WBZ-UMass Amherst Poll: Trump, Sanders Lead In NH
BOSTON (CBS) - It's been a crazy election so far, and the WBZ/UMass Amherst poll shows it could get crazier in these final days, with 28% of Democrats and a whopping 48% of Republicans saying they might still change their minds before next Tuesday's primary in New Hampshire.
Let's start with the GOP, where businessman Donald Trump is holding onto a substantial lead with 33%, a 19-point margin over Sen. Marco Rubio at 14% and Ohio Gov. John Kasich with ten percent. Right on their heels: Sen. Ted Cruz with nine percent, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at six percent and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with five percent. Dr. Ben Carson and businesswoman Carly Fiorina each have three percent. (The sample of 390 likely GOP primary voters has a 7.1% margin of error.)
For the Democrats, Sen. Bernie Sanders has a 24-point lead over former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, 57-33%. (Sample size: 410 likely Democratic primary voters; 6.6% margin of error.)
These results are consistent with what other polls have been showing in the last few days, but the large number of voters who say they still have an open mind means those rankings could change dramatically.
