Bernie Sanders is catching up with Hillary Clinton in California’s Democratic presidential race. A new Field Poll out Friday morning shows Sanders trailing Clinton by 6 points -- 47 percent to 41 percent -- among likely Democratic primary voters. His deficit was 11 points in January.
Another 12 percent are undecided with less than two months to go before California’s June 7 primary.
Field Poll director Mark DiCamillo says the results suggest the Vermont senator’s attacks have hurt the former secretary of state.
"Sanders has been wounding Clinton as this campaign has progressed," DiCamillo says. "Her image rating among Sanders supporters back in January was much more positive than it is now. So Sanders' punches have been connecting."
