Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are neck-and-neck in the latest national poll
It's not over 'til it's over: Bernie Sanders is tied with Hillary Clinton among Democratic voters, according to a new Bloomberg Politics poll.
Of people who have voted or will vote in their state's Democratic primary or caucus, 49 percent reported that they support Sanders, with 48 percent saying they support Clinton. Three percent of respondents were unsure of who had their vote.
In hypothetical matchups with the Republicans, both Clinton and Sanders beat Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. However, against John Kasich only Sanders came out on top; Kasich leads Clinton by 4 points otherwise.
