[Political Junkie Too]

This is a fascinating poll. It's questions are too numerous to mention, but a quick browse of the Independents shows that they don't like the Democrat primary slate.

Link: The Economist/YouGov Poll - September 22 - 24, 2019

Topline:

1,500 Adults. D+10.

• D: 35%
• R: 25%
• I: 40%

Maybe I'll post some interesting questions later.

[Political Junkie Too]

Here is a review of the Democrat and Independent favorable minus unfavorable for each major candidate (excludes "Don't know"). Score is "Very favorable" + "Somewhat favorable" - "Somewhat unfavorable" - Very unfavorable":

Additionally, I'm adding the belief that the candidate can beat President Trump ("Probably Beat" - "Probably Lose").

Candidate	Dem Fav	Ind Fav	Dem Beat Trump	Ind Beat Trump
Donald Trump	-75	-12
Elizabeth Warren	65	-6	50	-18
Bernie Sanders	54	-8	30	-16
Joe Biden	52	-10	48	-11
Kamala Harris	48	-20	19	-37
Pete Buttigieg	42	-9	6	-29
Beto O'Rourke	39	-22	-2	-39
Corey Booker	38	-14	-2	-37
Julian Castro	28	-14	-13	-39
Amy Klobuchar	23	-12	-11	-38
Andrew Yang	15	-5	-12	-34
Tulsi Gabbard	11	-10

Bottom Line

From this poll, Independents don't think that ANY Democrat candidate can beat President Trump.

Furthermore, Independents have an opposite view of the Democrat candidates from the Democrats themselves. This may change as the number of Independents who say "Don't Know" goes down.
