But Sanders’ margin against both GOP leaders turns out to be much larger — a whopping 10 points, 50-40 percent, over Trump, and a robust 5 points over Bush, 47-42 percent. Compare Sanders’ appeal with other GOP candidates and the pattern is the same. For example, Clinton and Ted Cruz are in a dead heat, but Sanders bests Cruz by more than 3 points. In general, the Vermont senator does 3-5 points better against GOP opponents than the presumptive Democratic front-runner does.

1. Suggest?

The polls have been showing that since last fall.

Although apparently a lot of people, including many who post here on DU, haven't noticed any of those polls.

4. It's remarkably old news.

But it does keep on getting better, in that Bernie's potential margin of victory in the general election tends to keep on growing.

5. It's important to say- repeatedly.

Bernie can win in November. Knocking down that barrier is the first and biggest step in getting people to take him seriously and consider supporting him.

7. Bernie is unelectable. Hillary is by far the better candidate. Time to deal with it.
