V0te 2-16 Latest Democratic Poll
WASHINGTON (AP) Hillary Clinton could be the nation’s first female president. Bernie Sanders warns of the role of super PACs in politics.
While the two themes have become a big part of their primary contest, Americans view the issues very differently.
A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds that 19 percent of Americans say they would be more likely to vote for a presidential candidate if the person is a woman while 64 percent say a candidate’s gender has no bearing on their decision.
And in a sign of Sanders’ powerful message, the poll finds that 46 percent say they’re more likely to vote for a candidate who doesn’t want outside groups supporting his or her campaign. Thirty-eight percent says it makes no difference to voters.
