Polls: Bernie Sanders is closing in on Hillary Clinton in California

Bernie Sanders is quickly closing Hillary Clinton's lead in California, suggesting he could win the biggest prize in the Democratic race on the same day that Clinton officially seals her grip on the nomination.

Clinton led in California by double-digits for months, but at least three recent polls have shown Sanders cutting her lead to just 2 points. On Thursday, a demographic model built by political scientist Alan Abramowitz has Clinton up by a similarly narrow 2-point margin.

Some have argued that a win in California would give Sanders not just a symbolic victory, but also bargaining power for elevating his position at the convention. And maybe Voorhees is right that winning California could make some Sanders supporters feel emboldened to continue fighting after the vote is over.

At least Clinton herself seems to think the results from the the state really do matter. She and Bill have scheduled a 30-event dash across the state in the final days of the campaign, according to the LA Times. If nothing else, the LA Times says, winning California will deprive Trump of one line of attack against Clinton.

1. still doesn't matter, hillary wins the nomination hours before the polls even close in california

consider the effort and money bernie as spent in california, anything less than 30-40% margin of win over hillary pretty much a wasted effort as hillary still wins ALL the metrics

btw....sanders has ZERO chance for 30-40% margin....more millions wasted by the sanders campaign on top of the $200 million they alreay wasted to lose big to hillary
