August 27, 2015 - Biden Runs Better Than Clinton Against Top Republicans, Quinnipiac University Nati

http://www.quinnipiac.edu/news-and-events/quinnipiac-university-poll/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2274

Clinton drops 10%, Sanders gains 5% since July 30.
Clinton tops the Democrats' "no way" list with 11 percent.
Lots more interesting stuff: word clouds, head2heads vs GOP leaders, first word that comes to mind... etc.

Since Biden has no real chance, and isn't likely to run, this is bad for Hillary. morningfog Aug 2015 #4

I mean Colin won 48 to Clinton's 36, with Ross Perot taking 8. Of course Powell never declared.

I was thinking of Perry last time around, Clinton before she announced, Bush before he announced. And you are absolutely right re Colin Powell. I was out of the country for that one but there is a vague shadow in my brain, smile.

Good for Bernie and biden.bad for Hillary.

Hillary is not the most electable dem here.

This poll may further the biden running.

2016 may be 2008 redux with Bernie as obama and 2016 Biden as Edwards without hint of scandal.

The Huffpost Pollster aggregate chart however reveals convincing trends:
