How do voters who prioritize a candidate with similar issue positions see the race? How about voters who mainly want to beat Trump? The top three candidates being considered are the same for each group -- but they're ranked very differently.https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/issues-voters-see-the-race-differently-from-those-who-prioritize-beating-trump/ …
For voters who said winning was more important, Biden is the clear top choice in potential support (62%), with Warren 2nd (53%) and Sanders a distant 3rd (33%). But among issues voters, the race is closer: 47% are considering Sanders, compared to 43% for Warren and 39% for Biden.pic.twitter.com/Fg75MQgPwH
And these numbers didn't change much after the debate, though Warren essentially tied with Sanders among issues voters. And outside the top three, Buttigieg and Klobuchar made the largest gains among voters who prioritize winning.pic.twitter.com/sxWXa3iPB3
Vote your convictions. If you lose, you lose being true. If you abandon your convictions (totally or in part) you lose either way. I want Trump gone. I'll vote for whomever the Dems nominate, but I prefer the candidate who stands by her principles
Here’s the issue that is being lost: there is no other issue othe than beating Trump. The last week has demonstrated that. Dems who think otherwise are deluded.
The myth that Biden is more electable is the main problem this primary, and we should all be scared that so many Americans seem to believe this faulty assumption. He’s not exciting anyone to go vote, and Trump has more than enough “dirt” to work with
