Via Politico:
The Democratic race has dramatically tightened, according to a new Quinnipiac University national poll out Friday that shows Hillary Clinton with a razor-thin lead over Bernie Sanders.
Clinton leads Sanders 44 percent to 42 percent, well within the margin of error of the poll, which was conducted after the Iowa caucuses.
Monday’s contest in Iowa ended in a virtual tie, though the election was officially called for the former secretary of state.
The picture of a neck-and-neck race is a huge change from Quinnipiac’s last national poll conducted Dec. 16-20 that showed Clinton with a massive lead over Sanders, 61 percent to 30 percent. It’s not clear yet whether other post-Iowa polls will also show Sanders surging ahead and catching up to Clinton.
On the GOP side, one in three Republicans are for Donald Trump, but Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio are catching up.
The survey finds Trump with 31 percent nationally, Cruz with 22 percent and Rubio with 19 percent. No other candidate polls in the double digits: Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has 6 percent, the rest are at or below 3 percent and 9 percent of those polled are still undecided.
