Bernie overtakes Hillary in Wisconsin!
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/270764-sanders-overtakes-clinton-in-wisconsin-pollDemocratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has overtaken primary rival Hillary Clinton to hold a slight edge in Wisconsin, according to a Marquette Law School poll released on Thursday.
The poll, which comes after a Democratic primary debate in Milwaukee this month, has Sanders narrowly leading Clinton by 44 percent to 43 percent, well inside the survey's margin of error.
The Vermont senator trailed Clinton by a 9-point margin in Wisconsin, 50–41 percent, in November.
The poll also finds Sanders matching up better than Clinton against top Republicans in hypothetical general election races in the Badger State.
Sanders defeats GOP primary front-runner Donald Trump by 20 points, 54–34 percent, while Clinton only wins by 10 points, 47–37 percent.
He also defeats Ted Cruz by an 18-point margin, 53–35, while Clinton ties the Texas senator, 43–43.
Wisconsin is Feeling the Bern!
