Raise your hand if you think an MSNBC/WSJ poll showing Senator Sanders...........

with 81% of Democratic support is meaningless. Since the current poll showing 81% of Democratic support for Hillary has been touted as meaningless, I expect Senator sander's supporter to be the first to raise hands.

and since HRC has been running for President for at least 10 years now (more like 20) it is reasonable to assume she would have high name recognition.

Bernie is new to this and has much lower name recognition. If he had anywhere near 81% support it would be a miracle (or a horrible poll).

The two things are not equal.

Unrec for false equivalency.

As far as I know, there has been no media report on any poll for Senator Sanders. Google hypothetical questions.

So you won't get this Sanders supported to just do so because you said so.

Any polls prior to Sanders announcement would be meaningless as to how many would support him. If Hillary had 80% in the polls when only she had announced, I would believe that. Doesn't mean that Sanders having that now is wrong
