Here's a link to The Hill's tweet of this "poll".
It was conducted by the University of Northern Florida's Public Opinion Research Laboratory
The response from the professor who conducted the poll on why Sanders wasn't included:
We opted for the top two. We then wanted to see how candidates w different trajectories and diversity would fare vs @realDonaldTrump in a general election, hence including @PeteButtigieg and @KamalaHarris . If it were a primary poll obviously we would have had all 19 candidates.
A very interesting methodology where you pick the "top two" when the #2 spot has been fluctuating, then you skip #3 and include 4 and 5. Seems legit.
"Bernie doesn't stand a chance, so there's no point in including him in the polls." Oh but including fucking Buttigieg makes perfect sense.
