Not that I even pay attention to polls this far out. There's typically a bump after the presumptive nominee is chosen, a bump after the convention, but I'm sure none of the Sandernistas are going to discuss Bernie's sliding numbers according to this particular poll. Stop putting so much stock into national polls when Presidential elections are won by the Electoral College.
