Bernie Sanders 325, Donald Trump 213

[538Electoral]

This is what I think a Bernie Sanders vs Donald Trump would look like at this moment.

Sanders - 325
Trump - 213

Of course, Arizona, North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa and Maine's 2nd Congressional District I all think could go one way or another.

[Reaganfan]

Bernie Sanders would need to do 9% better than Hillary Clinton in Ohio to win the state by a single point. Florida is way too conservative for him.

[Politician]

I would give OH and FL to Trump but give NC, AZ, IA and ME-2 to Sanders.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

Florida as usual super close. Ohio much closer, but not sure if it'll tighten enough for Sanders to be able to win.

[here2view]

Sanders is not winning Ohio or Florida.

I feel like the guy in SpongeBob. "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?"

Ohio is not a tossup state, it's Lean R at the very least. Sanders is also not winning Florida with his views. It's a Tilt R state, and the vast majority of Cubans won't vote for a socialist. Not to mention Florida has recently gone for the incumbent frequently (Obama 2012, Bush 2004, Clinton 1996, Bush 1992, Reagan 1984.)

I supported Sanders in 2016, but it's more likely than not that he loses these two if he ran.

[SN2903]

Such an overrated candidate he would do worse than Hillary

[ElectionsGuy]

If anybody can take back some of the Obama-Trump voters, its Sanders. If he focuses mostly on economics he could win back MI, PA, and WI, and win MN, NH and ME by much bigger margins. Though I don't think he wins back FL and OH.

[morgankingsley]

While I do think he would do better than Hillary, I do think that he wouldn't this well. I feel like some people are feeling the burn out (get it)

[MABA 2020]

I feel like Sanders wouldn't win Florida, but could win Iowa. Other than that good map

[History505]

Change Florida and the rest could be a possibility.

[538Electoral]

Why don't you guys think Sanders will win Florida?

[Politician]

Why don't you guys think Sanders will win Florida?

Because his preferred candidate lost to Ron DeSantis?

Cubans will flee the Democratic Party if a "socialist" is the nominee.

[Mr. Illini]

When is Bernie going to go away? A talented slate of candidates is going to be running, including progressives like Sherrod Brown. We don't need to elect a 79 year old.

[Frenchrepublican]

So according to you Sanders win OH and FL but lose IA ? That’s unlikely. Sanders is a socialist and would crater with Cuban voters like Gillum and thus would likely lose FL. Concerning OH it’s very difficult to imagine any democrat winning the state outside a scenario where Trump loses by double digits

[The3rdParty]

I feel like Sanders wouldn't win Florida, but could win Iowa. Other than that good map

Yup, also ME-2 could flip. Sanders would do better than average dem in white areas and worse than average dem in minority areas

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

This is what I think a Bernie Sanders vs Donald Trump would look like at this moment.

Sanders - 325
Trump - 213

Of course, Arizona, North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa and Maine's 2nd Congressional District I all think could go one way or another.

There's no way Bernie loses Iowa if he's winning Ohio.

[Progressive Pessimist]

he has a better chance to win in 2020 than he would have had in 2016 but I still think he is overrated and has a low ceiling. At best he probably just wins all the Clinton states plus Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin; the bare minimum required. A win is a win, don't get me wrong, but that also doesn't give him much room for error, if my hunch is correct.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Sanders wouldn’t win FL and he lol wouldn’t win OH .

FL is too conservative for him and OH is almost impossible for a dem to win in 2020(not fully impossible but unless Dems get an 08 style win Trump will win OH).

Yes he can win back some of the Obama/Trump voters in North East OH but he would lose ground in the Cincinnati Suburbs and thus lose the state handily as well .

[Cokeland Saxton]

Sanders has no chance of winning FL because the Cubans wouldn't elect someone as far to the left as him. An if he can't take FL, he can't take OH.
