The trouble for Sanders is, Wisconsin is the kind of state he wins -- mostly white and independents could participate in the open primary. New York is a more diverse state, and has a closed primary -- and thats to Clintons advantage. Plus, its been her home state more recently than Sanders.
The poll shows Clinton tops Sanders by 53-37 percent among NY likely Democratic primary voters. Another nine percent are uncommitted.
Clintons clearly the pick among women (61-30 percent) and non-whites (56-37 percent).

Paul Krugman APRIL 8, 2016
From the beginning, many and probably most liberal policy wonks were skeptical about Bernie Sanders. On many major issues including the signature issues of his campaign, especially financial reform he seemed to go for easy slogans over hard thinking. And his political theory of change, his waving away of limits, seemed utterly unrealistic.
Mr. Sanders is starting to sound like his worst followers. Bernie is becoming a Bernie Bro.
But recent attacks on Mrs. Clinton as a tool of the fossil fuel industry are just plain dishonest, and speak of a campaign that has lost its ethical moorings.

An apology by Dawson to Huerta would be a sign of respect and a signal towards healing if she does so.
Dawson could have picked up the phone to call Dolores Huerta regarding differences in political opinions, but instead she chose to be used as a tool for the Bernie Sanders campaign in writing an open scathing letter.
