Hillary opens up a TEN POINT lead over Sanders in the latest National Polls!!!!!

http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/poll-clinton-builds-lead-over-sanders-nationally

Hillary 52% Sanders 42%

After Hillary Clinton’s decisive win in New York last week—ending her string of losses—she now has a 10-point lead over Bernie Sanders nationally. Though the margin between the candidates increased only slightly from 9 points last week, the latest numbers show a slow but steady national climb by Clinton over the past three weeks, according to the latest from the NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll.

The Democratic candidates now face off in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic primaries Tuesday in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.

The NBC News|SurveyMonkey poll was conducted online from April 18 to April 24 of 10,707 adults aged 18 and over.

It'll widen even more after today

no path forward.

SurveyMonkey Was The Other Winner Of The U.K. Election



To more than one pundit, last week’s election in the United Kingdom looked like it would be the closest in a generation. But at SurveyMonkey’s Palo Alto, California, headquarters, thousands of miles away, things looked very different: Respondents to an online poll conducted by the Internet survey company from April 30 to May 6 showed the Conservatives, led by Prime Minister David Cameron, as poised for an unexpectedly comprehensive electoral triumph.

For the poll, SurveyMonkey solicited responses from Britons who were taking other surveys — a random sample of 75,000 other U.K. surveys that were using SurveyMonkey’s platform. Eventually, 18,131 Britons told the company how they planned to vote.

This is very different from the methods of most online polling companies, including ones that polled about the U.K. election. Companies typically recruit panels of people who provide their demographic information and agree to be surveyed regularly. For each survey, the typical polling company selects a sample of panelists who roughly represent the electorate, at least demographically. SurveyMonkey didn’t know anything about the people it asked to participate when it asked, other than that they were in Great Britain.3
