Poll: In Reversal of Recent Slump, Clinton Picking Up Steam Against Sanders (HILLARY GROUP)

In a reversal of a recent slump, Hillary Clinton rose among Democratic voters in a new CNN/ORC national poll out Monday morning, widening the gap between herself and Bernie Sanders. And if Vice President Joe Biden decides against running for the presidency, her advantage could rise even further.

Clinton picked up 42 percent, with Sanders grabbing 24 percent and Biden, who has not made a decision about running, with 22 percent. Other candidates polled within the margin of error. But if Biden elects not to run, Clinton's lead over Sanders jumps to 57 percent to 28 percent, up from 48 percent to 32 percent in the previous CNN poll.

In that poll, conducted earlier this month, Clinton drew 37 percent to Sanders' 27 percent, while Biden took in 20 percent.

The latest poll comes as the former secretary of state continues a recent blitz of sit-down interviews with national TV networks in an effort to shift the narrative between her campaign and the press....

there were not a significant number of people under 50 years old.

The problem is that the polling for that particular question was focused on REGISTERED Democratic voters, and what that indicates is that there are not a significant number of registered Democrats under 50. It also indicate that there are more registered Democrats that support Hillary, but the Democratic party as a whole better get people registered to vote.

Hope the testimony before Congress goes well, too. It would be nice to see her humiliate that creepy Gowdy.

She didn't disappoint me. She avoided it all together. Her bias became evident to me, and she has every right to do it, but her program became the Trump/Bernie Show, and I'd just had enough. Funny thing is, she talked about the latest CNN poll, and how it affected the Republicans, but never once mentioned that Hillary had expanded her lead over BS.

If Bernie can't get off the ground then Joe will have to jump in because Hillary needs someone to run against.
