Hillary Clinton still leads the pack...
THE DEMS – Clinton retains very broad backing for the Democratic nomination, 63 percent, vs. 14 percent for Bernie Sanders and 12 percent for Joe Biden. With Biden out (he hasn’t announced a candidacy), most of his support goes to Clinton, boosting her to 68 percent.
That said, Clinton’s support is less enthusiastic than it might be – 42 percent of her supporters are very enthusiastic about her candidacy. And while 72 percent of leaned Democrats are satisfied with their choice of candidates, that compares with 83 percent at this point in 2007.
Sixty-nine percent of Democrats and Democratic leaning independents call Clinton “about right” ideologically, as opposed to too liberal or too conservative. That falls to 40 percent for Sanders – not because he’s seen as too liberal, but because nearly four in 10 don’t know enough about him to say. Also, despite Sanders’ more liberal image, Clinton wins 64 percent support from liberals.
She also does 19 points better among women than men in support for the nomination, and 15 points better among nonwhites than whites.
