New PPP Poll has Bernie beating Republicans in NH

I'm posting this because because when Sanders was brought up in the other thread the comment was dismissed by other posters. So here's the actual numbers. Not trying to start a flame war, just trying to be fair and get information out there. People have been concerned with Sanders's ability to beat Republicans in the general election. This might help quell those fears.

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2015/PPP_Release_NH_82615.pdf

Sanders - 46%, Bush - 38%
Sanders - 48%, Rubio - 35%
Sanders - 50%, Trump - 41%
Sanders - 47%, Walker - 39%

Sanders Favorability - 46% Favorable, 36% Unfavorable, 18% Undecided

Also worth noting that Deez Nuts takes 6% in a 3-way match up with Clinton and Trump.

From the article:

Bernie Sanders does an average of 3.5 points better than Clinton in comparable head to head match ups. Sanders does similarly to Clinton against Bush (he leads him by 8 at 46/38, she leads him by 7), and Walker (they both lead him 47/39). Against Trump and Rubio, Sanders actually fares a good deal better than Clinton. He leads Trump by 9 at 50/41, compared to Clinton's 2 point advantage, and he leads Rubio by 13 at 48/35, compared to Clinton's 8 point advantage.

No wonder the DNC/Corporatists/Third Way are floating Biden. You know they know Bernie is doing better than their corporate owned teevee networks are reporting.

Do they FEEL THE BERN yet? They should. We'll make sure they do.

Thanks for posting this, HerbChestnut!


Kickin' for Bernie!
