SANDERS TIED WITH CLINTON, Latest National Quinnipiac Poll, Trump Up 8 Points
- Among Democrats, Clinton Took 44 Percent to Sanders' 42 Percent, As Race Continues to Tighten Ahead of Contests in Nevada and South Carolina -
Donald Trump's lead among Republicans nationally has soared back to double digits, according to the results of the latest Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday, while on the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are locked in a virtual tie.
Trump grabbed 39 percent, up eight points from the previous two weeks, followed by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 19 percent, who remained static. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz dropped four points to third place with 18 percent, with Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 6 percent and no other candidate polling above the margin of error, with 9 percent undecided.
The Manhattan businessman is also perceived as the party's best candidate to win in November, with 77 percent responding that he has a good chance of winning in the general election compared to 61 percent for Rubio and 60 percent for Cruz.
Among Democrats, Clinton took 44 percent to Sanders' 42 percent, as that race continues to tighten ahead of contests in Nevada and South Carolina. The gender gap between both candidates is shrinking, with women supporting Clinton over Sanders 47 percent to 41 percent and men backing Sanders over Clinton 44 percent to 40 percent.
While 83 percent of Democrats said Clinton would have a good chance of winning in November, a smaller share — 69 percent — said the same for Sanders.

He just has to catch her, or pass her in early states, then keep passing her in later states 
He caught her in Iowa, he passed her in New Hampshire, he's on his way to catching her in Nevada, he probably won't catch her in SC, but as time goes on, he'll catch or pass her in more or more states.
