At the Wisconsin Democratic Party convention this weekend, Hillary Clinton gained 49 percent of support in a straw poll vote about the 2016 presidential race — but with 41 percent, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) wasn't far behind.
Though unofficial, the poll could be indicative of how Wisconsin Democrats will vote in the 2016 election and could influence delegates at future conventions. Clinton also won last year's straw poll of Wisconsin Democrats, though she still failed to win a majority of votes at this weekend's event.
