In a Democratic field that has winnowed to just three candidates, Hillary Clinton has regained a dominant lead over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, topping him by a 28-point margin, her widest in CNN/ORC polling since July.
Clinton leads Sanders 58% to 30%, with former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley registering just 2%, according to a CNN/ORC Poll released Friday.
The poll finds Clinton widely seen as better able to handle matters of foreign policy than Sanders, an advantage that has likely helped the former secretary of state as global affairs and national security have gained prominence in the presidential campaign. Broad majorities of Democratic voters report that they trust Clinton most on foreign policy (74%) and handling ISIS (59%), and as best able to handle the responsibilities that come with being commander-in-chief (64%).
While Clinton tops Sanders as better able to handle economic issues (58% to 31%), the two are about even when voters are asked who would do the most to help the middle class (47% say Clinton would, 44% Sanders).

look at page 13, the 18-34 year old group is so small it can not be measured scientifically ,65 plus is the biggest group
look at page 8,he has doubled his support since june even with his base support being way under sampled
so it is far from all bad news

(11,619 posts)Very shortly Sanders folk will post a poll that absolutely claims to prove Sanders is Surging and Clinton is receding.
And then another poll will show Clinton is ahead nation wide.
And a poll will show that Sanders is winning in the critical state of Vermont.
And...
And...
And...
I will be so glad when the voting starts.
Then we can argue about delegate counts, and individual state polls that prove something or nothing or everything.
