Bernie Sanders urged caution Monday against interpreting polls showing him trailing Hillary Clinton in New York. His argument: We've been here before.

"Those are the public polls. The bottom line is, let's look at the real poll tomorrow," the Vermont senator told NBC's "Today." "Generally speaking, polling has underestimated how we do in elections."

Sanders noted that his campaign was down by as many as 25 points in Michigan before it pulled off the upset victory on March 8.

According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls of likely voters in New York's April 19 Democratic primary, Clinton leads Sanders by nearly 13 percentage points, and there's no sign that he's closing the gap.

"The main point is, I think, we have a message that's resonating all over this country," Sanders said. "We have enthusiasm. We have energy. People understand it's too late for establishment politics and economics. They want real change in the country. They want leadership to stand up to the billionaire class. That’s what we are providing."
