Quinnipiac national poll: Clinton and Sanders lead all Republicans by 1-10 pts

[Holmes]

Yeah, Sanders is so much more electable before Independents and Republicans know about his $1 trillion infrastructure spending plan, or how he'll pay for his universal health care. Does anyone remember what happened the last time the term "$1 trillion" came up when Obama proposed his stimulus plan? It didn't go well. Clinton's been dragged through the mud for the past year, Bernie's been hit with the kiddie gloves. Can we put this argument to rest?

As usual, Bernie is stronger in the general. Difference is

Carson: Bernie +3
Trump: Bernie +2
Cruz: Bernie +5
Rubio: Same

Hillary and Bernie both have a 44% favorable rating. But her disfavorable rating is 20 points worse, 51% vs 31%. I suspect the undecideds will break very heavily against Hillary in the general election.

Sanders has received about 1% of the Republican/media attacks that Hillary has. Of course he's going to poll better. It's the Biden effect.

This. I'm actually surprised he's not doing much better than he is. It's a testament to how strong Hillary really is.

LOL, the fact that Hillary has gotten somewhat more attacks can in no way explain why she's got 20% more who are disfavorable to her. Bernie has a lot of room to grow with his 44% favorable rating. Hillary is stuck in the mid 40s.

So Clinton has a higher unfavorable rating than Bernie, and yet performs similarly to him in general election matchups and leads everyone? Beast.

I don't understand the "Democrats staying at home during Thanksgiving" argument, like whether being at home or not during a holiday is a partisan issue?
