Sanders Defeats Trump By a Wider Margin Than Clinton in a General

[pinebox]

Hmmm this is interesting & this is what I've been saying.
In a general, Bernie does better than Hillary. After polls released in WI yesterday, it is looking that way. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=710418

Bernie Sanders Defeats Trump By a Wider Margin Than Clinton in a General Election

First, Real Clear Politics http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_sanders-5565.html states definitively that polls show Bernie Sanders winning by a wider margin than Clinton over Trump:

RCP Average 47.2 42.0 Sanders +5.2

CNN/ORC 53 44 Sanders +9
PPP 44 44 Tie
NBC News/Wall St. 52 36 Sanders +16
Quinnipiac 47 42 Sanders +5
SurveyUSA 40 44 Trump +4

Compared to Hillary Clinton:

RCP Average 45.7 43.2 Clinton +2.5

CNN/ORC 50 45 Clinton +5
FOX News 40 45 Trump +5
PPP (D) 44 44 Tie
NBC News/Wall St. 49 39 Clinton +10
Quinnipiac 45 43 Clinton +2
ABC News/Wash Post 46 43 Clinton +3


While the most favorable poll for both Democrats is the NBC News/Wall St. poll, Sanders beats Trump in this poll by 16 points, as opposed to Clinton's 10 point lead. CNN has Sanders beating Trump by 4 points more than Hillary Clinton and overall, the Democratic-Socialist from Vermont defeats Trump in all the polls by an average of 5.2 points, as opposed to 2.5 points for Clinton.

2. Republicans want Hillary to win the nomination because they believe she will be

easier to beat.

3. For a guy who "Can't Win" he seems to be doing rather well.
