Hillary Clinton is once again the candidate most liked by Democrats. [Gallup]

Hillary Clinton is once again the candidate most liked by Democrats. [Gallup]



by Andrew Dugan and Frank Newport

Hillary Clinton has reclaimed her position as the best-liked presidential candidate among Democrats and independents who lean Democratic, a sign that her candidacy is recovering a key advantage she recently surrendered to rival Bernie Sanders. Clinton's net favorable score stands at +55 for the week of Feb. 18-24, 2016, a 10-percentage-point increase from her low point recorded over Jan. 27-Feb.10. This latter time period overlapped with her landslide loss to Sanders in the New Hampshire primary. Sanders' net favorable over the past week, by contrast, stands at +44, well below Clinton's score and a steep fall from the +57 he boasted in late January/early February.

Net Favorable Ratings of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders Among Democrats/Leaners

These results come from Gallup Daily tracking of the images of main presidential candidates, which began in July 2015. The Feb. 18-24 results mark the first time that Gallup is reporting the data using one-week rather than two-week rolling averages.........................

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are positioned to solidify their status as presidential front-runners in Virginia when Republicans and Democrats cast ballots in the state's primary on Tuesday.

Clinton leads Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic nomination race by 20 points in the swing state. Among Republican presidential candidates, Trump is ahead of his nearest opponent, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, by 13 points in the latest poll of almost 1,200 voters released Sunday by CBS News/YouGov.

Registered voters in Virginia may vote in either primary (but not both), meaning the state's Super Tuesday nominating contests could serve as a proxy for the November general election. Virginia has no official party registration. Polls are open from 6 a.m. 7 p.m. around the state, and a photo ID is required to cast a ballot.

.........................

Clinton and Sanders will battle for the largest share of 95 delegates.
