As California primary nears, state Democrats are uniting behind Clinton

[SecularMotion]

Most of Sen. Bernie Sanders' supporters in California say they expect that come November, Hillary Clinton will be elected president — and, by and large, they're OK with that.

While both Democratic camps prepare for a final battle in the state’s June 7 primary, the latest USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times statewide poll found that just over half of Sanders’ supporters said they expected Clinton to be the next president. About a third of Sanders’ backers said they expected the Vermont senator to emerge the winner, and 12% said they thought Donald Trump would prevail.

Close to 8 in 10 Sanders supporters said in the survey that they would vote for Clinton in a race against Trump, although many said they would do so reluctantly.

Those findings show the reality underlying the still-heated rhetoric of the Democratic primaries: By contrast with the civil war that divides Republicans, Democrats in the country’s largest state have begun to coalesce behind their front-runner.

1. This is a very realistic assessment by Californians.

K&R!

2. "Are Uniting" implies a trend not claimed in the story...

...which seems more of a snapshot.

Then it calls Clinton's double-digit lead "modest." Seems confused.

It would be more useful to know how the candidate have been gaining/losing ground.

4. There has not been enough polling in CA to establish any kind of trends.

The point the article is making is that most Democrats in CA are fine with Hillary as the nominee.
