To me the big issue is campaign finance reform, which there is zero chance Hillary does a thing about it.

National polls are effectively irrelevant right now for two reasons: One...it's February, Romney was ahead of Obama in polls around this time as well. Two, it's the electoral college. Bernie could beat Trump in the popular vote by 5 million votes or more and still lose the election. I just do not see Trump losing any states Romney had, and I think he'll flip Ohio, Michigan and Florida and that takes him to the White House. It sucks, but Trump has the more fierce supporters and the GOP overall is more enthusiastic than the Democrats. I think nominating Ted Cruz would destroy their chances, he's significantly worse than Trump. As I've already said you take out Mexicans and Muslims and Trump is a moderate Republican.
As to finance reform, Bernie isn't doing anything about it either. Republican Congress or Senate Control = Never happening.
