New WBUR poll. Hillary edges out Trump by 2. Bernie? Crushes Trump by 17

[cali]

And that ain't the fault of Bernie and his supporters.

Yes, I know she'll be the nominee. My point is that she's a weak candidate independent from Bernie.

In fact, she's such a weak candidate that I understand why she and the democratic establishment are desperate to get Bernie out before CA.




Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton would squeak past Donald Trump in New Hampshire if the general presidential election happened today, according to a new poll.

Clinton leads Trump, 42 to 40 percent, in the WBUR survey released Wednesday. Six percent would prefer another candidate, while 9 percent do not know or are undecided.


Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, faces a more daunting challenge in New Hampshire if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) ultimately becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.
Sanders leads Trump by 17 points in that scenario, 53 to 36 percent. Four percent would prefer another candidate, while 6 percent do not know or are undecided.

Wednesday’s results also show that Clinton and Trump are viewed unfavorably by a majority of likely New Hampshire voters.

1. All the more reason for Hillary to withdraw from the race... Bernie is the only candidate that can clean tRump's clock.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

12. I am not surprised

Bernie has been double teaming Hillary with the Donald. No doubt this constant negative crap he throws at Clinton echoed by Trump or vice verse takes a toll. This is akin to someone killing their parents and then asking for mercy because they are orphans...he caused is causing such polls. Luckily early polls are meaningless...once we kick him to the curb all will be well.

2. I don't believe it, Bernie has never faced the GOP

9. Pssst....there's more than one political party in Vermont. (nt)

[Metric System]

3. Sanders has faced ZERO attacks from Republicans. He polls higher because he's unscathed.

8. Fine. Forget Bernie. Hill is still a horribly weak candidate

[Demsrule86]

13. Well she beat

your guys butt handily.

[MisterP]

4. also 46-42 and 48-45: why's the DNC ramming this spoiler down our throat?

5. I thought the SDs were there so that a winner

against the repugs would become the nominee.
I guess I was wrong.

[kentuck]

6. I support Bernie but I do not believe this is a credible poll...

Because, if Bernie were attacked to the same degree as Hillary, I think his polls would be much lower. Just my opinion.

7. Who is the preferred president?

I've heard it said that if you're for Bernie, you don't care if Trump beats Hillary.
I think the super delegates, especially the lobbyists for birds corporations, MIC and pharma, don't seem to care that Trump will beat Hillary.
Don't blame me if Trump wins. I support the much stronger Democratic challenger. That's clearly Bernie.

14. He can't even win a Dem primary

Obama coming out of nowhere managed it...your candidate is weak and becoming more so every day.

[ViseGrip]

10. Hey Hillary, get out of the race! You're losing to a clown!

[Demsrule86]

15. If by losing you mean

winning ...less than 90 delegates to go.

[TwilightZone]

18. She's ahead, and it's just New Hampshire

But hey, other than that, you're right on.

[Doctor Jack]

19. And New Hampshire is always close

Obama only won it by a few points in 2012. It leans dem these days but there are still a lot of republicans there. There were many points in 2012 where Romney was ahead, even by double digits

[Doctor Jack]

11. Isn't this just for New Hampshire?

I saw WBUR had a new Hampshire poll out today. I don't think a local new station has the means to do a nationwide poll too.

[TwilightZone]

16. Yes, it's just New Hampshire

"WBUR surveyed 501 likely voters in New Hampshire"

[TwilightZone]

17. "WBUR surveyed 501 likely voters in New Hampshire"

Do you even read the stuff you post?

[seabeyond]

20. Because the young white male will switch from Trump to Sanders. I am not gonna do a male candidate

because young white male voters have issues.
