Surprise: Clinton falls in new poll after Biden departure

[Geee]

Washington Examiner:

While Hillary Clinton was expected to increase her lead in the Democratic primary after Vice President Joe Biden decided not to run, a new poll says support for Clinton actually fell slightly since Biden's departure, and that many of Biden's supporters instead turned to former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.

 

Clinton still has a healthy lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders, 52-33, according to a new New York Times/CBS poll released Thursday. But that's actually a narrower margin than in mid-October, when she led Sanders 56-32 at a time when Biden was still flirting with a run, and was picking up some support in the polls.

 

Before Biden opted out, he was picking up as much as 10 to 15 percent in some polls. The NYT/CBS poll from October indicated that support was closer to 4 percent.
