Start spreading the news...the end of the Democratic primary is near.
Clinton leads Sanders 56%-38% in New York, according to a new Emerson College poll. Don't worry about this opening line, however, as their last poll was clearly an outlier. This margin is about what wed expect when looking at all the polls.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has gained significant ground on Hillary Clinton in the upcoming New York primary, shaving off 30 points from the massive lead Clinton held in New York just three weeks ago. He now trails the former Secretary of State by 18 points (56% to 38%). In a March 17 ECPS poll, conducted in the days following Clintons decisive performance on Super Tuesday II, she was winning by 48 points (71% to 23%) among Democratic primary voters in New York.
Just to be crystal clear: Bernie did not gain thirty points in three weeks. This is the only poll showing such a wild, absurd swing. A 48-point win would be fantastic, of course, but an 18-point margin would be just as deadly to Bernie's remaining nomination chances.
Furthermore, there's some data in here that suggests Clinton's solid lead isn't going anywhere.

(31,170 posts)3. Thanks...Only 23% listed their top priority as dissatisfaction with government
and Bernie's only leading demographic was young voters. Both of those elements work in Hillary's favor.
I would have liked to have seen the numbers for each age bracket, but all in all that was great news.

I'll be so glad to see Bernie head back to the Senate where he belongs (for however much longer it may last.)

(6,444 posts)8. Stronger Loyalty too!
However, Clinton commands higher loyalty: 76% compared to 50% for Sanders.
To recap: strong support across various demographics, much higher loyalty, and a gender gap that may be getting even more extreme after the whole "unqualified" fiasco.

Hope it's a trend because Hillary needs to big win in NY to stop Sanders' momentum.
