California Up for Grabs, Poll Finds, as Clinton and Sanders Battle
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/27/us/politics/clinton-sanders-california-poll.html?ref=politics&_r=0LOS ANGELES — Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are locked in a tight race in California, the nation’s most populous state and one that until recently seemed strongly in Mrs. Clinton’s corner, a new statewide poll has found.
The poll, released Wednesday night by the Public Policy Institute of California, showed Mrs. Clinton leading Mr. Sanders among likely voters, 46 percent to 44 percent — within the margin of error. A survey by the organization in March found Mrs. Clinton with a lead of 48 percent to 41 percent over Mr. Sanders.
The survey came as both Mr. Sanders and Mrs. Clinton have stepped up their campaign appearances here in anticipation of the June 7 primary. Mr. Sanders, after initially saying he would not advertise on television here — California is one of the most expensive states for television advertising, given its size and the number of media markets — took to the airwaves this week.
And Mrs. Clinton has quickly responded, with ads set to begin running on Friday in the Los Angeles, Fresno and Sacramento markets: one narrated by the actor Morgan Freeman, another highlighting Mrs. Clinton’s endorsement by the civil rights activist Dolores Huerta. The Clinton campaign will also run Spanish-language ads aimed at Latino voters, and translated commercials in Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese and Korean.
For Mrs. Clinton in particular, the ad buy is a significant reversal: Her campaign had halted its advertising after her decisive victories in the mid-Atlantic states on April 26, aside from a brief return to television in Kentucky
Mr. Sanders’s aides said he intended to spend nearly all his time in California until the June 7 primary, a signal of how much importance he has attached to a victory here as he tries to keep his campaign going through the convention. His rallies have drawn big, enthusiastic crowds in many parts of the state.
Even with a loss in the primary, Mrs. Clinton would almost certainly win enough delegates to capture her party’s nomination. That said, a loss to Mr. Sanders in this state — which she won in 2008 and which Bill Clinton won in the 1992 primaries — would provide a sour and deflating end to her primary campaign.

stories they're reporting on Democrats - just to keep up to date. However, I do need to watch my blood-pressure.
About 95% of what they report is, not surprisingly, from the Republican p.o.v. Even their reports on Trump the Clown is from the Republican Party's p.o.v. since they dislike him with a passion. Watch for the change of reportage when Republicans unite behind this joke of a presidential candidate. It will be gradual but it will happen. Then it's going to be all sweet-talk for Trump the Joke all the way to the last week before the November election.
My daughter was born in San Diego.. I want the Win! My son was born in Philly!
lol! Cha the traveler! Well, my first born son and my third child, my daughter, were born in Arnhem and Almere-Stad, the Netherlands, respectfully, and my middle-child (son) was born in Duarte, California, so I guess we have that in common, too. lol
I saw WI_Dem's post, and also read Koinos' post just below that the PPIC leans Republican, so I'm not all too worried that our gal will win California.
We were living in California and on vacation is Philly when that happened.
our babies all grown up now.
back. I went to high school there (had to learn the language and it wasn't easy!).
I lived there for a few years and met my husband there and had my son there, too. Then he immigrated and came with me to California and we arrived one day after the Los Angeles Olympics had started in '84, and in '86 my second son was born and then my husband got homesick so we went back to the Netherlands where, four years later, my daughter was born. When she was three years old, we returned to California when my sister got really sick (she passed at 30 years old a year to the day later). And we've been here ever since.
And according to the INS laws, all three of my children are natural born Americans and have been Democrats from the moment they had become 18. And yes, they're all grown up and living their own happy lives. 
I'm so happy for you and you international family, BlueCali~
make up our minds which country we'd like to live in. But we decided the U.S. was still the best for our children, and we haven't regretted it since...the last time we came in '95, that is. 
Same to you and your intranational family, Cha!
we're internation, too!
Glad you're in Cali and @ least bi-lingual.
