A new poll released Wednesday found that a majority of registered Democrats want presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders to stay in the race.
The national survey of 2,001 voters by Morning Consult found that 57 percent of all Democrats polled want Sanders to keep running, while 33 percent want him to drop out. Ten percent have no opinion.
The findings contradict the pressure from prominent Democratic politicians and centrist pundits on Sanders to drop out of the presidential racesome of whom even argue that he's already lostdespite the fact that several states (including delegate-rich California) and U.S. territories have yet to hold their primaries. (Polls also show Sanders and Clinton in a dead heat in California, which votes on June 7.)

(12,821 posts)... and there is still a possibility of him winning the nomination, then it seems to me Sanders supporters would be well within their rights to actually call for Hillary to get out of the way, just as her supporters are constantly calling for Sanders to get out.
Just sayin' -- what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Imagine two Olympic sprinters hurtling down the track toward the finish line, neck-and-neck. Quick: which one should drop out?!?
Imagine one of the runners was always referred to by commentators as the "insurgent" athlete, the one running an "upstart" race... Does that make his opponent more "legitimate" or more worthy of winning?
Fact: Sanders and Clinton are both running, they both get to cross the finish line.
