The most recent CNN poll shows self-identifying Democrats — and left-leaning independents — are still siding with Hillary Clinton when it comes to policy.

In the poll — released Monday morning — Clinton handily leads both [crscore]Bernard Sanders[/crscore] and Joe Biden on every single issue, including the economy and foreign relations.

Here’s a quick breakdown of which democratic candidate voters thought most capable of handling specific issues:

ECONOMY: Clinton — 48%, Sanders — 29%, Biden — 13%

HEALTH CARE: Clinton — 52%, Sanders — 26%, Biden — 12 %

RACE RELATIONS: Clinton — 49%, Sanders — 26%, Biden — 11%

CLIMATE CHANGE: Clinton — 43%, Sanders — 29%, Biden — 11%

FOREIGN POLICY: Clinton — 62%, Biden — 20%, Sanders — 9%

GUN POLICY: Clinton — 44%, Biden — 21%, Sanders — 20%

INCOME INEQUALITY: Clinton — 43%, Sanders — 38%, Biden — 11%

It should be noted that unlike Clinton and Sanders, Joe Biden has not officially declared his candidacy and therefore has not presented what his presidential platforms would be.

According to CNN, 47 percent of poll participants wanted Joe Biden to enter the race while 49 percent thought he should not.
