Oops, Bernie supporters are seen as less obnoxious than Hillary supporters.

Sorry jfern, this is a subjective poll, not an objective study. By that logic, a poll showing a majority of Americans not believing in evolution means that evolution is "completely debunked."

So only David Brock gets to decide which candidate's supporters are big meanies?

You didn't debunk IceSpear's point here in any way. It's a subjective poll, unless you're claiming all objective studies are made up by the David Brock Conspiracy.

An (seemingly) online poll finding that the candidate who draws an overwhelming amount more support from online corners than the opposition is less obnoxious than others is...well, not surprising.

With that being said: I have been unfortunate enough as of late to veer off into some of these "Clinton corners" on the web (that I really didn't think existed in any reasonable quantity) and I will say that Clinton supporters are far more likely to poke Sanders with actual personal attacks and physical critiques than the other way around.

There will be truth even in subjective polls, in the relative nature of the data and more so if in high quantity.

This is like a few hours back in the IRC. I'm not going to waste time here, you guys clearly aren't willing to listen to any opposing viewpoints. Feel free to live in your echo chambers, but when you want to break out, we won't be there to help you.

Yeah, that's not at all to what I was referring. If you've got full crosstabs, then hand them over.

Funny how the dislike of supporters seems to match up perfectly with the favorability of the candidate in question.

What an ironic and contradictory thread posted by an obnoxious Bernie troll.

Poor jfern.

Once again jfern is Right on!

Well, not that I agree completely, but this is still awesome. Trump and Clinton supporters are much worse than that and Sanders supporters are a little nicer. The average could be true for Sanders however, because (like me for example) a small per cent of Sanders supporters are extremely angry (just as angry as Trump supporters), and by the way I'm angry at a lot more than just this particular election. Finally it is cool to be angry. Actually, some Sanders supporters are extremely naive and idealistic as well. You can't really pigeonhole Sanders supporters. I know a Clinton supporter who is very angry all the time and as much as she hates Trump, her anger like mine isn't about this election. She understands how horrible people are. Getting back to the election, a small number of people voted for Sanders (in WV e.g.) who are actually Trump supporters, this doesn't make Sanders supporters and Trump supporters any way the same, the main thing many of them (a minority of them) have in common is that the either don't like or don't trust Clinton (you know the person who said that she wouldn't run again back in 2009).

Of course this poll is subjective. So is the opinion of people who think otherwise. I know supporters of Sanders, Clinton, and Trump who are extremely obnoxious.

I still have yet to meet an aggressive Kasich supporter.

I can think of at least two on this forum.

I imagine there's a lot of politics in this poll. Cruz and Kasich supporters will all say Trump's are the most annoying. Clinton supporters will be split between Trump and Sanders, while Trump and Sanders supporters will all say Hillary. I doubt the people responding have actually been keeping a tally of what stuff they've read and kept a systematic ranking of the most vicious statements by candidate.

No, but if you want to prove a point here, you're going to need an objective study.

What place did you stumble upon? I doubt anything could match the vitriol directed towards Hillary and her supporters on Reddit.

I'm more and more convinced that jfern is actually a paid Clinton campaign plant, aiming at making Bernie supporters look foolish on the Atlas Forum.
