These polls are getting beyond meaningless and downright illogical. For instance from US News,
Quote:
A national NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday showed Clinton widening her lead nationwide over Sanders, 51%-34%. Other recent polls have shown Clinton with a narrower lead.

But in hypothetical head-to-heads in the general election, Sanders fared better against Republican Donald Trump in the NBC poll than Clinton did, though both were ahead. He led Trump by 15 points; she led Trump by 10 points.
So Clinton leads Sanders by 15% yet he can beat Trump by a wider margin? If Hillary has such a commanding lead nationally, why is she so worried that she has Bill campaigning for her in Iowa? Last I heard everyone is enamored with Bill but not with Hillary.
