Hillary Clinton maintains a sizable lead over Bernie Sanders in the race for the Democratic nomination — 54 percent to 41 percent — while Donald Trump is a full 20 points ahead of any other Republican candidate.

Trump leads Ted Cruz 44 to 24 percent, followed by John Kasich (12 percent) and Marco Rubio (11 percent). These results are according to the NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll for the week of March 7 through March 13, 2016 among a national sample of 8,840 adults aged 18 and over, including 7,321 who say they are registered to vote.
............

Results from our latest week of polling show that Sanders remains competitive with Clinton among registered Democratic and Democratic-leaning men overall — 46 percent for Sanders and 49 percent for Clinton. The margin among women, however, more decidedly favors Clinton. Women favor Clinton by nearly 20 points — 57 percent to 37 percent.

While Sanders is slightly more favored among white and Hispanic men, black men still favor Clinton by about 50 points. This is similar to Clinton's favorability among black women. Women across all race groups favor Clinton over Sanders, but the margin is smallest among white women — 51 percent to 42 percent. ............

[snooper2]

2. Yes,Go...just .......go

LOL

[Cobalt Violet]

10. and stay gone

[ffr]

13. +1 She's the complete package we need at this time

Bill will make a great first-whatever the term will be, too!

Stay enthusiastic and GOTV!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Polls released on an election day are useless. The only poll that counts is ballot box / machine

Time to make votes really count: using auditable optical scans.

7. How about hand counted paper ballots, with monitoring via internet, available to any who want to

watch?!

[Democat]

4. Good luck to both Sanders and Clinton supporters

I'll be happy to support either over Trump.

[Johnny2X2X]

6. Thanks

I happen to support both. It's an actual fact that Hilary and Bernie agree on about 95% of the major issues and have agreed on 95% of the issues for decades.

She admits she was wrong on Iraq, so they even agree on that too now.

Both would make excellent Presidents, my views align with Bernie slightly more than Hilary, but Hilary I think could get more done.

11. Stop being so sensible, dammit!

Can't you see that by supporting one of them, you really want to see President Trump in office?

[LiberalLovinLug]

12. I think it more like 50% or less

If one puts more weight on who is pulling the strings, who is indebted to the establishment to keep things status quo. Who is more militaristic.

Yes they agree probably 100% on social issues (besides universal healthcare), but the former reasons dictate almost everything else.

But, even if it is a choice between Hillary, (who may be even more right wing corporatist than Obama), and Trump, I cannot for the life of me understand NOT voting Democratic if your pet candidate loses the primary, if it increases the chances of a Trump Presidency. He would set back the country decades. In fact further back than it has ever been. And it would also give a lot of bravado to all the closet brown shirts to push everything further into chaos.

5. Why do you think this is LBN?

It is the same delegate total from Sunday. The poll is from Sunday. Just what is LBN here?

From the OP: These results are according to the NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll for the week of March 7 through March 13, 2016

OS

8. CNN's calling it Super Tuesday 3.

What's the point of calling a voting day super if every voting day is super? They did the same for the Saturday after the first Super Tuesday.

[UpInArms]

9. wow! I wasn't aware that any of the polls were closed

so ....

nvm

[Cavallo]

14. I'm hoping for a bunch of Michigans.

Go Bernie!
