1. A poll is not a study
2. This is a poll of democrats and democratic leaning voters it does not account for the largest group of voters who are independents (and who may have registered to vote for Sanders)
3. A poll is only a picture in a single point in time ....
4. His name is Sanders
5. You seem to forget there is a consistent 33 percent of Sanders' supporters who won't vote Ms. Clinton

But they polled voters and Sanders has had trouble turning large rallies into voters.

For whatever jokes you want to make, Clinton is pretty clearly doing more to get her voters out, which really cuts the the legs out from under your point.

Sanders turns out big crowds at rallies, but hasn't turned out enough voters. Clinton has a strong base of support that turns out to vote.

attend a campaign rally in person. My youngest son attended the Obama rally in 2012 at his college (UNLV) and was one of the first ones in line and stood in the front row beside the President. I guess I'm too old to be a groupie, but can be just as enthusiastic from the comfort of my living room. Obama got my check in person as did Hillary, and that's all that counts.

I just saw this same "poll" in another thread. I'll say it again...Who you gonna believe Gallup or your own lying eyes. Are the Hillary supporters really this desperate?

Teenagers have zero interest in sex and would much rather work on homework assignments than be online.

It is safe to say this polling service has galloped the shark.
