The best performing candidate despite a year of non-stop attacks from Republicans and "Democrats".

2. Any idea what the margin of error is on these?

The link doesn't say for this question.

My overall reaction: this is way too close, if accurate, for every candidate listed.

5. What's important is that in almost every GE poll, Biden does best. And it's been that way

since he announced (maybe before).

8. Well, we all have our ideas about what's important

+5 on Trump, given the number of undecideds in that poll and how far from November we are, is hardly a slam-dunk.

Mostly what I see is that turnout will be the key

6. Those numbers do not necessarily reflect what is happening in the swing

states where the election will be won or lost. National polls reflect overwhelming support in California, New York State and other populous liberal strongholds. But it might be a lot closer in some swing states.

9. A larger national lead than in 2016 may be needed.

It could occur that the nominee lead by a larger margin and still lose electoral college.

12. Biden does best in the swing states...they won't elect a socialist.

13. That may be and if so that's fine. My point was that national numbers are less

relevant than swing state numbers.

14. Probably so as Clinton won the popular vote but lost the EC...in WI, MI and PA...

Biden can take those states IMHO.

16. I hope that whoever our nominee is can take those states.

I thought we had those states in the bag last time but it wasn't to be, probably because we did not take into account Russian interference in the election. And with Moscow Mitch vetoing election security measures sent over from the House I'm afraid it might happen again.

17. Don't forget Jill Stein...enough voted for her to have made Hillary the winner in each of those

states. And if we don't win those states, we are going to lose the general and God help us...so much damage has already been done. I am convinced they cheated in order to win...in Michigan...enough votes were tossed out in Detroit to have given Hillary a win. And in PA ,the numbers coming out of rural districts without poll watchers were ridiculous. I don't know much about Wisconsin but with a crooked governor and voter suppression, I am sure it was not on the up and up.

11. A MSNBC guest just said that Sanders only has 8% more vote for 18- 35 than Biden...that Biden

and that Biden is whacking Sanders and all the candidates in terms of the AA vote. I thought he had a huuuuuuuuuuuuge advantage over Biden but he doesn't.
