Are there any sites who have a poll similar to this one for the 2016 election?

Wherein you could rank candidates from both parties from order of first preference to last preference?

I remember doing this back when somebody posted this on DU in early 2015. That was before Trump had announced.

I just recall at the time being bitterly angry (for good reason, mind you) at Jeb Bush for the crap job he did as governor of my state, plus the whole Bush fatigue thing. So I went in expecting Jeb to round out the bottom.

And then I remember seeing Donald Trump's name, and I realized no matter how deep my antipathy was for Jeb, the idea of Donald Trump as a presidential candidate was so horrific there was no way anyone but him was getting that last slot.

The ironic thing now is that in hindsight--and even now still having a lot of angry feelings for Jeb during his time of governor--I see the list of some of the Republicans there and knowing about those people now what I didn't know then, I don't know if Jeb would even make it to the bottom 10. Definitely not the bottom 5.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
