Polls Show Hillary Clinton Expanding Lead in Fight for Democratic Nomination Prior to 2nd debate

Hillary Clinton’s lead in the Democratic primary is expanding. The past month has been filled with polls that show Clinton in commanding lead, pulling away both in early primary states and nationally. Propelled by a widely-praised performance in the first Democratic debate and her strong appearance before Trey Gowdy’s Benghazi Committee, Clinton’s favorability has jumped 14 points since the beginning of October.

Polls released the past two weeks paint a pretty clear picture: Hillary Clinton has had a really good month, and the momentum is clearly on her side. Voters from South Carolina to Texas to New Hampshire to Iowa agree: they want Hillary Clinton to be the next President of the United States.
