..for that reason is wrong. I think either Bernie or Hillary would beat the Republican. Some of us just prefer Hillary

It was 62-31. Generally, as you do better in a primary, you do better in the general election.

I consider that an indictment of taking polls too early versus a strike against Hillary. For the same reason I consider Bernie's match-ups against Republicans to show him doing better than he likely will. People tend to be optimistic about lesser known candidates - we naturally give unknowns the benefit of the doubt. When the spotlight does turn onto the less known candidates, flaws tend to be exposed.
