[SaschaHM]

Another day, another great poll. Just released.

I'm guessing the Sanders campaign is rethinking the Vatican trip on Friday. You don't take 2 days off when your opponent is up by 14 points.

1. Nice numbers all recent polls have her up 12-18 points

I expect the numbers to go higher because of his nasty comments

[CrowCityDem]

2. Sure you do...

... since you aren't going to win anyway, you'd might as well enjoy some nice scenery.

[Treant]

3. Take 3 days, they're small.

I'm sure New York will be spun as a state Bernie didn't need to win, and one where he chose not to compete. That'll be after he loses by ten or more points.

[TMontoya]

4. Of course it will

Then GDP will spiral into a frenzy of childish rants about "voter fraud" and disenfranchinsing those "poor independents" who don't have a say in PARTY elections.

[Treant]

5. Compounded with

commentary about "those voters" who vote against their best interests, a dog whistle pitched low enough that even I can hear it.

The night of April 19th through about April 30th or so should be a lot of fun around here as the meltdown reaches Greenland Global Warming pitch.

6. And don't forget...

FRAUD!!!! SUPPRESSION!!!!

[Treant]

7. EXIT POLLS!

Those exit polls only had him losing by 8! How could he have lost by 14?

The logic of huge MoE and the concept of an evangelical candidate will fall on deaf ears. Again.

[mcar]

8. Yes, because no one ever actually voted for HRC, ever

She's such a cheater.

[72DejaVu]

9. NBC is a corporation

so obviously, their poll is a lie.

[Yavin4]

11. But the same poll showing Bernie beating Trump and Cruz

Well, you can believe those.

10. Some statistics from the poll:

Clinton leads Sanders among African Americans (68 percent to 28 percent), those ages 45 and older (66 percent to 30 percent) and women (58 percent to 38 percent).

Sanders, meanwhile, holds the advantage among those younger than 45 (62 percent to 37 percent) and those who describe themselves as "very liberal" (59 percent to 40 percent). The two are running roughly even among men and Latinos.

Geographically, Clinton is ahead of Sanders in New York City (58 percent to 39 percent) and in the suburbs (61 percent to 36 percent), but Sanders holds a one-point lead in Upstate New York (49 percent to 48 percent).

Strikingly, 30 percent of likely Democratic voters who support Sanders say they wouldn't support Clinton in a general election, compared with 15 percent of Clinton voters who say that about Sanders.

12. At this point,...

I'm just writing those off as folks who don't usually vote and people who think that they can blackmail democrats into voting for Bernie.

[BlueMTexpat]

13. Same here. eom

[drowefnp]

14. New York is NOT a must win for Bernie

So says the Sanders camp today. That is quite an about face from last week when BS said from the campaign trail that he had the momentum and quote: "We are going to win New York".


Who wants to place bets on whether he is going to take that trip to the Vatican or will he back out given the polls?

I'M WITH HER....Go Hillary!
