CNN poll: Post-debate, voters move to Clinton

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton maintains a commanding lead in a new CNN/ORC poll, boosted by broader support in the days after the latest debate between the remaining three Democratic presidential candidates.

Overall, Clinton tops Sanders among registered voters who are Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents 50% to 34%. That's a slightly tighter margin than in late-November, when Clinton led 58% to 30% over Sanders.

But those overall results mask a shift back toward Clinton following the Democratic debate on Saturday night. In interviews conducted before the debate, Sanders ran closer to Clinton, with 37% support to Clinton's 45%. Among those interviewed after the debate, Clinton's lead grew to 60% vs. Sanders' 27%.

10. She benefited from her

foreign policy discussion.....agree or disagree with the goals of the U.S., she is certainly the most well-versed...plus, taking on Trump directly ....reworked that video accusation a bit, but is still out there after Trump on his ridiculous comments about women....degrading is the right word....

[Helen Borg]

11. If she benefited from anything...

It was due to the attempted DNC ambush. But that will bite her in the end.
