These are the results among just D/Rs, which is why "wouldn't vote" is so high. When you filter it among likely D/R primary voters, Trump's lead is decreased significantly (and Clinton's increased significantly.)

Not that it matters since Reuters is a junk pollster, as evidenced by the fact that they are still polling candidates who have not only shown no interest in running, but have already endorsed a candidate. Now that we're getting much more polling, there's no need to scrape the bottom of the barrel anymore.

People actually take Reuters seriously? They constantly have wild swings for literally no reason, and included candidates who weren't running for like a year.

Even they’ve given up on including Gilmore in their polls.

Yet they included Cuomo and Gillibrand for like 6 months after they endorsed Hillary.

If the New Hampshire primary had only included Democrats, Sanders would have only won by 4%.

But Reuters doesn't narrow it down to "independents who plan to vote in the Democratic primary" or even "Democratic-leaning independents." It's just "independents." Which includes tons of right wingers who have no intention of voting in a Democratic primary. Typical from incompetent Reuters. That's probably why Pollster only uses the numbers among Democrats.

Also, there are a lot of closed primaries/caucuses.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was true, but Reuters is garbage.
