Poll: Bernie Sanders takes lead over Hillary Clinton in Massachusetts primary

http://www.boston.com/news/politics/2016/02/17/poll-bernie-sanders-takes-lead-over-hillary-clinton-massachusetts-primary/xD3x195gEONEJXORpjInZM/story.html


Bernie Sanders was the favored candidate of 49 percent of likely Democratic voters surveyed in Massachusetts, seven percentage points ahead of Hillary Clinton at 42 percent. About three-quarters of those polled said they are “firmly committed” to their decision.

t’s quite a shift from the last poll of primary voters in the Bay State. Back in November, Clinton dominated Sanders by 25 percentage points in a poll from Suffolk University.

The PPP results show that African-American Democratic primary voters in Massachusetts actually favor Sanders by a 62 to 35 percent margin. But PPP’s Tom Jensen said that was a small sample of about 30 people, and advised not to take too much away from it.

I wanted to say to Tom maybe your small sample should have been bigger.
