"Hillary Clinton may have won the Wisconsin straw poll over the
weekend, but her margin of
victory was much closer than her lead in any
of the national polls.
At the Wisconsin Democratic Party convention on Saturday, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders had an impressive second place showing, finishing with 41 percent of the votes. Clinton won with 49 percent, but failed to get the majority.
Out of the 511 delegate votes, Clinton received 252, while Sanders had 208.
Support for Clinton fell this year after she received 55 percent of the votes at last year’s convention.
