LA Times California Poll: Hillary Stays +11 among likely voters matching Field poll from

A new poll from LA TImes shows a stable race in the Golden State. In December Field found the same +11 Clinton advantage

When Bernie Sanders' followers were asked about November prospects:

While both Democratic camps prepare for a final battle in the state’s June 7 primary, the latest USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times statewide poll 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...........

This is from the article "El Mito" cited.

So that link of yours is a load of misinfo. El Mito should apply for a job at People's View. Blue Nation Review, and Daily News Bin.

Dem2, go to the Huff link and look for "Source", then click on "USC/LA Times" which takes you to this link:

http://www.gqrr.com/articles/2016/3/25/new-university-of-southern-california-dornsife-college-of-letters-arts-and-scienceslos-angeles-times-poll

Then scroll down to "KEY FINDINGS" and click on "USC Dornsife/LA Time s Topline Results"

which takes you to this pdf:

https://gqrr.app.box.com/s/v75gw0x5crbafafmsrkvvfs8oqdheyyk

Scroll down to the bottom of page four. It's the same as the numbers in the graph I posted above...which is from the LA Times.

Am I missing something?? WTH is going on?

I noticed the table said Registered Voters, the Huffpo poll shows Likely Voters.

At the bottom of Page 4 of the pdf it reads:

Q.32 (REGISTERED DEMOCRATS OR LIKELY DTS/NPP DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY VOTERS) Now, thinking about the Democratic primary election for president in June, if the election for president was held today, would you vote for Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, or another candidate?


That's where the numbers are.

If you look at the crosstabs here: https://gqrr.app.box.com/s/k000yvcmq0flmf56jw26vkm4mm52az3g

You'll see on page 6 results for RV and LV, that's where the discrepancy creeps in.

I see the November Likely is a 10 point spread, not 11, with the "Total" showing the 8 point spread. Odd. And then there's the graph I posted which is from the article itself.

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, that’s a significant problem for Sanders............................
