Benchmark Saying That It Will be Closer Than Numbers Suggest Right Now

they predicted Sanders +2 and they are seeing some good signs for Clinton

initial numbers had Sanders up big

As more results come in, we expect the gap to close. Clinton did better in Portland than expected. Rural counties haven't reported much yet.

It looks like this could be a close one after the rural areas come in.

It'll still be a win for Sanders, just a closer one than most expected. A lot closer than I expected.
