Poll: Clinton Hits 50 Percent Support

Hillary Clinton has hit 50 percent support for the Democratic presidential nomination for the first time since April, around the time she launched her campaign, according to a new national poll.

Clinton’s support among Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters has ticked up 9 points since mid-September, based on the latest NBC News/Survey Monkey online poll.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Clinton’s primary rival in the Democratic race, now stands at 30 percent support in the poll, relatively unchanged over the past six weeks.

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and Harvard Professor Lawrence Lessig took 1 percent apiece in the online poll released Friday.

The survey, conducted on Tuesday and Wednesday, comes on the heels of Vice President Biden’s decision last week to not run for the White House in 2016. (Read more from “Poll: Clinton Hits 50 Percent Support” HERE)
