13. Some stats from the NBC poll:
Sun Apr 24, 2016, 01:26 PM
Apr 2016

Clinton leads among African Americans (67 percent to 29 percent), those ages 45 and older (66 percent to 28 percent), women (62 percent to 34 percent), self-identified Democrats (60 percent to 36 percent) and those strongly supporting a candidate (59 percent to 41 percent).

Sanders holds the edge among those who are under 45 (60 percent to 37 percent), those who are "very liberal" (58 percent to 41 percent), independents (55 percent to 39 percent) and men (49 percent to 45 percent).

And per the CBS Poll:

This points to a closer race than in neighboring New York, where Clinton won by 16 points, but her underlying strengths with certain groups remain. While Sanders wins “very liberal” voters by 25 points, Clinton wins other liberals and moderates, who make up the majority of the state’s likely Democratic voters. Clinton also maintains a 30-point edge among non-white voters and significant advantages among key groups like older voters and women. Like the New York primary, Pennsylvania is a "closed primary", meaning only voters registered with the Democratic Party can participate in the Democratic primary election. This benefits Clinton, who does poorly with independent voters.
