Field Poll finds Clinton’s California lead down to tiny margin

Hillary Clinton’s lead has withered to the narrowest of margins over Sen. Bernie Sanders in what is shaping up to be a ballot-box barn burner in Tuesday’s California Democratic primary, a new Field Poll showed Thursday.

Forty-five percent of likely primary voters surveyed said they are siding with Clinton, compared with 43 percent for Sanders, according to the poll. That’s down from the former secretary of state’s 11-point lead in the January Field Poll and six-point lead in April. Her lead over Sanders was 73 to 10 percent when the Field organization conducted its first poll for this presidential campaign cycle in February 2015.

Mark DiCamillo, director of the Field Poll, noted that the latest results put Clinton’s lead within the margin of error. “The election is up for grabs,” he said.

It’s the second poll in the past week to show the race in a virtual dead heat. A Public Policy Institute of California survey last week also showed Clinton clinging to a two-point advantage.

Clinton is certain to have more delegates than Sanders after the primary, even if she loses. But a California victory would help Sanders’ argument that he’s more electable than Clinton in a November matchup with presumed Republican nominee Donald Trump.

1. Which means Bernie's waaaay ahead.

I think Bernie's internal polls show him winning BIG. His demeanor lately has been happy and very relaxed.

Go Cali!

Go Bernie!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

2. I surely hope so. I think he must have a Very Good Showing in California. He needs the emotional

momentum going forward regardless the :math:

8. Also CA poll today: our lad beats tRump by 29% - supports theory that he's going to get a huge

chunk of the NPPs in Cali; Clinton beats tRump in same poll by 19%.

Similar Cali poll yesterday had him beating tRump by 34% to Clinton's 24%.

Pattern: Californians are hating Trump and thinking Bernie will wallop him by 10% margin over Clinton.

14. Is this poll based on a non-rigged election process?

15. Well I voted for him by mail-in ballot last week.

The voter website says they received my ballot. He's doing a TON of
rallies here. He's getting good responses but I'm not going to get too
excited because I've been disappointed before. There have been results that
left me scratching my head and depressed. So I'm just kind of holding my
breath...

16. This does not mean BERNIE is winning!

What it means is WE are WINNING!!! DAMN!
