Showing Original Post only (View all)Neck-and-Neck in California as Sanders Virtually Erases 50-Point Deficit [View all]
http://www.commondreams.org/news/2016/05/26/neck-and-neck-california-sanders-virtually-erases-50-point-deficitNew poll shows Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in statistical tie less than two weeks before California's Democratic primary
Less than two weeks before California's critical Democratic primary, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are locked in a dead heat in that state, according to a poll released Wednesday.
The same poll (pdf) shows Sanders outperforming Clinton in a hypothetical match-up against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
The survey, conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC), shows that among Democratic primary likely voters, 46 percent support Clinton and 44 percent support Sanders. Sanders leads Clinton among those who are very liberal (64% to 35%) as well as among younger voters (66% to 27%). Latino voters are slightly more likely to support Clinton (52% to 43%), while white voters are more divided (47% Clinton, 41% Sanders).
(sinp)
As Politico notes, a Sanders victory on June 7 would create "an awkward situation for Clinton, who could be celebrating being dubbed the 'presumptive nominee' even as she loses the nation's largest stateand one of its most diverse."

Clinton up 6 with Whites, 9 with Latinos, and only up 2 in the state? The internals don't compute.

80% of CA is white and Latino. There isn't enough left in the other 20% to get to +2.
