http://www.commondreams.org/news/2016/04/25/sanders-still-strongest-candidate-new-poll-shows-trump-and-clinton-near-tieSanders continues to trounce Trump by double digits, 51 to 40 percent, according to the George Washington University survey
Though the media and political establishment have all but declared Hillary Clinton the official Democratic presidential candidate, new polling on Monday shows that Bernie Sanders continues to fare significantly better when matched against Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.
According to the latest George Washington (GW) University Battleground Poll, Clinton's lead over Trump has shrunk to 3 percentage points, with her besting the billionaire developer by just 46 to 43 percent nationally. What's more, the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
The RealClearPolitics average has the former secretary of state with a slightly higher lead (8.5 percent) over Trump.
Meanwhile, Sanders continues to trounce Trump by double digits: 51 to 40 percent in the GW poll, and 53 to 37.8 percent, according to RealClearPolitics.

If Hillary wins the nomination, I'm guessing t will get ugly here at DU November 9th.

That's the problem with many Bernie supporters. They create their own facts out of thin air and then get shocked when Hillary trounces Bernie in states like New York.
