Hillary already has name recognition - she should be ahead....she has been around for decades and the thought of her as a presidential candidate has also been around for decades. Sanders in comparison has minimal name recognition. Given the positive exposure (Sanders has charisma, credibility, and says the right words) Sanders can only go up and Hillary can only go down....from a biased perspective

Hillary's negatives have always been of concern - within and outside her party. Should she win the primary, this will become a problem for her and the rest of us in the general election.

Thanks for doing the work of posting this....
