Siena College Poll: HRC leads by 10

52-42

“While Clinton continues to hold a double digit lead over Sanders, the Brooklyn-born Sanders has tightened the
race in the last month over Clinton, the twice-elected former United States Senator from New York. Sanders has
widened his lead among voters under 35 to a whopping 52 points, up from 17 points, while Clinton leads among
voters over 55 by 22 points, although that’s down from a 39-point lead with older voters,” said Siena College
pollster Steven Greenberg. “The younger voters are feeling the ‘Bern’ but the question is will they come out and
vote in large numbers, as older voters historically do?

“While Clinton maintains a commanding 60-31 percent lead among black voters, and extends her lead among
Latino voters to 54-42 percent, Sanders has made it a neck-and-neck race with white voters. Clinton has a narrow
49-46 percent lead, down from 52-35 percent last month,” Greenberg said. “Clinton leads by 18 points with
women and Sanders has a tiny two-point lead with men. Clinton leads by 13 points in New York City and 19
points in the downstate suburbs, however, upstate voters give a tiny two-point edge to Sanders.”

So all those young pups who show up and vote without a party affiliation are shit out of luck.

Plus other polls have her farther ahead.

Dems Overwhelmingly Think Hillary Next President, As Do One-Third of Republicans
“More than two-thirds of Democratic primary voters, including 48 percent of Sanders supporters, think Clinton is
likely to be the next president, compared to only 12 percent who think Sanders will be the next president and 10
percent who think it will be Trump,” Greenberg said. “Among Republican primary voters, 40 percent think
Trump will win the election, while 33 percent think it will be Clinton, with other candidates all in single digits.”
