jun 2016 #75

Yup, and people believe this or not depending on who's camp they're in mindwalker_i Jun 2016 #78

Except that the actual poll found nothing of the sort. This is just a big lie. And Squinch Jun 2016 #28

This poll was taken before it became apparent MyNameGoesHere Jun 2016 #30

No. Fact is, this poll doesn't even exist. Try and find it. You won't and it's not linked. Squinch Jun 2016 #54

This is what happens when you hire dirt like David Brock to run your campaign tabasco Jun 2016 #31

"That number closely corresponds to the 43 percent of voters who have chosen Sanders" ucrdem Jun 2016 #32

There is no poll. This is an out and out lie. If you try and find the poll, it doesn't exist. Squinch Jun 2016 #55

Is it bernies fault Hillary can't beat a massive bigot and ignoramous like Trump? Tiggeroshii Jun 2016 #42

She's beating the shit out of Trump. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #51

You are buying into a fraud. There is no poll that says anything like what the OP says. Try and Squinch Jun 2016 #56

Add that to Independents and Greens felix_numinous Jun 2016 #43

Why isn't Reuters' poll posted on Reuters website? Glaringly absent, it is. BobbyDrake Jun 2016 #44

Especially in light of the Guccifer 2.0 doc leaks . MaeScott Jun 2016 #45

So about 13% of the electorate anigbrowl Jun 2016 #47

Some three way polling broken down by demographics would be very interesting aikoaiko Jun 2016 #48

We need a TRUE Progressive in the race! AzDar Jun 2016 #52

We still arguing about this? MFM008 Jun 2016 #61

Three more days. (I think.) NurseJackie Jun 2016 #81

I've said it before I'd vote for Sanders if he ran on a parking ticket. n/t leeroysphitz Jun 2016 #72
