Today's Quinnipiac national poll (Sanders 42%, Clinton 44% -- Sanders +9% favorable, Clinton -17%

unfavorable -- only Sanders beats Cruz, Clinton ties -- only Clinton loses to Rubio, Sanders ties -- Sanders beats Trump by 10%, twice the margin for Clinton vs. Trump).

Here is a link; here is a graph showing where today's Quinnipiac national poll fits within the trend of all other national live phone polling:



This is a national poll so it is shouldn't be seen as predictive, but it is a very good report card for the Sanders campaign, and it suggests that Clinton is not making much progress in her favorabilty rating problem or her head-to-head weakness.

I think it was a bit of a fluke. I really don't think Bernie has jumped that far, that fast. He'll get there, and even farther, but there are going to be polls in between now and then that aren't that favorable for him. If we do get more polls backing that one up, great, but I'm not going to stress out of if the next one out goes back to adding another 5 points to the spread.

If he really has gotten there already, I think that just shows that a lot of folks were 'voting Hillary' simply because they didn't think he could get nominated, and think he's got a shot now.

That's impressive enough to hit even 538 right between the eyes.

I had the impression that Q was more on the mark than most others. It will be interesting to see if their model continues to do so well.
