71% of Democratic voters think Hillary has a better chance than Sanders to win the general election

[Cali_Democrat]

Nearly three-quarters of Democrats say they expect to see her name atop the party's ticket come November, including nearly half of those who say they support Sanders. She is also broadly viewed as having the better chance to win the general election: 71% of Democratic voters think Clinton has a better shot than Sanders.

1. No wonder...they hear it from the MSM all day every day.

[FrenchieCat]

4. I continueously hear how Sanders is surging and will win Iowa and NH from the MSM.....

BTW, the GOP nominee will be Marco Rubio, IMO!

2. Democratic Party voters want to win and the majority see Clinton as a winner.

5. Time is upon us, shit is gonna happen. Primaries are being held, votes are gonna be cast.

It is exciting, I will say that.

Historically they arent all this exciting.

I am thankful we have what amounts to two candidates who are both VERY strong on social justice.

Who dont hate minorities and foreigners.

8. Drinking games...hmmm. When Sarah is talking, each time she doesnt make

sense?

Would take alcoholism to an all time high.

9. Lol yes.

Even Trump must think she is an idiot.

7. Correct

And I am one of those who sees Clinton as a winner. A candidate who none of the fractured , angry rest ofcthe candidates can even approah.

[hrmjustin]

11. Yes! I think she is measured and prepared for the job.

HILLARY 2016

Nuff said

[Dawson Leery]

13. FDR and LBJ knew how to pull the levers to make things happen.

HRC belongs with them, she too can make good things happen.

[Fawke Em]

18. Pish.

She's closer to Eisenhower than to FDR or LBJ.

Republican lite.

[VulgarPoet]

21. She does a better job being a republican than most republicans tbh. eom

[NurseJackie]

15. This is good to know! (And I happen to agree!)

16. I have said for years that I believe Hillary will be a very weak candidate

There are many, many reasons I think this. For one thing, I think she's a poor campaigner. There is a lack of enthusiasm for her. Support for her appears dutiful. What excitement she does generate is about her gender. Her unfavorables are startlingly high. She is the most admired woman in the country but also, undoubtedly, the most disliked woman in the country. You can add to that, her email kerfuffle which will be an issue. There's a to more- the primary is weakening her, for example. I think she could win against Cruz, but I doubt she'd prevail over Trump or Rubio or Kasich.

19. It makes no difference who the democratic party candidate is its all about if the American

People as a whole think Obama and the democratic party deserve to stay in the WH another term.Personalities in Presidential elections is a total myth

[DefenseLawyer]

17. That may be a little like "Dewey Defeats Truman"

If you asked most people in 1948 (including newspaper people obviously) who they thought would win, most thought Dewey would win. As it turns out that did not mean most of them were going to vote for Dewey themselves.

[Sheepshank]

20. I think the Will of the People will decide....

and some will accept it, and many DU Bernie supporters will not.

[jfern]

22. The other 29% had actually looked at a general election poll

[John Poet]

23. I think that the F.B.I. is going to recommend an indictment of Hillary.

When that news gets leaked, regardless of what happens after that,
71% of Democrats will probably think differently about electability.
