另一项民意调查显示，在定于周六举行的内华达州党团会议之前，伯尼·桑德斯在民主党总统候选人提名竞争中明显领先，这一次，来自佛蒙特州的参议员在全国范围内领先8%。
晨间咨询公司的最新数据调查了2月12日至17日全国近1.6万名民主党初选选民，误差幅度为正负1个百分点。桑德斯是领先者，获得了28%的选民支持，而亿万富翁、前纽约市长迈克·布隆伯格以20%的得票率位居第二。
前副总统乔·拜登以19%的得票率紧随其后，紧随其后的是印第安纳州前南本德市市长皮特·巴蒂吉，得票率为12%。马萨诸塞州的参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦以10%的得票率排在第五位，明尼苏达州的参议员艾米·克洛布查尔仅以6%的得票率排在第六位。
2月18日，内华达州拉斯维加斯，内华达州大学竞选集会后，民主党总统候选人参议员伯尼·桑德斯(佛蒙特州)和他的妻子简·桑德斯参加游行。
对拜登的支持率持续下降，而对彭博的支持率持续上升。过去几周，桑德斯的支持者人数有所增加，晨间咨询公司指出，这位参议员的西班牙裔选民支持度有所上升。桑德斯现在得到了42%的西班牙裔选民的支持，而彭博社仅占20%，远远落后于其他选民。
在内华达州，西班牙人占人口的30%，桑德斯似乎从社区获得了更多的支持。进步数据本周公布的内华达州选民投票显示，桑德斯得到了66%人口的支持，其他民主党竞争者的投票都没有超过一位数。
来自佛蒙特州的参议员仍然是所有民主党竞争者中最受欢迎的。根据晨间咨询公司的调查，74%的受访者看好桑德斯，他比66%的受访者支持的拜登领先8个百分点。值得注意的是，只有61%的被调查者看好彭博。
晨间咨询民调数据与过去一周发布的其他全国性调查一致，这些调查几乎都显示桑德斯是明显的领先者。A华盛顿邮报美国广播公司周三上午发布的民意调查显示，桑德斯领先两位数，拜登位居第二。桑德斯得到了32%受访者的支持，而拜登得到了16%的支持——整整落后16个百分点。布隆伯格紧随拜登之后，为14%。
据报道，桑德斯似乎也是在大选中击败唐纳德·特朗普总统的最佳人选华盛顿邮报/美国广播公司新闻数据。尽管所有民主党候选人都以不同的优势击败了特朗普，但这位来自佛蒙特州的参议员是唯一一位在假设的大选中以53%对42%的优势击败总统的竞争者。
BERNIE SANDERS IS CLEAR DEMOCRATIC FRONTRUNNER AHEAD OF NEVADA CAUCUS IN NEW NATIONAL POLL
Yet another poll shows Bernie Sanders emerging as the clear frontrunner in the Democratic presidential nomination race ahead of the Nevada caucuses scheduled for Saturday, this time showing the senator from Vermont ahead by 8 percent nationwide.
The latest data from Morning Consult surveyed nearly 16,000 Democratic primary voters across the country from February 12 to 17 with a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point. Sanders was the frontrunner with support from 28 percent of voters, while billionaire former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg came in second at 20 percent.
Former Vice President Joe Biden was a close third at 19 percent, followed by former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 12 percent. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts came in fifth at 10 percent, with Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota in sixth place at just 6 percent.
Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (i-Vermont) and his wife Jane Sanders participate in a march after a campaign rally at the University of Nevada on February 18 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Support for Biden has continued to decline, while the percentage of those backing Bloomberg has continued to increase. The number of Sanders backers has grown over the past couple of weeks, with Morning Consult noting that the senator has seen an uptick in support from Hispanic voters. Sanders now has support from 42 percent of Hispanic voters, with Bloomberg a distant second choice among the demographic at just 20 percent.
In Nevada, where Hispanic people make up 30 percent of the population, Sanders appears to be drawing even more support from the community. A poll of Nevada voters released this week by Data for Progress showed Sanders with support from 66 percent of the demographic, with none of the other Democratic contenders polling above single digits.
The senator from Vermont also continues to have the highest favorability of all the Democratic contenders. With 74 percent of respondents viewing Sanders favorably, he is 8 points ahead of Biden, who is favored by 66 percent of respondents, according to Morning Consult. Bloomberg, notably, is only viewed favorably by 61 percent of those surveyed.
The Morning Consult polling data is in line with other national surveys released over the past week, which have nearly all shown Sanders as the clear frontrunner. A Washington Post/ABC News poll released Wednesday morning showed Sanders ahead by double digits, with Biden placing second. Sanders had support from 32 percent of respondents, while Biden was backed by 16 percent of them—a full 16 points behind. Bloomberg was close on Biden's heels at 14 percent.
Sanders also appeared to have the best shot at beating President Donald Trump in the general election, according to the Washington Post/ABC News data. While all the Democratic candidates beat Trump by varying margins, the senator from Vermont was the only contender to beat the president by double digits in a hypothetical general election match-up at 53 percent to 42 percent.
