(36,392 posts)since there is so much antipathy toward Clinton. Also Mrs. Clinton's coat tails will be minimal, while Sanders has millions of new voters and apathetic voters who will tilt the playing field if someone gives them a reason to show up. It is difficult to see how someone who doesn't normally vote, and is excited by Sanders' platform, will go out to vote for Clinton's platform of pay-to-play healthcare, KeystoneXL, TPP, continuation of all of the wars, refusal to stomp on the banks, death penalty, wall street friendliness, charter schools, and reaching out to the most detested congress in history.
Mrs. Clinton may well win the ge due to name recognition, her gender, and a certifiable opponent. But she'll probably need to do it without all of those screaming throngs at Bernie's rallies. Furthermore, if she wins, the republicans will keep both houses of congress (probably grow their majorities), and so fixes to most of the nation's problems will not be forthcoming

(1,209 posts)polling and the 2016 elections where they inadvertently stated that the Republican candidates will be Rubio and Bush.
The polls will now begin to reflect just that and is one reason Jeb is giving a foreign policy speech so his numbers can go up as well.
The polls will be used strictly for manipulation of opinion between now and November 2016, though that has always been their primary purpose, we will only see polling that presents the results they intend to obtain.
