Clinton up by 17 in Virginia

PPP has her up +22 (just a couple of days ago)
Christopher Newport University +12

I see that Bernie folks are touting something called "Overtime Politics" which has a poll showing Bernie within 3 in Virginia. That poll came out on Feb 16--but was it added to the poll of polls on realclearpolitics? No, because apparently they don't feel it is a valid organization. I should mention, too, that they had a few days prior to that a poll showing Hillary up by 6 in Massachusetts--and I wanted to use it to counter that PPP poll showing Bernie up by 7 in Massachusetts, but after reading about them I decided not to as I figured if realclearpolitics and other organizations don't believe in them--why should I?
