Hillary Clinton has made up some of the ground she’s lost to her Democratic presidential rivals over the last few weeks.
With 42 percent of support among Democratic voters, Clinton has widened the gap between her and Sen. Bernie Sanders. In the new CNN/ORC national poll, Sanders grabbed 24 percent and Vice President Joe Biden won 22 percent.
In the same poll just weeks prior, Clinton had 37 percent of those polled, followed by Sanders with 24 percent and Biden with 20 percent.
However, if Biden decides not to run, Clinton grabs a 57 percent to 28 percent lead over Sanders. This near 30 point gap is a jump from the prior poll, in which Clinton lead Sanders 48 percent to 32 percent.
But it’s still a drop from the more than 50 percent of the vote Clinton was getting in the same poll back in June and July.
Biden is currently mulling a presidential bid and has not said either way whether he’ll run or not.
The poll of roughly 400 Democrats and independents leaning toward the Democrats was conducted Sept. 17-19, and has a margin of error of plus or minus five percentage points.
