New Emerson MA Poll: Clinton 54% (+8) Sanders 43% (-3)

Clinton Pulls Away in the Bay State
In Massachusetts, a State where Bernie Sanders is hoping for a much-needed Super
Tuesday win, Clinton has broken a 46-all tie that existed just a week ago and built an 11-
point lead, 54% to 43%. She continues to enjoy a large advantage with women (60% to
38%), voters age 55 and up, and those who say the economy is their top concern (57% to
38%).
In the last few days Sander’s 24-point edge
with likely primary voters ages 18-34 has
slipped to 18 points (59% to 41%). His support
among men has likewise eroded, from 24
points to four points (50% to 46%). Similarly, a
28-point advantage among independent voters
is down to 19 points (58% to 39%) in the latest
poll.

Minnesota and Colorado. Still lets say that Bernie wins VT OK, MN & CO--I'm sure they will be narrow wins at best (except for VT). HRC will win big in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama and Massachusetts is looking better and will come out with much more delegates and overall votes.

p.s.
I'm really not predicting that Sanders will win both MN & CO--that's just what I think his best case estimate. I think MN has a better chance of going for Bernie than CO because there are more white voters in MN than CO. If HRC can win 65% of more of the latino vote in CO she should win.

I'm not overly worried about MN or CO--like you said, a split plus or minus a few delegates. VT...well, it's only worth, what, 16 delegates to begin with. OK is not a big prize, either.

Texas and Georgia are the golden rings tomorrow (with Massachusetts and Virginia coming in as silver). Clinton is the projected winner in all four, although I expect MA to be quite close.

While this recent poll is great news and shows she has the momentum--I think HRC wins MA by 5 points, which would be great--because it really is a must win for Bernie.

TX, GA, VA, and places even tolerably well in MA, it's over.

And she will, that's now a foregone conclusion. As I mentioned above, those are the four biggest prizes.
