Bernie Sanders catching up to Hillary in California: poll

?quality=90&strip=all&w=1328&h=882&crop=1

Hillary Clinton’s lead over rival Bernie Sanders in California has shrunk to two points, bringing to a screeching halt any momentum she hoped to gain from her 16-point win in New York.

The Fox poll out Friday night showed Sanders surging in the Golden State, where two earlier April polls had him 6 and 12 points behind.

Clinton has the support of 48 percent of those likely to vote in the state’s Democratic primary on June 7, the survey found, while 46 percent favor the Vermont senator.

When they look closely at the two candidates, they'll know Bernie is one of their own.

So if you compare the two latest polls on realclearpolitics, CBS News/YouGov poll from 4/13 - 4/15 with the Fox poll from 4/18 - 4/21, the Hispanic vote has been skewed from Hillary + 23 per cent int the CBS News/YouGov poll, to Sanders + 19 per cent in the Fox poll.

That is a + 42 % change in 3 days..

Common sense says that’s not true.

Go get close in PDs by then he'll likely need over 60%, maybe close to 65%.

An article from the right-wing tabloid, NY Post, citing a Fox News poll, along with a deliberately unflattering picture of Hillary?
