Bernie Sanders Gets Electable By BEATING Every Top Republican Candidate In New Poll


"...Bernie Sanders has risen to become the second electable possibility for Democrats in 2016, and if could upset Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic nomination, the senator from Vermont might be favored to become the next President Of The United States..."


Hello,...hello,....can you hear us now?........



A new Quinnipiac University poll found that Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders beats every top Republican candidate in hypothetical general election matchups.

The Quinnipiac poll showed Sanders beating Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Ben Carson:

– Topping Trump 49 – 41 percent;
– Getting 44 percent to Rubio’s 43 percent;
– Beating Cruz 49 – 39 percent;
– Leading Carson 47 – 41 percent.

Sanders has the highest net approval rating ( +12) of any candidate Democratic or Republican, and he is also the candidate that voters deemed the most honest (59%-28%). While Sanders does better on net approval rating and honesty than Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner also leads against all of the top Republicans. The Democratic Party has a very good problem on its hands. While Republicans don’t appear to have a single electable candidate, Democrats have two. Either Sanders or Clinton would be the favorite to win the presidency if they won the Democratic nomination.

The Quinnipiac Poll demonstrates how far Sen. Sanders has come in a short period. The attacks on him for being a “socialist” aren’t working. Voters are responding to his economic message and his honesty. Sen. Sanders (I-VT) is standing out from the pack because one never gets the sense that he is pandering.

So predications on how he would fare in the GE (prior to being slammed as a socialist 24/7 for months) is not really relevant, now is it?

so the GOP and media have given him a free ride while they been relentlessly attacking the democratic frontrunner. Bernie leading in any general election poll is artificial.

It's good to see our two main candidates can beat the republican field as it stands now, puts us in a good spot for the GE.

Go democrats.
