Two New National Polls Today Show Clinton's Lead Shrinking: Down to 7 Points!

Hillary Clinton's lead over Democratic presidential rival Bernie Sanders has narrowed, according to the latest national polls released Tuesday.

Clinton is favored to beat Sanders by 7 points, 49 to 42 percent, among registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents in the ABC News/Washington Post poll.


That's the closest margin ever between the pair in the poll, which recorded a 52-point lead for Clinton, 68 to 16 percent, last July. It's also the first time Clinton has slipped below 50 percent from Democratic-leaning voters.

And it is going to be very gratifying to see MSM eat dirt.

We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. So anything can happen like her getting arrested.

that Bernie had made a concession speech after Super Tuesday and was going to focus on the Republicans and using his money to bring more voters into the fold for Hillary in the general election.
