in June 2015, that gave Hillary a 12 point lead.

And it wasn't the only one.

The only things that put him in a better position is that Bernie gave him full-throated support a month ago -- and that Biden has no Jill Stein running against him. Oh, yes -- and he won't have misogyny to factor in.

June 15, 2016

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton has a 12-point lead over Donald Trump nationally, a new Bloomberg Politics poll shows.

Clinton has 49% support to Trump's 37%, with Libertarian Gary Johnson at 9%, according to the poll of 750 likely voters. The poll was conducted Friday through Monday and released Tuesday evening, meaning many of those polled were surveyed before the Orlando terrorist attack.

Particularly damaging for Trump: 55% of those surveyed said they would never vote for him, compared to 43% who said they'd never back Clinton.
