BERNIE SANDERS DOUBLES HIS LEAD OVER DONALD TRUMP IN HYPOTHETICAL GENERAL ELECTION POLL
(snip)
The latest data, which was drawn from surveys of more than 40,000 registered voters from January 6 to 12, showed Sanders beating Trump by 4 percentage points, up from a previous 2 percent lead, at 46 percent compared to the president's 42 percent. Although Biden still performs slightly better46 percent compared to 41 percent for TrumpMorning Consult noted that Sanders outperformed Biden among independents and young voters, or those 18 to 29 years old.

However, Yokley added that this perspective didn't match its polling results. "Sanders performs better than his rivals, including front-runner Joe Biden, with groups viewed as key to beating the unpopular incumbent."

The Morning Consult data also showed that Sanders continues to have the highest name recognition and favorability among Democratic primary voters. While 71 percent of respondents said they have a favorable opinion of Biden, 76 percent said the same of Sanders. Comparatively, 65 percent viewed Warren favorably, while just 50 percent said the same of Buttigieg. Biden was also viewed unfavorably by 22 percent of prospective Democratic voters, but only 17 percent of them had a negative perception of Sanders.

(3,256 posts)3. This is not a polling lead
This is a "favorability" number -- which means nothing.
There are a lot of people I view favorably but I wouldn't vote for them.

(673 posts)12. Biden
leads by more and has spent the past year being attacked by everyone and having our own government conspiring against him. Bernie hasn't even been glanced at yet.
I'll take the guy who's doing better and has been tested.
