I will always believe that the Clinton scandals had more to do with the 2000 election than Nader or Bush. The first time I saw Dimson announce was on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, where he promised to bring dignity back to the Oval Office. People don't want to live through that crap again. Plus, Trump's whole appeal has been that he is anti-establishment and not accepting donations. Hillary is not going to be able to fight him on either one of his strong suits. Bernie can fight him on both.

Didn't Bill have record high approval at the end of his term?

After his impeachment proceedings in 1998 and 1999, Clinton's rating reached its highest point at 73% approval.[3] He finished with a Gallup poll approval rating of 65%,[4] higher than that of every other departing president measured since Harry Truman.[5]

in all three states support voter ID, which implies to me that more republicans were sampled. In addition, there is no indication for example, the percent of Sanders' supporters who said they would vote for Trump over Hillary.

Here is what is known, and why I question the sampling:

The overall popular vote has Hillary up + 2.2 Million over Trump, and 3.1 Million over Sanders
