POLL: Bernie Sanders Would DESTROY Trump In General Election

A new poll out from Quinnipiac. Here comes Bernie! It turns out he has more supporters than Donald Trump. He also would beat The Donald by a larger margin than Hillary Clinton would if the general election were held today. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Bernie Sanders would beat Donald Trump 51-38 in a general-election match-up, according to the latest poll from Quinnipiac University. Or — to put it in the course vernacular that Trump introduced to America this week — the billionaire would get "schlonged" by the democratic socialist.

"Sen. Bernie Sanders hammers him," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac poll. Hillary Clinton, the poll suggests, would also put Trump in his place — "Hillary Clinton tops him," added Malloy — though by a more modest 47-40.

That wasn't the only bad news for Trump, and by extension the GOP, to come out of the national poll: 61 percent of Americans say the Republican frontrunner "does not share their values," 58 percent believe he "is not honest and trustworthy,"and 57 percent say he "does not care about their needs and problems.””*

Someone needs to take Hillary quietly aside and tell her to step down for the greater good.

it doesnt matter how much bern is beating him by.. the fact that trump has even 38% is alarming. whats scarier than Donald Trump? the people voting for him.

My God it would be beautiful if the democratic party gained full control of the United States. Then maybe we can get this Looney Toons country back on track and possibly out of this Oligarchy in which we live in now.

I'm British and I've never rooted for any candidate to win an election like I have for Bernie Sanders. The Bern so fierce, you can feel it across the Atlantic.

[loganladue]

I've been saying this from the very start. If Bernie can get the nomination, he would almost certainly become president.

Don't get too comfy. Trump will go after Clinton relentlessly about her corporate/wall street connections and the debates wont be anything like the sickening love fest that the democratic debates are now. Trump has a serious chance of pulling this off.

To anyone thinking it's impossible for Bernie to win the nomination. If it's *so* impossible then why not vote for him anyway? it's not gonna matter either way, right?

Honestly though, only pessimism will cripple his campaign; not Hillary. Everyone thought she would win in '08 too.

Mark my words, Trump will feel the bern in 2016

[PatfromMania]

How do I find these polls? I want to take some of them lol

[nancymaxwell]

Where was that poll taken at the CPUSA monthly meeting?

You promote Bernie a lot. This helps to make up for the intentional lack of coverage by mainstream media. What an important role you play being from L.A. Thank you from Vermont to your home in California.

[dimytril]

So he's 2nd in the polls but would beat both trump and Clinton in a general election? How does that work?...

[imariot]

Then why do the polls say Hillary is ahead of Bernie ????

[Allenbass]

SO ready for a so called 'American Progressive Era'! That's what's Bernin' in my belly!
