Pelosi and DWS were on the uncommitted list at the time of the survey. You can take the 125 that were unknown a couple days ago (some have come out now), and you could guess the 30-40 who were not going to say, but obviously were in the Hillary camp.

There have been sources saying for a couple weeks that 40-50 SDs wanted to announce for Hillary, but she was asking them to hold off until June 7. AP surveyed them and let the cat out of the bag early.
