Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton's lead in the Democratic presidential primary race has grown -- and if Vice President Joe Biden decides to stay out of the race, her numbers would rise even higher, a new CNN/ORC poll shows.
Clinton is backed by 42% of Democratic primary voters nationally, compared to 24% for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, 22% for Biden and 1% for former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.
That's a marked improvement over an early September CNN/ORC poll that found Clinton leading Sanders, 37% to 27%, with Biden at 20%.
And Biden's support comes almost entirely from Clinton's camp. Without the vice president in the race, Clinton's numbers climb by 15 percentage points, while Sanders' increase by only 4 points -- giving Clinton a nearly 2-to-1 lead at 57% to 28%, with O'Malley moving up to 2%.
While Clinton has led national polls, she has been found trailing in New Hampshire and at times in Iowa -- two key early voting states. And her downward trend nationally -- amid questions about her use of a private email server during her tenure as President Barack Obama's secretary of state -- has fueled speculation of a late Biden entry, and provided the vice president with an opening even as he grieves the death of his son Beau Biden.
Biden is still mulling a potential bid.

If Biden is in, Hillary is in jail.
Biden is more likely the turd in the punch bowl rather than the fly in the ointment....
They didn’t poll anyone under 50 years old??? See pg 7 of the poll:

Bernie will end “climate change” by shaking his fist at the clouds.
Soon, the weather will be “equal” like us and will be a constant 59 degrees 24/7/365
Hey what if this is true? It came from CNN so it’s probably a lie.
OMG!! You found it!!! No poll taken on any one under 50 years of age .PAGE 7!!!!!! You can’t make this up!!
LOL!!!! or snickers in the pool! Hahaha.
I see that the media is already on a quest to save Hillary from herself.
He can go back to his little white state!
Ahem! It’s the *Green Mountain* state, to be exact. Humph!;D
The state is 97% white.
I can see Hillary getting a POTUS pardon from Baraq in Jan 2017 in exchange for a hundred mil $$ going to the Baraq Obama Foundation.
Have a good trip.
