DAVIS, Calif. — A trio of widely-respected polls released this week have found the Democratic primary closing to a 2-point race, with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s advantage over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) narrowed by her dipping favorable rating and his rising support from independents.
The latest and most closely watched of the three “live caller” polls — i.e., those that rely on human interviewers to get results instead of robocalls — was the Field Poll that dropped on Wednesday night. (Polls that use automated callers find a larger Clinton lead.) Among all voters, Clinton led Sanders by a 45-43 margin. Among registered Democrats and the quarter of voters who had cast ballots already, Clinton led by 9 points, by small margins with white and Latino voters, and by 2-1 margin with black voters.
But Sanders enjoyed a 54-27 lead with “no party preference” voters, who can request a Democratic ballot. By a 20-point margin, his voters described themselves as more enthusiastic than Clinton’s supporters. And Sanders, who has kept up a relentless schedule in California, is viewed positively by 76 percent of primary voters; Clinton is viewed favorably by 64 percent. For the full article click here
