According to a new poll, a plurality of Democratic voters believe Sen. Bernie Sanders now has the best chance of beating President Donald Trump in November.
Surveyed after Sander’s victory in Nevada, 34% of Democratic likely voters in the latest Morning Consult Survey concluded the Vermont senator is the best candidate to face Trump.
Coming behind Sanders in terms of electability against the president is former New York City Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg at 23%, while former Vice President Joe Biden finished third at 17%.

Sanders’ physical and mental health cannot make him the front runner. In fact, he will not be a runner altogether because of his criminal record. (See him turn red and mad if you’ll talk about March 2016 and other times.)
What’s pummeling financial markets this week?
Fears about the spread of coronavirus, to be sure. But a chorus of analysts also thinks concerns about Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders winning the Democratic presidential nomination — and possibly even the presidency — are also contributing to jitters.
“The risk to US stocks is pretty significant if Bernie gets the nomination,” said Ed Moya, senior market analyst with OANDA. “I think there is concern that in some of these battleground states Bernie is beating Trump. If he does maintain that momentum, it would be very concerning to Wall Street.”
Of course, “concerning” Wall Street is precisely what Sanders is after. Last June, the longtime Democratic Socialist put it this way in a tweet:
@BernieSanders
The cat is out of the bag. The corporate wing of the Democratic Party is publicly “anybody but Bernie.” They know our progressive agenda of Medicare for All, breaking up big banks, taking on drug companies and raising wages is the real threat to the billionaire class. https://twitter.com/politico/status/1141281982418247682 …
Centrists are coming around to Elizabeth Warren as an alternative to Bernie Sandershttps://politi.co/2XlRlxE
Sanders also intends to end exports of coal, natural gas and crude oil, institute a wealth tax, and many more things that make the powers that be very uncomfortable.
who in their right mind will vote for this Communist
Who would vote for a DemocRAT Socialist/Communist??? The same morons who voted for Obama!! There are a lot of stupid people out there.
Based on their track record in 2016 the polls are surely reliable. After all they mostly projected Hillary as the winner. Oops.
Not to mention that there are nine months till the election. Anything can happen. Don’t count your chickens untill they hatch.
