Why did they lump all the candidates into one race? That doesn't tell us jack when it comes to two separate primaries.

This is how it will appear on the ballot, and it's actually probably slightly more accurate this way. If instead they had asked the respondents which party they were supporting, then which candidate, a few might have been Republicans for Sanders or Democrats for Trump. This way they can just say "who are you voting for?" and put those numbers down. Undecided also in this case includes people who don't know which party they are voting for, let alone which candidate. Also, the math isn't really that difficult for sorting out the individual primary numbers. From this it's:

Trump - 39%
Cruz - 39%
Kasich - 21%

Clinton - 53%
Sanders - 47%

This primary doesn't even matter on the dem side though.  We already caucused last month, nobody is going to show up.  It's a silly poll and they should have just polled Republicans with this ballot.

The only "incentive" against it is that you have to sign an affidavit that specifically says you didn't participate in the caucus, and the party ballot you choose is public record (although caucus participation is not).

Wait, if you're a democrat you have to choose whether you vote in the caucus or the primary, you can't do both?
That don't make no sense
