Sanders Crushing Trump in Polls 53 Percent to 38 Percent

[siru]

The Vermont Senator is poised to arrive at the Democratic convention as the stronger candidate to take on Trump.

Senator Bernie Sanders would defeat Donald Trump relatively easily in a general election, according to the latest polls. An average of the three most recent major polls predicts a victory of more than 14 points, which would be a landslide in modern presidential politics.

CNN/ORC, May 1: Sanders obliterates Trump by 16 points

IBD/TIPP, April 28: Sanders defeats Trump by 12 points

USA Today/Suffolk, April 24: Sanders defeats Trump by 15 points

As the country adjusts to the notion that a xenophobic, racist billionaire will be the Republican candidate for the presidency in November, no doubt many hope the strongest candidate emerges from the Democratic Party to defeat him.

The polls are clear on who that candidate is.

And at this point, it isn’t just the polls. Political analysis of the two Democratic campaigns also indicates Bernie Sanders is the stronger candidate.

Analysis Beyond the Polls

Independent Voters. Most important of all, Bernie Sanders polls extraordinarily well among independent voters and new voters. In fact, he’s the only candidate this year who polls consistently stronger among independents than Donald Trump, which explains his advantage in poll after poll. The Clinton campaign often complains that it “struggles” in open primaries — such as Indiana — where independents get to vote. Well, the general election is one big open primary. Everyone gets to vote. Independents will decide this election, and according to the polls and according to actual votes already cast, they prefer Bernie Sanders first, Donald Trump second, and Hillary Clinton last. Some might say November is a long way off, but historically April and May polls have proven accurate about presidential elections. We’ve already seen in the primaries and caucuses how well Bernie does when independents are allowed to vote.

Approval Ratings. The next most important predictor of electoral success is approval ratings. Bernie Sanders has approval ratings that historically place him comfortably among the winners of the last three decades of presidential elections. Trump and Clinton, by comparison, have among the worst approval ratings of any candidates in history who have reached this stage. Simply put, whichever party gets to nominate Bernie Sanders will win. He’s the most popular politician in the country right now. This chart shows the last 35 years of presidential candidates and their approval ratings.

not until california votes.

If he wins CA 2 to 1 as per the latest predictions..then I think DNC should make it a contested convention.

NY had a chance to make it right.

let it all be in the hands of CA.. SO Trump has better chances and US would get screwed eventually while CHina and India will emerge as super powers
