Poll: Clinton Holds 25-Point National Lead Over Sanders

[RandySF]

Hillary Clinton leads rival Bernie Sanders by 25 points nationally ahead of Sunday's final Democratic debate and the all-important Iowa caucuses, according to the latest results from the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Clinton is the first choice of 59 percent of Democratic primary voters, while Sanders gets the support of 34 percent. Martin O'Malley gets 2 percent.

Those numbers don't differ greatly from December, when the poll showed Clinton with a 19-point national advantage over Sanders, 56 percent to 37 percent.

But Clinton's current 25-point lead contrasts with other recent national polling, including a New York Times/CBS survey, which found Clinton with just a seven-point advantage.

1. Enough with the BS polls already.

2. 'Cut it out.'

3. Soooo...

the Iowa and NH polls are all BS too?

[Fawke Em]

6. No. State polls are more reflective because that's how we vote.

We don't vote nationally.

8. Indeed we don't

Which means if Clinton is behind Sanders in NH and IA, she must be that much more ahead in the other 48 States.

10. If Hillary wins you can go ahead, congratulate the GOP, because

they will win the white house.

4. Meaningless

5. Thanks for the updates, sounds great.

7. 25 points plus vs. 7 points plus - (different polls)....

Is one of these polls failing to capture homes with only cell phones?

9. That brought her rolling RCP average up to 12.7

It actually is an improvement for her over the last NBC/WSJ poll giving her a 6 pt bump in that series.
