In the latest Bloomberg poll, outsider and media pariah Bernie Sanders now leads heiress-apparent Hillary Clinton by one percentage point.
The once favorite has squandered the 54-point lead she had over the democratic socialist from Vermont when she entered the race a year ago.
When past and likely participants in the Democratic nomination race were asked, "Which one of the following Democrats would be your first choice for President?", 49 percent of respondents said Bernie Sanders, 48 percent said Hillary Clinton, and 3 percent were not sure.
