12. From a pollster that does it right (includes unaffiliated)

Wait for the next Rutgers-Eagleton Poll. They include unaffiliated, and are therefore more accurate. From the poll they did last month:

On the Democratic side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to lead Vermont
Sen. Bernie Sanders for the nomination but – for the first time – only by single digits, 51 percent (down four points) to 42 percent (up 10 points). Democratic-leaning independents appear to be fueling Sanders’ momentum, with just over half of this group choosing the Vermont senator. Confirmed Democrats, on the other hand, firmly support Clinton, at 57 percent.

“The preferences of unaffiliated voters could be an important factor in the primary,” said
Koning. “New Jerseyans who have not yet declared a party affiliation may do so at the polls on primary day, and those who want to switch parties could have done so up until just a few days ago.”
