here is an interesting poll from PRRI Public Religion Research Institute.
The 2016 Democratic Primary

Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton retains a commanding lead over her primary opponents. More than six in ten (62%) Democratic likely primary voters support Clinton’s candidacy, while fewer than three in ten (29%) support Bernie Sanders. Only three percent of likely Democratic voters report that they would like to see Martin O’Malley become the Democratic nominee. Notably, candidate preferences do not differ appreciably between Democratic likely primary voters and Democrats overall.

seems to be solidifying in all of the national polling, regardless of a particular poll's focus. That's the most relevant thing the polls are telling us right now.

Martin O'Malley is simply getting zero traction. Everyone is focused on Hillary and Sanders. I don't think O'Malley's numbers are going to change much at all going forward. The other two candidates are just far more interesting than he is, overall, and the difference between them is dramatic enough that there's no room for a third candidate at this point.

Were I O'Malley, I'd toss in the towel now to save myself from total humiliation. I see no path for his results to rise.

Note: My opinion only.
