Why is this sticked instead of the Buttigieg thread?

[Gracile]

Why is this sticked instead of the Buttigieg thread?

Because most people here are more obsessed with polling data/polling hype than a milquetoast, fading presidential candidate.

And? Harris is a fading candidate too.

Poll hype >>> both of them. Period.

Uh Idk then ask someone to remove her thread. I don't really care as long has this Poll Hype Thread stays pinned!

Wow, after all the crazy polls this morning I wonder how this one will look.

Why is this sticked instead of the Buttigieg thread?

The Buttigieg thread literally had a page of discussion in one month. This has 2 pages already.

With that said, I’m not sure how eager I should deal to merge new topics into said de-stickied megathreads. I also have been considering making a Gabbard and Yang megathread but I don’t know if they should be stickied as there are enough stickied threads as is.

I mean, Gabbard is the Democratic Presidential Primary equivalent of spam mail and Yang is essentially a low energy meme at best

Isn't it better to have spam mail in one place than cluttered throughout the board?

Sure, as long as it isn’t stickied

Winthrop SC poll and Monmouth national poll probably coming next week.

Winthrop SC poll and Monmouth national poll probably coming next week.

Yep, Winthrop’s poll is coming tomorrow. 2 big things to note here:

- This will be the 1st qualifying poll from Winthrop this year.

- This poll could qualify Steyer for the November debate and could give Booker his 3rd of 4 qualifying polls (anyone else who still needs qualifying polls for November is highly unlikely to hit 3% here).

Yang hit 3% in a South Carolina poll in June (Post and Courier), so it's possible that he could do it again and secure his 4th qualifying poll too. At the time that poll ended, on June 14, Yang was polling only 0.8% nationally according to RCP. Today RCP has him at 3.6%, four times higher.

Well sadly he only got 2% today, but the fact that he got 2% in SC, which is easily his worst early state in terms of polling averages, guarantees that he’ll get his 4th poll very, very soon.

Why is this still stickied?  Monmouth NH Poll came out like two weeks ago and wasn't even that "hype" of a poll in the first place (Seltzer is the only poll worth getting hyped about).

That this is stickied rather than the Buttigieg campaign thread is just silly.

We had this in 2016 too, it will become more important next year, but it's basically just a heads up for people when polls are gonna come out soon.

I approve of a general poll hype thread being stickied.  Just thought it was silly that it was for the Monmouth Poll specifically.

But Buttigieg's campaign should be stickied.  He has the third-most money, fourth-best poll numbers, he's ahead of Sanders in Iowa and on an upward trajectory.

Oh this is a general thread, it just said that because the monmouth one was the most recent one expected at the time

Downward trajectory, both poll-wise and money-wise. I guess what you're referring to is that he's passed Harris, but that's only cause she's fallen even deeper.

Quinnipiac apparently has another poll incoming:
