Exclusive: Presidential hopefuls Sanders, Clinton in dead heat - Reuters/Ipsos poll

Clinton leads Sanders 48 percent to 45 percent among Democratic voters, according to the poll of 512 Americans, conducted Feb. 2-5 following the Iowa caucus. The poll has a credibility interval of 5 percentage points.

Democrats had been supporting Clinton by more than a 2-to-1 margin at the beginning of the year. Sanders has narrowed that lead considerably over the past several weeks.

There is still a wide gap between the two in name recognition nationally. Nearly a quarter of Democrats and two-fifths of Independents say they are still not that familiar with Sanders. In comparison, Clinton has almost total name recognition among voters.


There's still room to grow!!!! ~25% still not familiar with Bernie, versus total name recognition for Hill!!!!

1. He'll never break 10%. He'll never break 20%. He'll top out at 30%.

Funny, he doesn't seem to keep getting stuck where Clinton fans thought.

Don't worry, though, I'm sure he'll top out by 60-70%.

2. !

Indeed!

I was pretty excited by the Q poll yesterday now I can be excited and relax a bit since there is another. Movement is in the right direction and movement is strong and fast. This is what we have been expecting, there have been no real plateaus just slower points of time when his movement was always up and hers down.

3. And, he'll drop out before New Hampshire!

4. Cause after all, his support is 'shallow'.

Yeah, funny that. I'm sure we'll have the same old PUMA holdouts after he gets the nomination that we saw in 08.

5. That's great news, but it needs to be confirmed with some larger polls.

The margin of error has to be fairly large on that small a sample.
