This will be a short diary, but a new national poll is showing Bernie Sanders to be within striking distance of Hillary Clinton.
And on the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton has lost ground to Bernie Sanders — she leads him by just seven points with Joe Biden in the race, and 15 points without the vice president. That's down from Clinton's 34-point lead over Sanders in July and her whopping 60-point lead in June.
With Biden:
Hillary 42
Bernie 35
Biden 17
Without Biden
Hillary 53
Bernie 38
Seems Bernie Sanders has crossed Kos's now infamous 30% benchmark. Or was it 40%? Or 20%? Who knows. Who really cares. Bernie is clearly surging, and will continue to surge. And remember, it's not even October yet.
