Where do you live and what do you think will happen

As I wrote in another thread, politics here are complex, and Sanders isn't playing the game successfully.

4. Btw Siena has it 52-42 but they have her winning the suburbs by 19 and the city by 12.

Those numbers seem off.

5. Interesting. I'm using the 2008 primary as the baseline.

2008 was a better predictor for Wisconsin than the polls.

But an 8 point victory is still a back breaker for Sanders, so 10-14 is just fine.

8. I'm guessing there is a certain amount of herding happening

Easiest way to not deal with the complicated NY rules is to build off what other firms are doing.

I think Clinton by 10-20% is a reasonable range for outcomes.

9. I have trouble seeing how he massively underperforms Obama

with black voters but over performs Obama overall by 7-10 points nevertheless.

I also wonder if there are people who ID as registered Democrats but actually aren't.

In the 2008 primary about 10% of exit poll respondents ID'd as independents.

8% wouldn't surprise me. Neither would 21%.

3. Not a NYER. I think Clinton will win.

But I do think the race will be closer than some predictions.
Take that for what it's worth. Lol I'm not good at the prediction game.

and they may yet fail it. Putting a fearful trust in a fear-based system is an easy thing to do, but hard to live with - as we're learning every day.
