CNN Poll Reveals Troubling Trend For Clinton Campaign

Hillary Clinton won the first Democratic debate, according to a brand new poll out Monday morning.

While a new CNN-ORC survey finds the former secretary of state remains the frontrunner among Democrats after her first debate, her rival Bernie Sanders is the only candidate who saw his support rise.

Clinton has 45 percent support in the race for the Democratic nomination. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders sits behind her at 29 percent and Vice President Joe Biden -- who has yet to formally announce whether or not he'll join the race -- is at 18 percent. That number puts Sanders up about 5 percent since last month.

While Biden did not participate in last week's debate, three other candidates who did join are not seeing significant results, according to the new poll. Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb has one percent support in the latest polling, while former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley have less than one percent.



The poll also brings some tough news for Biden, who has seen a drop in the number of Democrats calling for his entry into the race.
