Is there any polling proof or stastical proof, beyond bluster, to show Sanders can take the lead?

In terms of delegates by time this is all over...

I would love to see a breakdown of the projected delegate count based on actual polls (not just based on hope for momentum).

Anyone have an analysis?

Recent polls show voters accepting the media story that it's all over for Sanders, so we might as well vote for Clinton. This is typical of primary elections, and was expected to happen long ago. Sanders has amazing persistence and endurance to stick with it this long. Considering the media was telling voters Sanders had no chance from day one, it's a minor miracle.

I just don't see the point in voting for a candidate I don't like as much, just because they already have more votes.

... or is it a question of people who think their candidate already lost just not voting at all?

The more delegates Sanders can get, the more we force the platform debate to the left.
