Friend --
We have some big news!
What would the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination look like if it was done by ranked choice voting? Here are two ways to find out:
- Rank the candidates yourself tonight using this poll ahead of tonight's debate.
- Take a look at the new nationwide poll we just commissioned with YouGov
Tonight is the next opportunity to educate our friends and
family about ranked choice voting (RCV). If there are at least three
GOP candidates running this year for the nomination, we’ll be doing
the same for the GOP nomination.
Rank your favorite candidates in order of preference. Plus,
share this poll with your friends and family!
Vox
just reported on our first of its kind pre-debate YouGov survey.
It’s a chance for us all to learn a little more about how voters are
ranking the presidential candidates ahead of tonight’s debate. Here
are some top lines from the survey:
- More than two-thirds of participants reported that ranking their choices was easy, and 65% said they favor ranked choice voting, while only 13% opposed.
- In a head-to-head contest, Warren is preferred over Biden by 53% to 47%.
- While Biden leads in single choice support, Warren leads in breadth of support measured by rankings -- she is ranked in the top three by 58.6% of respondents, compared to Biden’s 50%, and ranked in their top five by 69%, compared by Biden’s 59%.
- Warren has the best favorability in the entire field, with 74% rating her favorably as compared to 13% unfavorable.
Lastly, we have a fun and
interactive ranking tool where you can see where the presidential
candidates rank once a candidate is removed.
Our elections matter, the time is now for
reform.
Sincerely,
