A number of comparative studies were performed during the primaries regarding the electibility of various candidates against their counterparts on the other side. Sanders performed very well against Trump on those metrics.
There are a number of people advancing the 'we have no evidence' banner in this thread, which is strange because studies of electibility were commonly discussed here during the primaries.
- maxerickson 10y agoI just happen to believe it. What it comes down to is that I don't think electability polls taken before the conventions can really tell us much about how people would feel about Sanders after he started getting hammered in a general election.
- ABCLAW 10y agoCertainly! That's a fair criticism. I just wanted to point out that the statement that there is 'little or no evidence' is not accurate. Many rounds of electability analysis were performed.
