Morning Plum: Among Democrats, Hillary leads Bernie and Biden on all the issues
By Greg Sargent October 19 at 9:25 AM
...............The poll finds Clinton leading Sanders and Biden among self-described Democratic voters and Dem-leaning independent voters: she has 45 percent; Sanders has 29 percent; and Biden has 18 percent. Take Biden out of the equation and Clinton leads Sanders by 56-33. Heres the breakdown on the issues:
48 percent of self-described Democrats trust Clinton most to handle the economy, while 29 percent trust Sanders and 13 percent trust Biden.
52 percent of self-described Democrats trust Clinton most to handle health care, while 26 percent trust Sanders and 12 percent trust Biden.
49 percent of self-described Democrats trust Clinton most to handle race relations, while 26 percent trust Sanders and 11 percent trust Biden.
43 percent of self-described Democrats trust Clinton most to handle climate change, while 29 percent trust Sanders and 11 percent trust Biden.
62 percent percent of self-described Democrats trust Clinton most to handle foreign policy, while 20 percent trust Biden and nine percent trust Sanders
44 percent of self-described Democrats trust Clinton most to handle gun policy, while 21 percent trust Biden and 20 percent trust Sanders.
43 percent of self-described Democrats trust Clinton most to handle income inequality, while 38 percent trust Sanders and 11 percent trust Biden.
Clinton holds large leads over Biden on all of these issues. ...............
Its also notable that Clinton leads Sanders on the economy and income inequality (though on this one issue hes much closer to her), given that the core of Sanders challenge is that his agenda to combat inequality is significantly more robust than hers, and more in sync with the scale of the structural economic challenges we face. (When it comes to taking on Wall Street, Paul Krugman has argued that Clinton actually has the better case to make than Sanders does.)

(11,366 posts)Bernie's BASE (not all of his support) are young people and disenfranchised voters who "likely" have either never voted or haven't voted in a while.
The real test will be if those Millennials show up to caucus and vote.
I have a meeting (not just me, but the Tennessee teams) with upper level Sanders operatives over the weekend and I plan to ask about their plans for informing new voters that Bernie is running against Hillary FIRST before there is any Dem v. GOP election, how they plan to educate them on caucusing and how to get the out to vote on primary days.
