Brand Spanking New Monmouth University Nat'l Poll-HRC-59% SBS 26% MOM 4%

[DemocratSinceBirth]

West Long Branch, NJ – Hillary Clinton’s substantial lead over Bernie Sanders in the latest
national Monmouth University Poll is basically unchanged from October. Most Democrats and
Democratic-leaning voters would be satisfied with Clinton as the nominee, even if they are not currently
supporting her in the party contest.
Clinton currently has the support of 59% of Democrats nationwide, which is similar to the 57%
support she held in October right after the first debate. Sanders gets 26% support, which is basically
unchanged from his 24% support two months ago. Martin O’Malley has 4% support, up from 1%.
“Clinton successfully ran the gauntlet this fall, appearing before the Benghazi Committee and
outlasting the specter of a Biden candidacy. She really hasn’t lost ground since then,” said Patrick
Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, NJ.

ROBUST CELL PHONE-LANDLINE METHODOLOGY


The Monmouth University Poll was sponsored and conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute from December
10 to 13, 2015 with a national random sample of 1,006 adults age 18 and older. This includes 654 contacted by a live
interviewer on a landline telephone and 352 contacted by a live interviewer on a cell phone, in English. Monmouth is
responsible for all aspects of the survey design, data weighting and analysis. Final sample is weighted for region, age,
education, gender and race based on US Census information. Data collection support provided by Braun Research (field) and
SSI (RDD sample). The results in this poll release are based on a subsample of 374 registered voters who identify themselves
as Democrats or lean toward the Democratic Party. For results based on this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that
the error attributable to sampling has a maximum margin of plus or minus 5.1 percentage points (unadjusted for sample
design). Sampling error can be larger for sub-groups (see table below). In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind
that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion
polls.

23. Not really. Total people polled across all spectrums was 1006

374 were asked questions specific to the Democratic nomination.

Most pollsters that poll both sides of the race do the same to maximize bang for the buck.
