Emerson Poll: Sanders Surges Past Clinton In Wisconsin
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) leads former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by eight percentage points in Wisconsin, reversing the six-point advantage that Clinton enjoyed in the state only two weeks ago, according to an Emerson College Polling Society survey released Monday.
The poll shows support for Sanders at 51 percent, with Clinton at 43 percent. This represents a significant shift in the race since the previous Emerson poll taken in mid-March, which showed Clinton at 50 percent to Sanders’ 44 percent.
These results are consistent with the results of most recent polling which has shown Sanders leading in the state, although none have shown him leading by a margin this wide. Other polls have shown Clinton in the lead, however, sometimes by as much as six percentage points.
Tuesday’s primary in Wisconsin will come on the heels of several primary victories for Sanders, albeit in an environment where Clinton still leads most national polls and enjoys a deepening mathematical advantage in apportioned delegates.
