Brand new NBC poll has Clinton +17 with LV in Michigan

[Godhumor]

In the Democratic contest, Clinton leads Sanders among likely primary voters by 17 points, 57 percent to 40 percent. But the race is closer among the larger potential Democratic electorate — Clinton at 52 percent and Sanders at 44 percent.

Clinton is ahead of Sanders among African Americans (76 percent to 21 percent), those ages 45 and older (68 percent to 27 percent), Democrats (63 percent to 33 percent), women (61 percent to 36 percent), men (51 percent to 47 percent) and whites (49 percent to 48 percent).

Sanders, meanwhile, leads among independents (60 percent to 36 percent) and those under 45 years old (61 percent to 39 percent).

1. while these numbers are good for Clinton to win the state

they look bad for the GE where independents and young voters are needed, especially when their is so much enthusiasm on the Republican side

2. Not that GE polling is worth a hill of beans right now, but

Same poll has her with a double digit lead on Trump in Michigan.

And yes, before you look, Bernie had a wider lead than Hillary, but, at this point, all that matters is both our candidates are strong there.

3. Hillary cannot win MI against Trump.

Too many independents and too few Democrats.
