what you posted doesn't refute the OP, because what you posted and what the OP posted are 2 very different things. You can insist that the difference doesn't mean anything or that what you posted somehow relates to the OP, but that would be like arguing 2 plus 2 equals 37.
Again, I don't think Sanders will be the nominee and, like you, I haven't seen much in the way of Sanders vs. GOP (one exception: http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/latest-national-poll-shows-bernie-sanders-beating-scott-walker-donald-trump-jeb-bush).
But you're bringing up unrelated issues. My only point was that what you posted didn't refute (or even relate to) the OP, because it didn't. Objectively-speaking, they are 2 very different things.

Hillary only down 9pts from Jan. and 26 pts ahead of Sanders should be the headline.

Great news! Especially considering Bernie gets virtually no MSM coverage whatsoever.
