Hillary Clinton likewise kicks Trump's ass by a smaller yet still huge 16%.
this may be an indication that leading the party of crazies is much easier than leading in a general election.
2016 -- Conducted July 22-25 2016
Put up the methodology for the poll. All I can find is that they interviewed 898 registered voters.
That's not good enough. I want to know how many interviewed were D's, R's and Indy's.
Otherwise the poll means nothing.
898 RV
230 RV self identified as Republican (25.61%)
254 RV self identified as Democrats (28.28%)
414 RV self identified as Independents (46.10%)
However, for the GOP primary, 189 of the 414 Independents also identified themselves as R-leaning and gave input on the R-nomination stuff.
And for the DEM primary, 138 of the 414 Independents also identified themselves as D-leaning and gave input on the D-nomination stuff.
the remaining 87 independents gave no leaning tendencies and therefore did not give input for either the D or R primary stuff.
If we add the leaners to the Ds and Rs, then:
230 RV self identified as Republican, +189 leaners =419 (46.65%)
254 RV self identified as Democrats + 138 leaners = 392 (43.65%)
87 RV only as Independents without leaners either way (9.70%)
In no way are Democratic RVs overrepresented, to be sure.
And for Clinton and Sanders to be doing this well against three GOP candidates, with this kind of voter SELF identification, can only mean that both Clinton and Sanders are also getting more of the Republican vote than a D usually gets.
