Sanders gains on Clinton, trails by 2 points
Source: CNN
Hillary Clinton holds just a two-point lead over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders nationally in the Democratic presidential race, a new poll shows.
An NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey released Monday has Clinton at 50% support to Sanders' 48% -- down from Clinton's nine-point advantage in the same poll one month ago.
Since more than half of all Democratic voters have already taken part in their states' contests, the national numbers are a limited gauge of where the race stands.
New York is set to hold a key primary on Tuesday, and Clinton is favored by a larger margin there, giving her an opportunity to build her lead among both delegates and in the popular vote.

Love you Bernie!!!!!!!!

(12,228 posts)this would be more of a judgment how nakedly effective it is having all the party machinery GOTV etc. pushing for one candidate and failing. It is critical in this case for there to be pollwatchers because you have to know there are many who would succumb to temptation to do something for the team and for favors spread so fully in one direction. This is a very rigid game here in NY. The digital mysteries will just leave you with unproveable distractions from the actual, physical dumb things pols in the bag do under pressure.

But they did send us all postcards with plenty of notice, so I didn't think anything of it at the time.
I did wonder why though since we've voted at the same place for years and years. I'm sure there will still be some people who won't know where to vote, postcard or not.

(5,141 posts)Which I had to check on line; we usually get a postcard telling us where to go and didn't get it this time round.
On top.of that, we found out today that where there are normally judges in case of any voting inconsistencies in the larger towns/cities in Westchester County (e.g. Yonkers, New Rochelle) there will only be one tomorrow, in White Plains. One judge for a county of nearly one million people with over 500,000 registered voters.
What the actual fuck?
Will report on my precinct after I vote.
I'll also voting for the people who will be Bernie super delegates if they winhope people have that information at their precinct.

(2,398 posts)What a transparent attempt to reset the expectations so Clinton can't lose. Nobody believes that but you. If he loses but keeps it close, people will rightly consider that a victory. I just read something in a news article today quoting a neutral expert who said a seven point loss or less would be considered a win for Sanders.
Nye Bevan
(25,406 posts)That would be amazing, Especially after all those huge rallies.

(751 posts)How can Bernie be down double digits in NY? He lost large Southern States like FL/TX/VA by 20-30%, and the South is largest region in the country. If he is tied nationally or close, he can't possible be down in NY/PA/NJ/MD by double digits as those state polls indicate.
