In a new McClatchy-Marist poll, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) leads Republican candidate Donald Trump by a landslide margin of 12 percentage points, 53 to 41. In the McClatchy poll, Sanders also leads former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) by a landslide margin of 10 points, 51 to 41.

The huge Sanders advantage over Trump is not new. In the last four match-up polls between them reported by Real Clear Politics, Sanders defeated Trump by margins of 12, 9, 9 and 2 percentage points. The huge Sanders advantage over Bush is new. In previous match-ups, the polling showed Sanders and Bush running virtually even, with Bush holding a 1-point lead over Sanders in most of the polls. Future polls will be needed to test whether the huge Sanders lead over Bush in the McClatchy poll will be repeated in future polling or whether the McClatchy poll is an outlier.
It is shocking that the data suggests that Sanders has a lead over Trump that could be so huge that he would win a landslide victory in the presidential campaign, with margins that would almost certainly lead Democrats to regain control of the Senate and could help Democrats regain control of the House of Representative — if, of course, the three polls that show Sanders beating Trump by 9 to 12 points reflect final voting in the presidential election.
It would be equally shocking if future polling shows that the Sanders lead over Bush remains at landslide margins.
For today, there are two issues these polls present. First, the national reporting of the presidential campaign completely fails to reflect Sanders's strength in a general election, especially against Trump, and against Bush as well.

It does not matter because Bernie is not going to be the dimoKKKRAT nominee.
I see a lot of presidential polls. Any polls this early do not reflect what happens in Nov.

Hahaa. Yes please run that refried brains Communist.
Sure.....riiiiight! No way Sanders is going to be the nominee.

If we’re a Socialist hell-hole, let’s have it out in the open.
When you think John Ellis Bush is a factor in this race, your assumptions are obviously flawed.
I don’t doubt that Bernie could beat Yeb.
Yinz are underestimating the power of Free Sh*t.
Free tuition, loan forgiveness, and increased Social Security benefits would have A LOT of people out voting
for Bernie.
Don’t mean to shock you but I mean, a LOT.
Oh I do believe he would be in a landslide over Yeb.
Obviously, the pollsters did not have the universe location switch set to “This”.
No I don’t take this seriously.
Having said that, if this country was to elect a red-diaper baby such as the Bern over ANY GOP candidate, particularly after two terms of the Obamanation, this country deserves what it gets.
“In a new McClatchy-Marist poll” Them boys have gotten hold of some serious weed or maybe they put a little bath salts in their stash. I would not touch the stuff they are using.
