Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s lead over rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has shrunk to just two points, according to a NBC News/WSJ national poll released Monday.

Clinton had 50 percent support and Sanders had 48 percent support among the Democratic primary voters surveyed. Clinton had a nine point lead over Sanders in last month’s NBC/WSJ poll, 53 percent to 44 percent.

The poll comes in the midst of a winning streak for Sanders in a string of caucus and primaries. Clinton and Sanders will next face for the New York primary on Tuesday, with the former secretary of state favored to win.

The survey was conducted from April 10-14 among 339 Democratic primary voters. The margin of error was 5.3 percentage points.
