For everybody who is concerned by the recent Quinnipiac polls, look at poll averages

[factfinder_77]

A lot of Sanders and Trump supporters are saying that these recent Quinnipiac swing state polls prove that Secretary Clinton will lose in November because she's a 'weak candidate'. We know that that's not true, but take a look at some polling data. The media generally emphasize polls wherein Trump is winning, for some reason. Let's take a look at a lot of polls in battleground states.

This is Florida (Clinton +4.3): http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/fl/florida_trump_vs_clinton-5635.html

This is Ohio (Clinton +3.0): http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/oh/ohio_trump_vs_clinton-5634.html

This is Pennsylvania (Clinton +7.0): http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/pa/pennsylvania_trump_vs_clinton-5633.html

This is Michigan (Clinton +10.5): http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/mi/michigan_trump_vs_clinton-5533.html

This is North Carolina (Clinton +3.3): http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/nc/north_carolina_trump_vs_clinton-5538.html

This is Wisconsin (Clinton +11.5): http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/wi/wisconsin_trump_vs_clinton-5659.html

This is Georgia (Trump +4.7): http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/ga/georgia_trump_vs_clinton-5741.html

This is Indiana (Trump +7.5): http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/in/indiana_trump_vs_clinton-5878.html

This is Missouri (Trump +7.0): http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/mo/missouri_trump_vs_clinton-5609.html

And here's some national polling (Clinton +5.7): http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html

What we see is that Clinton leads in all of these excepting three red states. The hope is that she can turn them blue. We can expect a post-presumptive nominee boost in polling come June 7, too. This election won't be easy for either side, but Clinton is certainly not a weak candidate and she is the most qualified presidential candidate of the 21st century.

1. Thats scary. And way too close for my liking.

Bernie even flips Georgia. He's the stronger candidate.

[NewImproved Deal]

2. Yes, Sanders is the far stronger candidate. This election will be decided by young people

and Independents--not well-fed, amoral Yuppies...

[factfinder_77]

5. So can you find any GOP attack style anti Sanders adds ?

[bobbobbins01]

9. Is that supposed to make sense?

Because it doesn't.

[uponit7771]

10. I understood it just fine, typical obfuscation and not willing to talk about issues

[bobbobbins01]

12. I'll be happy to talk about it.

Just tell me what it means. I love talking about the issues and welcome it.

[uponit7771]

13. The question was where are the anti Sanders ads that are made like the GOP would make them?

... its relatively rhetorical seeing there aren't any

[DLCWIdem]

15. yet he couldn't win it in the primary because it is too conservative? yeah right

[bobbobbins01]

16. Who said that? Not me.

He's not winning in the primary because of voter suppression.

[SFnomad]

3. Now that you mentioned it, what happened to tRumps post-presumptive nominee boost? Did he get one?

[uponit7771]

11. Yes, plus 4 - 5 and wall to wall coverage of meetings by the MSM

[coffeeAM]

4. Delusional

[reformist2]

6. Didn't our guru Mr. 538 tell us not to pay attention to pre-convention polling???

What are you so worried about?

[factfinder_77]

8. Wasnt John Kerry more qualified, also he ran in 2004.. so thats the 21st century

>she is the most qualified presidential candidate of the 21st century

[LWolf]

14. "We" don't know anything of the sort.

Should the worst happen, and Clinton get the nomination, I don't believe she'll prevail in November.
