Brand new Michigan Poll: HRC: 61% Bernie: 33%

“Hillary Clinton continues to lead Bernie Sanders by a large margin (61%-33%) after her victory in the South Carolina Primary. But, with Sanders spending more on ad-buys in Michigan, he has closed the gap by 6% since last week. Clinton still seems poised to win a big victory in Michigan next Tuesday,” he said.

The Republican survey of 679 likely voters has a margin of error of +/- 3.76%. The Democratic survey of 427 voters has a margin of error of +/- 4.74%

Democrats of all ages, and even some newer under-40s and millennials, although those last are not yet in the numbers Bernie has, primarily because of the RW TPs and CTs posted 24/7 here and elsewhere and repeated ad nauseam.

We're all considered niche voters and really don't count ...

And there is also the fact that Sanders will never, ever, even in his fantasies or dreams be Barack Obama. Obama won several of the Super Tuesday states that Sanders lost, so that's one advantages Sanders doesn't have.
