(14,524 posts)... are the ones we never see, the "internals." What gets posted on the intertubes or crowed about on the MSM, is nothing more than propaganda with an agenda and a purpose. That agenda and purpose is disinformation.

(16,916 posts)The "I don't pay much attention to polls" poll response is winning your poll about polls.
In fact, it isn't even close... it has twice the responses as all the other responses combined!

(14,689 posts)I don't talk to many people about politics. When it comes to stickers and signs, it's nearly all Bernie. Also most GOP stickers are for Carson and Trump.
Older relatives, who are Democratic, tend to support Clinton. Younger friends I see on Facebook are uniformly for Sanders. I find Bernie to be beloved by almost every liberal I interact with. Most like Clinton, but don't have that same connection.
