Sanders and OMalley seen as less electableMonmouth University Poll
In case that steady drumbeat was beginning to annoy you, too...
Sanders and OMalley have officially announced their candidacies, but most Democrats feel they wouldnt have as much of a chance as Clinton in defeating the eventual Republican nominee next year.
In fact, 6-in-10 Democratic voters say that Sanders (59%) and OMalley (60%) would have a worse chance than Clinton in the general election. Only about 1-in-4 say Sanders would have either as good a shot (15%) or better (13%) than Clinton. And a similar number say OMalley would have either as good a shot (15%) or better (8%).

I see those percentage numbers remaining steady throughout 2016.
HRC will be an Outstanding leader for this ailing Nation, and her high polling numbers will increase the odds for enough coattail wins in the Senate & perhaps a few will increase in the House, to give Clinton the support she needs to move past the current gridlock.
We are most fortunate for her dedication to our America.
