As to Sanders beating Republicans, pollsters routinely over sample Dems vs Republicans.

Socialism is absurd.

Thus, Bernie is absurd.

To advocate socialism requires a large amount of ignorance and a little hatred, resentment, and class envy.

I do not think this poll is total B.S. The country has moved substantially to the left over the past eight years. Particularly younger voters. The ones I run across routinely express support for Socialistic policies.

Add to that the fact that the MSM has managed to thoroughly damage the Republican brand (it comes in somewhere between toxic waste and Ebola in surveys), and the fact that the RINOS will do their best to nominate another loser, and I believe this could happen.

Pollsters need to stop smoking weed before tallying their numbers.

That's likely true, especially when you have a pro-'Rat pollster, which is probably the case in whatever poll(s) this Huff Post writer is citing.

But when he comes up with Sanders beating Walker in a head to head matchup, I'd like to know what percentage of those questioned even know who Sanders and Walker are. My guess is that name recognition nationally is very low for both at this stage of the game. So I'd call the result of this poll meaningless.
