Latest from Suffolk/USA Today
Shows 50-40 race for Clinton among Democrats (30% of registered voters)
Clinton leads Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders 50 percent to 40 percent among Democrats and Democratic leaning-voters, with 10 percent still undecided. This is a significant change from a Suffolk University/USA TODAY poll taken two months ago, when Clinton led Sanders by 27 points (56 percent to 29 percent).
But Sanders once again looks better with entire universe (including 43% that are Independent) of US voters is included.
Sanders fares slightly better against the four Republican frontrunners in hypothetical matchups—all well within the margin of error. Sanders (44 percent) leads Cruz (42 percent) but lags behind Rubio, 46 percent to Sanders’ 42 percent; Kasich 44 percent to 41 percent; and Trump 44 percent to 43 percent.
“Bernie Sanders is closing the Democratic primary gap and is stronger than Hillary Clinton in the general election,” said Paleologos. “On the Republican side, John Kasich's strong second-place showing has made him more appealing in the general election than Marco Rubio, who faltered in the Republican debate leading up to New Hampshire. Donald Trump continues to gain and is within the margin of error against both Sanders and Clinton in the general election."

BERNIE’S BLUE OCEAN POLITICAL STRATEGY
Independents will hold the key to the presidency, and while Hillary has been ahead among Democrats independents have never seem to get behind her. Her favorable rating have been underwater for a while.
More from Daily Caller:
Clinton and Trump both have deeply negative net favorability ratings. Clinton is at -17 and Trump is at -25, and close to 95 percent of voters say they are set in their judgment. Sanders’s rating, by contrast, stands at +9 and nearly 20 percent of voters say they haven’t heard enough about him to decide one way or the other.

Updates: Notice that even if the the entirety of the 20% who don’t know enough about Sanders to have an opinion universally hate him (trends seem to indicate the more people know about Sanders the more they like him) he’d still (@ -11) have a better “favorable” than HRC.
Lest you start freaking out about both candidates loosing to GOP candidates. First note these are well within margin of error virtual ties. Then refer back to Polling trends from March of 2008 :
Notice here as the Dem race got very negative, with HRC questioning Obama’s electability, McCain appeared to be ahead for a about 3 weeks before come back to earth.
