THAT tops EVERYTHING else…..
Does THAT erase the age question?
Does that cancel out the Democratic rookies ?
Do the numbers favor a former Obama Vice President???
The sprawling Democratic presidential field is incredibly diverse, but a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs finds Democrats give a collective shrug to gender, race and age as factors they’re considering when supporting a candidate.
Instead, Democratic registered voters are yearning for experience in elected office. A whopping 73% cited that as a quality that would make them more excited about supporting a presidential candidate.
Twenty-five candidates are running for the party’s nomination and include several women, a Latino, multiple candidates of African and Asian descent, and a 37-year-old gay man less than half the age of the 76-year-old early front-runner, former Vice President Joe Biden. But most Democratic voters say these characteristics make no difference in their enthusiasm, the poll shows.
Benji Grajeda, 50, of Santa Ana, California, was once excited at the idea that Hillary Clinton could become the first female president. Now he just wants stability.
“I don’t think it matters, gender,” said Grajeda, who, though he is Latino, also said he wouldn’t be any more motivated to back a Latino for president. Instead, Grajeda cited experience in office as his top priority because “Trump has no experience.”….

Bad news for Sanders.
These MoveOn types are politically engaged all the time so this is a Poll with some meaning.
Scott P says
Sanders only 2% higher than Biden with MoveOn members? Ouch.

ALL the recent polling IS bad news for Sanders….
Warren is running him down…..
His electiabity is dropping ….
While he STILL is #2 in the polling average ?
I STILL maintain that Sanders simply CANNOT win the nomination….
