Though the media and political establishment have all but declared Hillary Clinton the official Democratic presidential candidate, new polling on Monday shows that Bernie Sanders continues to fare significantly better when matched against Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.
According to the latest George Washington (GW) University Battleground Poll, Clinton’s lead over Trump has shrunk to 3 percentage points, with her besting the billionaire developer by just 46 to 43 percent nationally. What’s more, the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
The RealClearPolitics average has the former secretary of state with a slightly higher lead (8.5 percent) over Trump.
