A New Snapchat Poll Is Great News for Bernie Sanders.

The survey showed that an astounding 87% of young people are likely to vote in the upcoming Presidential election, and 31% named Bernie Sanders as the candidate that they respect the most.

I've wondered about the demographic breakdown here at GD-P... I don't see a lot of references to Snapchat (or even Twitter), and I know from reading a lot of high# posts that many in this community have been around for awhile.
Anyway, I suspect there might be some doubts about the significance of this "poll" and/or this article... but I'd love to get your reactions. Pro and Con.

to vote for Bernie in the primaries. If they do that, I've said it before-it won't even be close.

Just a quirk. Might lose one come November - joined the
military but will vote somewhere else. Maybe not, he's
on a waiting list and who knows. The military might run
out of money by November?
