Quinnnipiac national poll: Sanders leads all GOPers; Clinton only leads Trump

[IceSpear]

You know what's going to be insufferable? If Hillary loses the general, all we're going to hear about is how we would've won in a landslide had we nominated Sanders instead, using polls conducted 8-9 months before the election as "evidence."

Even if Hillary wins, we'll probably still hear about how we would've won the Senate and House in a landslide too if only we nominated Bernie and swept to victory on his 400+ EV coattails.

I doubt that these bad numbers would hold for Clinton. She has been held to the most scrutiny.

Her numbers are 37-58...how could she bounce back from that in a general??

This is one poll. I highly doubt her favorability ratings are actually that low. Even so, she could certainly improve them, and low favorability ratings don't doom every candidate.

They are pretty bad in other polls, too. Her ratings will be a massive liability in the general election.

Bernie Sanders or Clinton has the hard core Dem base to vote for them. And other than Pa or Iowa being a tossup, Demsare closer to the 272 electors needed for the win.

"Establishment" politicians of both the GOP and the Democratic Party are doing badly this year.  Hillary Clinton is as Establishment as they get.

It could be in her case that the Clinton coalition is no more. It could not get Al Gore elected. Kerry did worse in trying to resuscitate it. Obama got clobbered by margins larger than 10% in five states (Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Tennessee, and West Virginia that Clinton won) -- twice. Democrats have a better chance of winning Virginia (a state that neither Carter nor Clinton carried) than any of the New Orleans-Charleston (WV) arc.

At this point I practically see Hillary Clinton losing much like Kerry in 2004 -- but Bernie Sanders winning much like Obama in 2008 or 2012.

Agree.

You're already preparing for how to ignore the people saying "We told you so"? Not good.
