FOX Business Network Poll: Sanders Tops Clinton by Five in Wisconsin

Bernie Sanders is ahead of Hillary Clinton by a 48-43 percent margin in the race for the Democratic nomination in Wisconsin. That’s according to a new FOX Business Network Poll of Wisconsin likely Democratic primary voters.

Sanders owes his advantage -- which is within the poll’s margin of error -- to young voters and men. The Vermont senator leads Clinton by a whopping 47 points among voters under age 45 (69-22 percent). And he’s up by 19 points among men (55-36 percent).

"Age is a significantly more powerful driver of the vote than gender among Wisconsin Democrats and this dynamic is what is fueling Sanders' edge," says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducted the FOX Business Network Poll along with Democratic pollster Chris Anderson. "When you're the front-runner and you can barely draw one out of five younger voters, you've got problems."

The poll, released Thursday, finds Clinton is ahead of Sanders among women by 47-44 percent. However, women under age 45 break for Sanders by 66-28
