Clinton Lead Over Trump Would Grow Without Sanders in The Race (Hillary 51% vs Trump 43%)

[riversedge]

Of course it would increase for Hillary. Right now the Democratic voters are split.

Clinton Lead Over Trump Would Grow Without Sanders in The Race

by Dante Chinni

The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows Hillary Clinton with a narrow three-point lead over Donald Trump, 46 percent to 43 percent. But if Bernie Sanders were out of the race the NBC News political unit estimates her lead would likely be much larger, perhaps up around eight points, 51 percent to 43 percent.

The difference in those two scenarios is one kind of voter that pops in many polls: The Sanders-only supporter.

1. Sanders Lead Over Trump Would Grow Without Clinton in The Race

[riversedge]

2. The OP is a real nbc headline while yours is more made up stuff.

[virtualobserver]

7. The article is "made up stuff"....if you actually read it.

[Perogie]

9. article says it is an estimate

Why don't you understand the facts?

[riversedge]

11. Yes, I know it is an estimate. I included that sentence in the OP.

[Wilms]

19. And I failed to note that mine, too, is an estimate.

[Armstead]

3. If so, it would behoove the Clinton campaign to stop dissing Bernie and his supporters

Ought to open up the Democratic Party and stop pretending the 40 percent who have supported Sanders have leprosy.

[B Calm]

8. +1. Divisive OP's is standard procedure for

Hillary supporters. Like one poster brought up, take Hillary out of the race and Bernie's numbers against Trump would go up too. If they are so sure Hillary has won this, why in hell are they trying to divide the party even more than what it already is?

4. Weak candidatitis or flawed candidate syndrome.

Please don't blame Sanders for her nagging pre-existing conditons.

5. A lot more voters would be a lot happier

if Hillary and Donald were not in the race.

Between the two they are decidedly unpopular and distrusted.

They're allowed to run and assert their candidacies. But neither can make voters like them, and indeed, the voters are the ones voting.

6. That's still way too close....

considering just how unhinged and crazed Donald Trump is and how many demographic groups he has outright offended, there's no way things should even be THAT close. From ANY of our candidates.

[riversedge]

15. I am really amazed how many are for the con man Trump selling them snake oil. It is

alarming in fact.

[Bonobo]

10. Bernie should then, by that logic, be similarly affected.

The Dem vote is split. You said it.

So how much more of an easy victory would it be for Bernie if Hillary were not in?

[riversedge]

14. Well we know that will not happen. June7 is the day for Hillary to be named the Presumptive

Nominee for the the Democratic Party 2016

Ask yourself why they are so admired by so many? They R the real deal. Not some phony con man [Trump] selling u snake oil!

[Bonobo]

17. Most admired? LOL, how about least trusted? nt

12. This makes no sense. I am sure that Sanders being in the race hurts Clinton now,

but this is just wild guessing from NBC, not a poll.

[yallerdawg]

13. Bernie IS hurting our General Election campaign.

Right now, Trump is consolidating Republican unity behind their nominee.

Bernie is "feeding him lines," Trump says.

NOW is the time for Democratic unity!

[Duckhunter935]

16. So that would mean

Bernie's larger lead would get even larger if she dropped out

[Bonobo]

18. Not sure the OP was able to think of the implications of their OP. nt
