Massachusetts voters head to the polls on March 1.

The survey revealed that Bay Staters trust Clinton over Sanders on who would be a good commander-in-chief, and on race relations, immigration and women's issues.

Public Policy Polling says Clinton is still ahead in 10 of the 12 early March primaries, whereas Sanders only leads in Vermont and Massachusetts for now.
