Are there any polls showing a match-up between Sanders and the Rethugs? (Original Post) MoonRiver Jun 2015 OP
Good question, I'm curious. I haven't seen one either, don't know why they aren't doing it. DanTex Jun 2015 #1

If Ted effing Cruz and Carly effing Fiorina get polled as potential matchups, surely Sanders should also.

Bernie is not given the time of day by republicans and the right-wing media. I think, however, that they are in for futureshock!

They match him up against Hillary, every single time. Why not the real competition, the clown car riders?

At this point, though, Senator Sanders is really just getting into the race, and his primary polling numbers aren't really high enough for a comparison against Republican challengers to make much sense. If his polling numbers continue to rise, though, the polling companies will start thinking about that comparison.

Right now, I suspect that he'd not make a good showing, simply because his name recognition with voters in general is still pretty low.
