and you can do your own deep diving into the data here if you are so inclined.
For Democratic voters,
Most important issue:
Terrorism 12%
Jobs and the Economy 43%
Wall Street Reform 13%
Rights and Equality 28%
Criminal justice & Sentencing 4%
Talking about breaking up the big banks is not as effective for Sanders as talking about a rigged economy if he ties the latter to jobs, which I have not heard as a regular part of his regular messages
How does Bill Clinton’s involvement in Hillary’s campaign affect voters
More Likely to Support Hillary 24%
Less Likely to Support Hillary 16%
No difference in support 60%
Slight edge for the Big Dog’s participation, despite his having aged. He is still held in pretty good regard by voters
Who would do a better job on each of the following issues, Clinton v Sanders
Improving race relations in America 59-41
Health Care 55-45
Fixing income inequality 46-54
Two takeaways:
1. Sanders pushing for single payer is not really moving voters. Note the numbers here effectively match the top line of 53-43 Clinton
2. Overall, perhaps because people think Sanders gets them more, people are willing to trust him more on addressing income inequality, which is why, as noted above, I find it a bit surprising that this connection has not been a regular part of what I have heard from him
The sample was 55-45 female to male, which in general tracks with the Democratic electorate
Age breakouts:
18-29 17%
30-44 19%
45-64 46%
65+ 18%
If the actual turnout breaks anything close to that, I think the top line margin of a ten point spread will be too low by at least 3 points.
In less than 48 hours you will have the early exit polls.
In the mean time, interpret away, regardless of whom you support.
