Idaho Politics Weekly: Sanders leads Clinton

Idaho Democrats hold presidential caucuses on March 22. Anyone who didn’t vote in the GOP primary can vote in them.

Jones finds that among all Idahoans, Hillary Clinton has 16 percent support; Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has 40 percent support, 22 percent mentioned someone else, and 22 percent didn’t know.

The key result, of course, is among Idaho Democrats.

A month ago Clinton held a 12-percentage point lead among Democrats.

But that has disappeared, found Jones.

Now, Sanders leads Clinton among Democrats, 47-45 percent.

Political independents, who can vote March 22, really favor Sanders, 42-19 percent, over Clinton
