Trump leads both former Vice President Joe Biden, and Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren in the state by a margin of 51-49%, according to Emerson Polling.

Biden leads in the national polling average for the Democratic presidential nomination, according to the RealClearPolitics. However, Warren has been gaining momentum in recent months, and several recent polls show her leading in the early primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire. The senator took center stage at Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate, and was given the most speaking time by CNN and New York Time moderators.
