It's been that way in a number of polls except the divide is getting bigger.

Those are brutal numbers for Hillary.

If that keeps up, Sanders will distance himself from her in matchup polls and the electability argument is over.

But we've been seeing that with independents for a long time. I don't know if anyone has a list of states that have independents that can vote in the primary. My guess is that Bernie would be starting to poll in those states pretty well.
