Disgruntled Wisconsin Democrats put Socialist Bernie Sanders within reach of toppling Hillary Clinton in a straw poll this weekend.
Hillary gained only 252 of 511 delegates while Sanders picked up 208 in the Democratic poll.
Bayou Buzz reported:
Democratic Party of Wisconsin conventioneers backed Hillary Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination next year, while Bernie Sanders finished a strong second, according to a WisPolitics.com straw poll.
Meanwhile, Sen. Kathleen Vinehout of Alma was favored in the 2018 Democratic gubernatorial primary straw poll.
Clinton drew support from 252 of the 511 delegates, alternates and registered guests who voted in the straw poll. Sanders was backed by 208, while Vice President Joe Biden and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley tied for a distant third with 16.
Hillary’s approval ratings continued to slide this week. Fewer Americans believe the former First Lady is trustworthy.
