WBUR Poll: Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump; Curt Shilling vs. Elizabeth Warren; And More

Hillary Clinton is walloping Donald Trump in Massachusetts, a new poll from WBUR Wednesday shows, even after the New York businessman and reality TV star swept his fellow Republicans in our early Super Tuesday contest with unprecedented numbers.

That's also despite former governor Bill Weld manning the VP slot on the Libertarian Party ticket alongside Gary Johnson, and Jill Stein, of Lexington, running as the Green Party's presidential candidate.

Overall support for Warren and fellow Mass. Sen. Ed Markey is middle-of-the-road, with 53 percent of voters polled feeling favorable toward Warren, and 40 percent for Markey. Still, better than Clinton or Trump.

Going back to those third-party candidates. One of their biggest roadblocks remains name recognition: 33 percent of those polled said they'd never heard of Stein, while 35 percent said they've never heard of Johnson. Another
