When asked to pick between Sanders, Clinton and someone else, 49.2 percent of likely Democratic primary voters opted for the Vermont senator, while 44.9 chose the former secretary of State.

 

None of the participants named a third candidate, but 5.5 percent said they have yet to make up their mind.

 

In the February version of the same poll, Sanders led Clinton 44 percent to 43 percent.

Wisconsin's largest newspaper excoriates Clinton ahead of primary

 

Wisconsin's largest newspaper is excoriating Hillary Clinton's "abysmal record" on open government, advising voters to "think long and hard" about it before voting in the state's primary next week.

 

"Public officials keep secrets because they have something to hide — something they don't want the people they are supposed to be serving to know anything about," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's editorial board wrote in a Wednesday editorial.

 

Concerns raised by a panoply of Clinton scandals over the last two decades "may disqualify her from public office," the paper argued, recounting Clinton's opacity on issues ranging from unreleased tax returns in 1992 to the most recent controversy surrounding her use of a private email server as secretary of state.
