(22,913 posts)They get reported on air during primary night and sometimes are discussed the morning after a contest, but they are not typically as well preserved and documented as standard public opinion polling. I've had trouble in the past trying to find records of exit polling break downs later of the sort that get aired by the likes of Steve Konacki at MSNBC in real time.
That's why I said it would be good to have polling data more recent than February on this question. There was a short period late in the primary season when Sanders had caught up with or even edged ahead of Hillary (all within the margin of error though) in national polling averages of voter preferences. However in February Hillary was clearly polling stronger than Bernie by that metric. It is a moving target.
