Key point of DM Poll: HRC's support is more solid

45-42 overall--HRC up 3 from last poll and Bernie up 2--O'Malley down 1:

Selzer said the data suggest Clinton's support is more solid than Sanders'.

The poll shows 83 percent of Clinton’s caucus supporters have made up their minds going into Monday’s vote, up from 69 percent earlier this month.

“That’s huge,” Selzer said. “That’s a number any candidate would like to see.”

Sixty-nine percent of Sanders’ supporters are firmly behind him coming into the caucuses, about the same as earlier this month.

But by all means, celebrate the victory of another right-wing "democrat." The party of FDR this isn't.

The inexperience of the Bernie team and his supporters will likely result in some critical mistakes come Monday night.
