- CBS, NYT Poll: Sanders 51, Trump 38; Clinton Lead Over Trump Narrows 47-41, released May 19, taken May 13-17.

Hillary’s support among Democratic primary voters went from 50% to 51% since the April poll and Bernie’s support remained steady at 44%.

The hypothetical head to head general election matchups.

Clinton 47%

Trump 41%

and

Sanders 51%

Trump 38%

Hillary’s lead over Trump went from 10 points in April to 6 points now. (Bernie’s lead over Trump grew). About half of Democrats said the party was united, the other half saying it was divided.

Notably a healthy majority of Democrats said that a “long race for the nomination will help the Democrats in November”. So those Democrats calling for Bernie to halt his campaign would seem to be a noisy minority.
