Brand New ABC -WAPO Nat'l Poll- HRC 60% SBS 34% MOM 3% [View all]

In the Democratic race, Hillary Clinton has maintained a wide lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.). The former secretary of state has the support of 60 percent of registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, compared with 34 percent for Sanders. Former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley remains a distant third with 3 percent.

...

Clinton has continued to rebound from her low point of 42 percent in September, when her support was weakened by questions about her use of a private e-mail account while serving as secretary of state. Her standing has been strengthened by broad likability within the party, with a separate Post-ABC poll earlier this month finding 83 percent of Democrats with a favorable impression of her.
