Clinton leads Sanders by wide margin
Published November 15, 2015
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Hillary Rodham Clinton is maintaining a substantial lead over Bernie Sanders among Democrats likely to vote in primaries, a poll found.
The New York Times/CBS News poll released Nov. 12 showed Clinton, the former U.S. secretary of state, leading Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, 52 percent to 33 percent.
That shows that the candidates have essentially not budged since a CBS News poll in early October, which showed Clinton leading Sanders 56 percent to 32 percent, within the poll’s six points margin of error.
Trailing both was former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, scoring 5 percent support.
The phone poll canvassed 418 Democratic primary voters across the country from Nov. 6-10.
