Clinton, judged winner of debate, holds big national lead over Sanders
- 9 years ago
Aided by her performance in the first Democratic debate, Hillary Rodham Clinton has regained much of the ground she lost during a summer of controversy and holds a dominating lead nationally over Sen. Bernie Sanders in the contest for her party's presidential nomination, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Vice President Biden, who has yet to announce whether he will join the Democratic race in the coming days or weeks, runs third amid signs of slippage over the past month.
On Thursday, Clinton will testify before the House committee that is investigating the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11 and 12, 2012, which led to the deaths of four Americans.
None of the other candidates included in the poll - former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley, former senator Jim Webb of Virginia or former Rhode Island senator and governor Lincoln Chafee - registered more than 2 percent.
