Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton remains the clear national frontrunner in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, according to an NBC/SurveyMonkey poll released Tuesday.
The online poll showed support for Clinton among likely Democratic voters at 51 percent, a lead of 14 percentage points over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who stood at 37 percent. This is a slightly narrower margin than that shown by the previous NBC/SurveyMonkey poll, taken earlier this month, which showed Clinton beating Sanders by 52 percent to 36 percent. Nevertheless, it indicates a stable advantage for Clinton in the national Democratic race which is in stark contrast to the hard-fought contests in Iowa and New Hampshire. In both these early-voting states support for Sanders has surged since December, even as most polling has given Clinton a clear and steady nationwide lead.
The NBC/SurveyMonkey Poll was carried out from Jan. 18-24. Pollsters surveyed 2,780 registered Democratic voters, with a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points.
Did you write this headline in January 2008?
I think that was the same back then, but, then there was actually a solid intellectually challenging young bi-racial man…with a very funny name. You know how to write headlines? Tell me about this in January 2017…admit you wrote this, the first step to recovery from your idiot headlines.
No need to lambaste someone for reported what those polls show.
Thank heavens.
I won’t vote if she isn’t the nominee. I can’t in conscience do that because I don’t think Sanders has any more clues about running a country than Donald Trump does.
You mad, bro?
