After his platform victories, Sanders endorsed presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton Tuesday in New Hampshire and committed to campaigning for his former rival. Among registered voters, Clinton got 40 percent support, compared to 33 percent for Trump, 10 percent for Johnson and 4 percent for Stein. Twelve percent of respondents said they won’t vote for any of the candidates, won’t vote at all or are still unsure of how they will vote.

Among likely voters, the error margin was plus or minus 4.5 points. “While there is no definite link between Clinton’s drop in Florida and the U.S. Justice Department decision not to prosecute her for her handling of emails, she has lost ground to Trump on questions which measure moral standards and honesty”.
