(135,425 posts)Democrats also view Clinton as having the best chance of winning the general election, with 78 percent seeing her as the most competitive candidate to take on the Republican nominee, compared to just 19 percent for Sanders.
Even many of Sanders supporters recognize that Clinton has the best chance of winning in November, and that is obviously a key part of her campaign juggernaut, Schaffner concluded.
YouGov interviewed 1,224 respondents who were then matched down to a nationally representative sample of 1,000 American adults. The respondents were matched to a sampling frame on gender, age, race, education, party identification, ideology and political interest. Likely voters are respondents who said that they would definitely or probably vote in their states presidential primary or caucus. Confirmed registered likely voters are those likely voters who the UMass Poll directors were able to match to voter files as active registered voters. The margin of error among Republican likely primary voters is 6.4 percent, and the margin of error among Democratic likely primary voters is 6.0 percent.

Well Schaffner...you are wrong! Where are the hard numbers to support your comment?
Comments like this are laughable because they are clueless how deep his support goes.
Gee, I thought it was going to be another PPP poll paid for by David Brock.

(7,886 posts)That number should be a red enough flag.

(51,698 posts)And 318 likely Republican voters out of that same 1000 (not out of 1224).
How many likely Dem voters should they have gotten out of 1000 in your opinion?

(2,227 posts)Here's my take on the so called bogus online polls. If so may Hillary suporters were online at the time, why didn't they just vote? Bernie was in the 80's across the board. I think those polls mean more at this point because these are different times. I also believe there are far more of us to prove those polls come next November.

Save your sarcasm for when Hillary dispatches of the Vermont independent in the New Hampshire primary, effectively ends the race, and returns him to the hamlet from which he comes.
Before you respond, think, because I always think at least three steps ahead,
