Holding strong in the rust belt. Not surprised, and expect to see the gap widen! Bernie has been very active in halls and picket lines. Recent 5 day tour, 8 gigs. Not bad, old man!

Not enough information to know what it means. Did it include a 1-on-1 with each of the leading Dem candidates? Or is it if it's just Sanders vs Trump? If the others did internal polls the same way, they might all beat Trump in those states, if it's only Biden v. Trump, or Beto v. Trump, or Harris v. Trump, etc.

Not enough info.

Biden & Sanders are the only 2 candidates with national name recognition at this time.

PPP poll from a couple of weeks ago:

There’s constant arguing about who is and is not electable in the Democratic Presidential field. But the reality right now is that Trump polls pretty much the same no matter which Democrat you test against him, coming in at 40-42% support. Joe Biden with a 53-40 advantage over Trump does the best. Beyond that the rest have pretty similar numbers. Bernie Sanders leads Trump 49-41, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker do 48-41, Elizabeth Warren does 48-42, Kirsten Gillibrand and Beto O’Rourke do 47-41, and Pete Buttigieg does 45-41. The relative strength of the Democrats seems to generally correspond with how prominent they’ve been on the national scene over time.

Democrats also have a 51-40 lead on the generic Congressional ballot, consistent with their strong advantage on that metric throughout the 2018 election cycle.
