So does Quinnipiac think the Democrats are going to win California and New York by 40 points or what? Because their national polls and state polls don't make any sense other wise.

How is Sanders beating Clinton?

I mean, national polls a year out generally aren't too accurate, but still...

Its probably Clinton +3, like the PPP has it, obviously the CO POLL was off.

[Skye]

Rubio isn't half bad. As usual, Trump's numbers are abysmal.

[Eraserhead]

Why'd they conduct a poll over Thanksgiving weekend?

[henster]

So, yes Sanders was right about him being more electable than Hillary, at least at this moment. His team should really publicize these polls.

[Maxwell]

Hillary's favorables still stink, Sanders' are okay now. Doesn't mean Hillary can't turn it around during the general/Sanders stinks it up if he wins the nom.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Her favs are tied to Obama, that's why Biden didnt run.

These numbers are too favorable towards Dems anyway. The PPP poll showing Clinton marginally ahead of Trump is a bit better.

Once Clinton steps put of Obama's shadow at convention, her polls will get better.

[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?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Is this a joke?
Or does Quinnipiac really thinks that the Democrats lead nationally while losing Colorado and Florida by double digits?

[EliteLX]

Goodness, Quinnipiac can't make up their minds. It's either 1984 or 2008 and they can't quite decide.

newsflash: it won't be close to either.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This is a Registered poll, they tend to favor Dems. QU will be wind up where PPP is, eventually. Marginally close race, with Clinton slightly ahead.

As to the current state of the race, agreed. I would argue Clinton & Rubio race is about neck and neck though, there is most likely little official lead towards either candidate.

Why'd they conduct a poll over Thanksgiving weekend?

Good point - all the Republicans were probably out with family and/or supporting commercialism while Democrats hid inside all weekend long.

So according to Quinnipiac, Hillary is leading nationwide but trailing by eleventy bajillion points in every swing state.

That's why trusting general election polls this early on makes no sense - eccentricities in certain states are exaggerated, only to make sense again when the general election rears its head.

It could be that the recent statewide polls are from a time when Democrats reeled in the polls, and the nationwide poll reflects a time in which Democrats have recovered.

That happens on occasion. There will be blips.

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.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

It's because Bernie isn't going to win the nomination and no one is going to waste time, energy or money on going after him properly. If they thought he was a chance? Watch those numbers collapse.

[Tender Branson]

I'm sceptical of this poll, because it was done during Thanksgiving.

Over the TG holidays, even Obama's approval went up from 44% to about 50% in the tracking polls, which could mean this sample here is more Democratic than usual.

With the holidays over and the donkeys of the nation (=Democrats) back at work and not picking up the phones anymore, the polls are now back to normal. This poll is probably about 5% too Dem-friendly.
