HRC coming on strong in WVA poll: Sanders 47% (-10) HRC: 43% (+14)
In the Democratic presidential race, 47 percent of likely Democratic voters backed Sanders, 43 percent said they supported Hillary Clinton, former U.S. Secretary of State, and 11 percent were not sure.
Sanders’ strength is among people between the ages of 18 and 34.
“The key, of course, for Sanders is a high turnout with young voters, while Clinton’s support is generally older, those with a college degree or post-graduate degree and upper income Democrats,” Repass said.
The poll numbers included registered party members along with unaffiliated voters most likely to choose a particular party’s ballot. The sample size was 315 for Democrats and 228 for Republicans, Repass Research officials said, with an overall statistical error size of +/-4.0 percentage points.
Back in February, in a much more crowded Republican presidential field, Trump still lead the way with 40 percent in the poll. Kasich finished 5th behind Cruz, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) and Dr. Ben Carson.
Three months ago, the MetroNews West Virginia Poll showed a much larger difference between Sanders, 57 percent, and Clinton, 29 percent, with 14 percent not sure.

I remember how the Bernie folks touted the February WVA poll showing Bernie up by 28 points in WVA... so I'm touting this poll showing him falling like a rock in the state in a poll by the same pollster.

Thus....Hillary is getting some new votes so this we can move on to the GE and fully focus on the *true* threat. Trump. 
Mr BlueMTexpat is a WVA native and we usually visit the state annually. 
The typical "Bernie base" is not much in evidence there. There is a lot of "state capture" where polluting industries hold sway. It is a state that is difficult for Dems generally, especially liberal Dems. But there are good people there nonetheless and at least some of them remember Bill Clinton fondly, which is another plus in Hillary's favor.
Keeping fingers crossed. All she has to do is to get close and this poll is an encouraging one!
I wonder if THIS will help the Bernie campaign wake up and come out of their dream.
