Why the ABC/WP Democratic Primary Poll Is an Outlier

After the second Democratic debate, several media organizations took polls to see how the candidates were faring. They all conducted their polls in the time frame of June 28-July 1.

Three polls – ABC/Washington Post, Quinnipiac, and CNN – interviewed Democrats and independents leaning Democratic across the country. USA Today/Suffolk University interviewed likely Democratic caucus voters in Iowa only.

The ABC/WP poll is the real outlier among the three national polls. It shows the greatest divergence from the other polls with respect mainly to Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris, and to a lesser extent with Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren. CONT.
