2 Point Race Between Sanders and Clinton in NEW National Quinnipiac Poll (44 Clinton - 42 Sanders)

I emphasize NEW because this is the same result that Quinnipiac got in their last national poll (also 44% Clinton to 42% Sanders).

The previous poll was widely thought to be an outlier. Well, now we have two “outliers."

Quinnipiac is the ONLY live phone pollster that has polled the race since Iowa. All other recent national polls are less methodologically reliable robopolls or internet polls. It will be very interesting to see the results from other national live phone polls, if we ever get any!

Sanders leads with white voters 50-38, while among non-white voters Clinton leads 55-30.
Among self-identified Democrats, Clinton leads 47-39, while Sanders leads among self-identified Independents 53-33.
Among voters age 18-44, Sanders leads 58-33, while Clinton leads with voters age 45-64 by 49-24 and with voters age 65+ 61-24.
Voters with College degrees favor Sanders 46-41, while voters without college degrees are supporting Clinton 45-40.
The Democratic gender gap is shrinking as women back Clinton over Sanders 47 - 41 percent while men back Sanders 44 - 40 percent. Clinton would have a good chance of winning in November, 83 percent of Democrats say, compared to 69 percent who say Sanders has a good chance. Looking at key characteristics among Democratic voters:

93 percent say Clinton has the right kind of experience to be president, compared to 74 percent for Sanders;
