84. Bernie Sanders is trailing Hillary Clinton by 18 points

...in the latest CNN poll, and by 18 points in a CNN poll in mid-August. That's better than he did in earlier CNN polls.

There was an early September CNN poll which showed him trailing Hillary Clinton by only 10 points; it was an outlier. We shouldn't conclude a downward trajectory because of one poll in early September which said the race was closer than other polls by CNN and other organizations.
