PPP Iowa poll: Hillary would lose to Rubio, walker, Huckabee and Carson

[cali]

All the margins are small including the margins by which she beats both Trump and Bush.

1. She is pretty much un-electable, too much baggage

[Romulox]

2. Her supporters quote national polling to quash support for Sanders (primaries aren't national)

then ignore how poorly Hillary does in those self-same national polls versus Republicans.

At least some of them understand that this is in error, but many do not seem to understand.

[Metric System]

3. Sanders isn't doing much better, if not worse, based on the same polling, not covered in that

article, but discussed on PPP's website: "On the whole he does only fractionally worse than Clinton in the head to heads."

9. uh no. I've been quite clear that I think Hillary will be the nominee, dear

And I posted this op.

[Romulox]

7. The difference is that his favorables *increase* as people get to know him, his positions.

Clinton has been losing support the more she speaks. So Sanders has the ability to improve his position, while Clinton has the likelihood of bleeding more and more support as time goes on.

[Metric System]

12. Bernie has not been attacked from the Left, Right and the MSM like Hillary. Of course her numbers

are going to take a hit when she's the biggest target. Whoever becomes the nominee can expect a barrage of attacks. The difference between Hillary and Bernie is that she is used to dealing with the negativity and fighting back. She is battle-tested.

11. didn't say he did, but as she's the likely nominee, i think this is pertinent

[Metric System]

13. Come on, your intention was to diminish Hillary while leaving out the pertinent fact that Sanders

isn't polling any better against Republicans in Iowa.

[cali]

16. I've.said repeatedly that it is very, very unlikely

that he will be the nominee. I have an op up right now saying that. and frankly, I have serious concerns about his viability in a general election. I have long expressed that I think Hillary is a poor candidate and a lousy campaigner. As in for many, many years. Just do a search.

You suck as a mind reader.

[Metric System]

17. I am well aware of your thoughts and feelings about Hillary.

[cali]

20. then why make shit up?

[Metric System]

22. I didn't make anything up. I just pointed out that your headline didn't paint the whole picture.

4. It's going to be a fight. Always is. All of our candidates are ready for it.

Hillary more than most at this point. Fact is, if she loses the primary, many of her people will shift to the camp of the primary winner. We are in a good spot but it will be a fight. Republicans don't roll over and don't play fair. All good, we are going to steamroll them.

6. I don't see how Biden doesn't jump in

I give it about a month.

O'Malley is just not cutting it as the Democratic party's establishment insurance.

If Clinton is the nominee it will be Kerry/Bush 04 all over again. And if Sanders is the nominee...well they just CANT have that.

[Metric System]

14. Jump in and battle it out for second place with Sanders? That's what the polling has shown.

[ram2008]

15. He's an insurance policy

On Clinton. Might as well run.

[SonderWoman]

8. What? Hillary has an 11 point lead on all of them.

10. this is a new ppp poll. I realize its not the only poll

[bullwinkle428]

18. If this doesn't prove that the party needs to get the Democratic candidates

on stage to begin debating AND SHOWING WHY DEMOCRATIC IDEAS ARE SUPERIOR, I don't know what does.

19. + 1000. the dnc is letting the repubs

get all the press because of dws's blind allegiance to hillary. she is willing to cost this country in order to get her candidate the nom.

if the r candidate wins the general (and he will if hillary wins the d nom), he should be sending dws the nicest fruit basket money can buy.

21. that is an excellent point.
