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.

  1. Gee, from this photo, I could easily be convinced that Hillary is every bit the genocidal maniac that are dubya, cheney, biden and Obama. She’s wearing the face of desperation and fear, at the least. Her claims to being a genocidal maniac are already well established.

  2. I don’t think that phrase means what you think it means. Is Sanders “in the middle of” a winning streak? There is no evidence to suggest that.

  3. DOOOOOOOOMED!!!

    Vince Foster will have his revenge!

  4. Yes, I think that was the same mic she used to order the military to stand down in Benghazi.

  5. Well…if there’s a way to lose this election the Democrats will take that option. Sanders is OK but he can’t beat Cruz and he’ll have a tough time with Trump. The GOP and media will give him a pummeling unlike any we’ve seen since they did it to Gore.
