As you can see, Bernie Sanders has held a lead over Hillary for the past 8 days. For the 5-day rolling period ending 3/18, Bernie holds a 2.2% lead over Clinton. Dialing into just 3/18 gives Bernie a slightly bigger lead, but what is more interesting is the people who support the two candidates. Besides age, the major difference is Independents.

What should scare democrats even more than any of the data I shared above is that Trump beats Clinton in the two strongholds for the Democratic party: the West Coast & the North East. According to Reuters polling among registered voters, Trump Wins the Far West by 40% to 29% and the New England region by 7% (though 3/18 shows a 28% win for Trump). Let me repeat that: Trump beats Clinton in the most important Democratic states!

To be honest, I think the data understates Trump’s potential to beat Hillary Clinton in an election. Trump’s primary debate strategy is mudslinging and no candidate has more dirt, than Hillary Clinton. She’s got more scandals and questionable funding than even the Republicans he faced. It’s time for the media to expose this data before Trump becomes the next President of the United States.

And yet for some reason the money being bet on the election says Hillary is 90% to take the nomination, and also that democrats are nearly 3:2 favorites to take the whitehouse.

Either a BS poll, or an arbitrage opportunity.

Maybe for some reason, Reuters is trolling Bloomberg to get him to enter the race.

The author of the link is looking at the margins.
The point is though Hillary losing to Trump is a legitimate risk.

LOL, Hillary's free welfare is for the corporations.
Bernie's welfare is for the people.
That's a yuge difference.
