A disclaimer: Online reader polls like this one are not statistically representative of eligible primary voters. They are a measure, however imprecise, of which candidates have the most energized online supporters, or most social media savvy fan base. After all, what they are counting is the number of Internet-devices controlled by people who want to vote. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4253505/democratic-debate-eighth-miami-cnn-poll-survey/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4253505/democratic-debate-eighth-miami-cnn-poll-survey/"},"headline":"Vote Now: Who Won the Eighth Democratic Debate?","datePublished":"2016-03-10T03:52:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T15:46:01.609Z","description":"A post-debate poll","url":"https://time.com/4253505/democratic-debate-eighth-miami-cnn-poll-survey/","keywords":["Debates","Hillary Clinton","Bernie Sanders"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta79bd83f8b85045f/69887c415f570f6808b1f82d/timepol-democratic-debate-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-13.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta79bd83f8b85045f/69887c415f570f6808b1f82d/timepol-democratic-debate-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-13.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"TIMEPOL Hillary Clinton Bernie Sanders","caption":"Democratic presidential candidates former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Sen.
