New Marist Poll: Sanders leads Clinton 49-47 nationally

Among Democrats and Democratic leaning Independents.

http://maristpoll.marist.edu/46-sanders-and-clinton-competitive-nationally-will-the-party-unify/

Bernie leads Hillary 2 to 1 among Democrats and Democratic leading Independents age 45 and under. Hillary's strategy of condescending to young people is going over really well.

“The difference between support for Sanders and Clinton is generational,” says Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. “Other distinctions blur when you account for a voter’s age.”

I'm happy to not be with my generation on this.

spot. It's a tactic to highjack OPs.

Most Americans don't trust Clinton and do trust Sanders.
