Sanders Crushing Trump in Polls 53% to 38%, Seen as Strongest General Election Candidate

[CountAllVotes]

The Vermont Senator is poised to arrive at the Democratic convention as the stronger candidate to take on Trump.

Senator Bernie Sanders would defeat Donald Trump relatively easily in a general election, according to the latest polls. An average of the three most recent major polls predicts a victory of more than 14 points, which would be a landslide in modern presidential politics.

CNN/ORC, May 1: Sanders obliterates Trump by 16 points
IBD/TIPP, April 28: Sanders defeats Trump by 12 points
USA Today/Suffolk, April 24: Sanders defeats Trump by 15 points

As the country adjusts to the notion that a xenophobic, racist billionaire will be the Republican candidate for the presidency in November, no doubt many hope the strongest candidate emerges from the Democratic Party to defeat him.

1. Here's an idea. Let's run the one who is within the MOE.

and hold our breath over currrent scandals as it will make the General Election so much more exhilarting....an adrenalin rush. A known winner is So Boring and Yesterday.

Any Kill the Messenger folk out and about today? It is the "right wing rag" called the Huffington Post. Of course the numbers have been out there for a week or so in a number of various media sources.

3. Yeah, let's make this one a nailbiter! The MSM would love that. nt

[thereismore]

2. If the GOP wants to win, they will nominate Sanders. Same for the Dems. nt

[libdem4life]

5. I'm unclear here...the GOP doesn't get a Primary vote.

[thereismore]

7. Tongue-in-cheek. Sanders beats them all. nt

[libdem4life]

8. Got it. Thanks.

4. Too bad the DNC fell in linbe with the Clintons three years ago.

They're in it too deep to back out now! So Bernie's gotta win this thing himself (with our help of course).

6. The country is hungry for change. Clinton is not that.

9. Interesting, it's not only Republicans and Democrats in the US,

but countries in Europe, as well. It really is taking on a "100th Monkey" scenario.

Their politics is rigged as is ours. They don't get to print the universal money, so have to pay their bills...to the IMF et all. Yet I hear the US lecturing them to "live within their means". Right, like we do. Check the national Debt...we are insolvent as hell, but are printing money like it had actual value.

And we know who is going to run up our tab, at least the quickest and with less thought...and it's not for health care or a safety net for the Peasants/aka declining Middle Class.

I see the Clinton Bubble as a microcosm of our National Bubble. No one wants to see that the Economic Emperor Has No Clothes. That's why I believe Bernie was not covered much at all. Those covering him stood to lose their power. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to get that.

10. There's panic in GD-P today

Everybody is blaming Bernie supporters for Hillary's upcoming loss if she is the Dem nominee.
They know she can't win the GE but they still support her. And they tell us that we're the
unreasonable and selfish ones.

Everyone climb on the Bernie express. We're going to Washington D.C.!!!

14. That doesn't even make sense. The polls have her matched up to Trump. How is that Bernie's fault?

[silvershadow]

11. That's not what I read elsewhere on DU.

BTW, they got me another hide today while I was sleeping. Calmed a report from Slate which referenced other mainstream media wasn't mainstream. or something....

[CountAllVotes]

12. They want us to go away

They don't #FeelTheBern.

I feel sorry for them don't you?

[jillan]

13. The msm ignores this. They should be talking about this nonstop.

These polls haven't changed for months. At what point are they going to pay attention to this? November after she loses?

[CountAllVotes]

15. They annointed their saint

Before the required eligibility to be one occurred to be called such!

Once they realize it is #BernieOrBust , maybe they too will #FeelTheBern ...


That is their only prayer best I can tell.
