Poll As California primary nears, even Sanders supporters are uniting behind Clinton and against a common enemy: Trump
David LauterDavid LauterContact Reporter
Most of Sen. Bernie Sanders' supporters in California say they expect that come November, Hillary Clinton will be elected president and, by and large, they're OK with that.
While both Democratic camps prepare for a final battle in the states June 7 primary, the latest USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times statewide poll found that just over half of Sanders supporters said they expected Clinton to be the next president. About a third of Sanders backers said they expected the Vermont senator to emerge the winner, and 12% said they thought Donald Trump would prevail.
Close to 8 in 10 Sanders supporters said in the survey that they would vote for Clinton in a race against Trump, although many said they would do so reluctantly.
Those findings show the reality underlying the still-heated rhetoric of the Democratic primaries: By contrast with the civil war that divides Republicans, Democrats in the countrys largest state have begun to coalesce behind their front-runner.
In the primary race, Clinton holds a modest lead over Sanders, 45% to 37%, among all Democrats and independent voters eligible to vote. Her lead is slightly larger, 47% to 36%, among those most likely to vote. Either way, thats a significant problem for Sanders............................

(31,170 posts)EVERY SINGLE DEM I know in real life will vote for the nominee.
Hillary will not only have strong Dem support, but lots of Reps too, if Trump manages to come out of the convention as the nominee.
