Hillary Clinton maintained a solid lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in a national online tracking poll released by NBC News/Survey Monkey on Tuesday.

Clinton earned 51 percent support from Democrats and Democratic leaning voters, while Sanders earned 39 percent support, giving Clinton a 12-point lead. Clinton gained a percentage point from the tracking poll released last week, and Sanders’ support remained the same.

According to TPM’s PollTracker Average, Clinton leads Sanders 50.3 to 37.6 nationwide.

The NBC/Survey Monkey poll surveyed 3,154 registered Democratic voters online Feb. 1-7 with a margin of error plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.

    yeah, but look at the trajectory… steady decline for clinton; steady incline for sanders. imagine, just a month ago she was leading by 20pts (and even higher late in 2015).

  4. @enon. Yes indeed. A picture’s worth a thousand words. The graph for sure provides the most telling commentary here.

  5. Once again, I have a question about the choice of the news you choose to allow readers to see.

    This is a non-story. Let’s see what happens after NH.

    OTOH, yesterday the Director of the FBI CONFIRMED they are investigating Clinton’s server.

    Now she may know someone at the bureau, but one might think it calls into question how she could possibly be 100% certain they will find nothing, particularly given her email instructing her staff to strip the security headings and send stuff non-secure.

    To me, given the political season we are in and the claims she has made, this seems to be reasonably significant news.

    The FBI is not a right-wing conspiracy. It’s a serious issue that we all should be concerned about - whomever you support.

    This was published yesterday

    If I missed it on TPM, I will humbly apologize.
