Sanders and Clinton tied in new national poll

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are tied nationally in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, according to a new national Reuters/Ipsos poll released Tuesday afternoon.

Support for the two Democratic candidates is split evenly, with both sides scoring 48 percent of voters with just days to go before a pivotal primary in New York.

The release of the poll follows a McClatchy-Marist survey released last week that showed Sanders slightly ahead of Clinton.

Though the two candidates have been running neck-and-neck nationally for the past two months, according to Reuters, the former secretary of State still holds a significant delegate lead over the senator from Vermont.

Clinton’s advantage is particularly strong among the party’s superdelegates, 469 of whom have pledged to support her, compared with just 31 who are committed to Sanders.

Reuters polled 719 Democratic voters between April 8-12. Voters in New York will head to the polls on April 19.
