Clinton vs Sanders fight will be tough, polls suggest

Clinton also polled well on issues like immigration, race relations and women’s issues: 61 percent said they trusted Clinton more to handle women’s issues, 39 percent said they trusted her most on immigration and 44 percent said they thought she was best equipped to improve race relations. In the most critical blue states, Latinos make up a significant share of those millennial voters who supported Sanders in Iowa and New Hampshire. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) have climbed from single digits to 19 percent and 17 percent respectively. She also trailed GOP front-runner Donald Trump by 2 points, 45 percent to 43 percent, and she trailed Sen.

According to a campaign aide, the TV spot is hitting the Nevada airwaves Thursday ahead of the state’s caucuses on Saturday.

Respondents were split over whether Clinton or Sanders “best represents the values of Democrats”, though 56 percent believed Clinton had the best chance of winning the general election in November compared to Sanders’ 40 percent.

Over the past week, Clinton has picked up the endorsements of 87 more party insiders known as superdelegates, according to a new Associated Press survey.

The polls showed Clinton leading in 10 of the 12 states, most of which are in the South, with a double-digit lead in nine of them. The state – which will hold its Democratic and Republican caucuses on February 20 and 23, respectively – has become a critical battleground, as the presidential race remains volatile on both sides.

Sanders’ rise in Nevada is likely bolstered in part by his success in early contests, his recent focus on systemic racism and criminal justice reform and his enthusiastic support from younger white voters. The poll has a margin of error of 3.3 percentage points. In a national Quinnipiac University survey released on Wednesday, Clinton led Sanders 55% to % among nonwhites, far outpacing her % to 42% edge overall.

The PPP results show that African-American Democratic primary voters in MA actually favor Sanders by a 62 to 35 percent margin.

Clinton has been pushing her immigration agenda in Nevada as her campaign scrambles to prevent a loss to Sen.

As for the Democratic primary, “Virginia Democrats continue to be hesitant about Clinton”, Kidd said.
