A new Monmouth University poll doesn't bode well for Democratic candidate Lincoln Chafee's chances at winning the presidency. In response to a question asking which candidate people would support for the Democratic nomination, a grand total of 0 percent of respondents picked Chafee. In comparison, Hillary Clinton garnered 51 percent and Bernie Sanders came in second with 17 percent. Joe Biden, who isn't even in the race (at least for now), got 13 percent. Only the vote category of "other" did as badly as Chafee.
However, it is worth mentioning the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 5.2 percentage points. So while Chafee wouldn't exactly jump to a commanding lead in the race, he could have the support of more than, well, nobody. There may be hope after all.
