Meanwhile, South Korea walked out of negotiations on how to finance our military presence in that country, and then went ahead and signed a defense agreement with China.

I got 1 with Tulsi and have probably an unusually high opinion of her. Again, no foreign policy questions (unless you count TPP). |

If correct this is why Donald MUST GO
He is a (bleep) terrorist sent to do exactly what is happening
They tell him what to do.. he has trashed our country in so many ways..
China will probably be growing enough soybeans in Russia and South America from now to never need ours again? |

Another of our allies distancing themselves. Trumps attempts to help Russia is moving China more to world power. The world is losing confidence in what was once a trusted nation. It was mentioned at the impeachment hearings Russia is a failing nation. It's understandable. IMO he's hitched his wagon to a lame horse.

Thanks for posting this. I got Sanders and Warren. I really like Andrew Yang and was surprised to see him near the bottom of my selections. |

Yes, same here. After you read or click on an x number of WaPo articles, they'll give you that message. I cleared out my cookies for washingtonpost.com and the questionnaire appeared. |

In those cases, I right click and go to "open in incognito tab."

I guess I could be described as an equal opportunity voter, or . . . As much as I like Warren as a person and as a Senator, and would have no problems with her as Madam President, she comes up last. 'Bout sums up the value of these questionnaires.
Buttigieg
6
Yang, Steyer
5
Biden, Booker, Harris, Klobuchar, Sanders, Gabbard
4
Warren
3 |

Yang 8
Biden, Booker, Butigieg, Harris, Klobuchar 6
Steyer 5
Warren & Gabbard 4
Sanders 3
That said, it wasn't a very nuanced poll. In some cases, my feelings didn't match any of the choices. There also was no way to indicate the strength of my feelings on an issue -- something I care about a LOT is given the same weight as something I'm indifferent about. |

Very interesting reading everyone's results.
Such a range considering this place is just a big old echo chamber.

Saint Anselm Poll of New Hampshire:
Buttigieg 25
Warren 15
Biden 15
Sanders 9
Yes, you read that right. Mayor Pete is up by 10 in New Hampshire! Could be an outlier, but let's see if there's a trend in the upcoming weeks.
In matchups vs Trump in New Hampshire by the same polling organization, Biden and Buttigieg do better than Warren and Sanders, who are from neighboring states.

Question #1 is misleading. It claims Elizabeth Warren wants to "eliminate private healthcare insurance", but if you expand the answers of each candidate, it says Warren's desired plan would "essentially get rid of". She's not advocating that private insurance "should be eliminated".
With that said, I got:
Booker 7, Sanders and Warren 6 and Harris/Yang 5. |

My boy Mayor Pete seems to be doing well in Iowa and New Hampshire! I'm still not sure that he can win the nomination without African-American support, where he is lagging big time, but maybe if he wins the first two contests, that can change a little bit. He and Biden seem to be the two moderate candidates that are doing the best, so if Joe's campaign flounders, maybe Pete can pick up some of Joe's moderate support and some of his African-American support.
A long way to go, obviously. I'm guessing that Pete is the one that gets attacked the most at tomorrow's debate, given that he seems to be the one with the most momentum right now. |

| My biggest gripe about the Dems approach during these hearings, is that none of them are bringing up Trump's obedience to Russia or the 2 Guliani partners, who were just arrested. These topics should be all included. Also, if GOP members are going to talk about Ukraine 2016 fake theories and question Hunter Bidens qualifications, then Dems need to ask rhetorical questions about Trump kids and Rudy's son, who works in the WH. |

Good points.
Someone on twitter analyzed the internals of this poll and it looks like college educated voters are overrepresented in the sample. Which doesn't mean that Buttigieg isn't in the lead there, but maybe not by 10 points.
