This is a poll of Democrats. It asks Democrats who they believe would have a better chance against Trump. So the Democrats guess. Most picked Hillary.

Other polls include a head to head match up and ask Democrats, Independents, DTS's and Republicans who they would personally vote for. These are the polls we have been seeing that show Bernie beating Trump by a wider margin than Hillary.

The reason for this discrepancy? The DNC and Corporate Dems have been telling us for years that only a corporate/moderate democrat can get elected. A lot of us believe this. But just because we believe it that doesn't make it so.
