The survey, taken Wednesday through Saturday by landline and cellphone, doesn't reflect whatever bounce Biden may get from his solid victory in the South Carolina primary Saturday night.

I was just about to make the same point. The ground in this campaign shifted after the South Carolina results. This poll's conclusion is moot at this point in time.

Biden + Bloomberg = 30

I suspect that is about what Joe is going to get in CA.

And very liberal.

South Carolina. Is 27% black 0% Latino and very moderate according to exit polls.

California and Nevada are near identical except nevada favors Biden more since it is 9% black and 29% Latino and also very liberal.

So the numbers add up and Sanders should have a similar margin of victory in California.

The bump is simply voters realizing Joe can win.

No tv ads bought and his entire staff was in South Carolina do to financial issues. Ad buys closed last week and staff Is very small. If he was flush with cash and Had competitive infrastructure in California and more time he may have gotten a bounce there, but he really should focus on march 10th states if he gets some money from last nights win.

There is a large percent of the Democratic electorate that does not want Bernie. They just need to coalesce about one candidate and that candidate is quickly becoming Joe.
