Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is the only Democratic presidential contender to beat President Trump in a head-to-head match-up, according to a new Emerson College poll released Wednesday.

Sanders edges out Trump by a 51 percent-49 percent margin in the poll. Meanwhile, Trump leads former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg by 2 points. All those margins are within the poll’s margin of error of 2.7 percentage points.

Trump also leads former Vice President Joe Biden 52 percent-48 percent, an advantage outside the poll’s margin of error.

Sanders level with No-one in the polls.

If it's noone then there is zero chance the DNC gives it to Sanders. In a brokered convention Hillary Clinton has more chance than Bernie.

First Trump, then Gabbard and now Bernie.
The only way to save the Republic is to vote for the DNC and establishment approved candidate - "Creepy Uncle" Joe Biden. Anything else would be treason.

I knew the ruling class would blame Bernie's rise on Russia! :lol:

So predictable!

So apparently those devious Russians are now interfering in favour of Sanders as well as Trump! Just imagine if Sanders wins the nomination; they’ll do their utmost to throw the election to ... wait, which one!? :lol:

Absolutely killing it, too! Has won 47% with around a quarter of votes counted. Biden is second with only 23%.

Biden still leading the polls in South Carolina where he's thrown everything but his poll numbers have been in freefall.

The Babylon Bee can be pretty funny for a right-wing Christian satirical website (who knew that was possible!?), but god they come up with some weird stuff sometimes. It's hard to think of a more hard-working politician than Sanders, so apart from old stereotypes about left-wingers being allergic to work, this is just like ... huh!?

They do have more than just a headline, the articles are actually funny but they do seem to have a set against Bernie ATM
