From the Better Business Bureau:

"Point Blank Political is a political advertising agency that has worked on campaigns from the municipal level up to the White House. We've worked with presidential, congressional, gubernatorial campaigns, PACs and ballot clients win on election day."

Doesn't mention being a pollster, but market research, etc.

Two polls same day showing similar results.

Sanders may get all 400 plus delegates unless someone else can get over 15.

With less than a week to go this could be it, 416 delegates would be a massive push.
