Clinton leads Trump by 2 points in NH--But Sanders Leads by 17 Points
By Mark Hensch
Hillary Clinton would squeak past Donald Trump in New Hampshire if the general presidential election happened today, according to a new poll.
Clinton leads Trump, 42 to 40 percent, in the WBUR survey released Wednesday. Six would percent prefer another candidate while 9 percent do not know or are undecided.
Trump faces a more daunting challenge in New Hampshire if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) ultimately becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.
Sanders leads Trump by 17 points in that scenario, 53 to 36 percent. Four percent would prefer another candidate while 6 percent do not know or are undecided.
Wednesdays results also show that Clinton and Trump are viewed unfavorably by a majority of likely New Hampshire voters.
Clinton and Trump both hold 58-percent unfavorability ratings, pollsters found.
Sanders is the best-liked presidential candidate in New Hampshire, boasting a 55-percent favorability rating.
WBUR surveyed 501 likely voters in New Hampshire from May 12-15. Its survey has a 4.4-percent margin of error.
