Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is holding on to her lead in New York, leading rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) by 10 points in a new poll released just days ahead of the state’s critical primary Tuesday.

Clinton leads Sanders 53 percent to 43 percent, according to a CBS News Battleground Tracker poll.

..................

That poll of 2,050 registered voters, conducted April 13–15, has a margin of error of 3.3 percentage points.

In California, another big contest for the Democrats, Clinton leads Sanders 52 percent to 40 percent.

1. K&R.....

[LS_Editor]

2. Here comes Hillary Goldwater.

[PatrynXX]

4. too far off for Cali

NY as expected although Bernie is from NY, Hillary's from Arkansas not that it matters and it shouldn't. But yeah Bernie was totally accurate when he said if he did win NY then the race is done. Either way getting on DU less and less. Looking for a better place for free speech.

[BumRushDaShow]

6. "Hillary's from Arkansas"

You mean "Bill" is from Arkansas. Hillary was born in Chicago and raised in the 'burbs of Chicago .

[Skittles]

16. for many people here, Hillary and Bill are one and the same person

[MADem]

19. And she was elected 2x to the Senate from NY where she still owns a home. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

23. Plus

She has been a resident there for 16 years and Bernie was a resident there for 18 years before he left for good.

[rtracey]

43. totally agree

totally agree. DU has become BU.... and there is ZERO room for anyone who is NOT an ultra-left winger

[GreydeeThos]

3. +1

[Earth_First]

5. She's done a great job covering all her bases...

So well in fact, that she's covered EVERY issue from a variety of positions! #whichhillary

[chwaliszewski]

17. ^^ THIS ^^

[scottie55]

7. Sorry About That Middle Class and Poor

I guess yer gonna have to wait.......

[WhiteTara]

8. In another thread I read this is a bad thing that she in "only" up

by 10 pts. It's amazing what different writers think about the same subject.

[Kingofalldems]

9. She's cheating!!11!!

Bill Clinton talked to somebody in line!!

[reACTIONary]

10. Hill Yah! GO Hillary !

[Marty McGraw]

11. Whatever gets

You through the day!
Happy Thoughts are healthy!

[MisterP]

12. a staggering uptick!

[litlbilly]

13. then it will hurt all that much more when Bernie wins NY...

[pnwmom]

15. How will he do that without a lot of Independents? It won't be with the minority vote. n/t

[Beacool]

14. But, but, she's so unlikable and untrustworthy.

Some people are going to be in denial until the convention.

[chwaliszewski]

18. I Do Believe...

that Hillary's logo is accurate, with the red arrow pointing to the right, front and center of a blue H. If this was intended to be subconsciously symbolic, the designer did a good job.

[Bangbangdem]

20. Well....

I guess it's all over. Hahaha! Here we come..... elected or not, here we come.

[aggiesal]

21. California is an open primary ...

when they said "... registered voters ..."
was it just Democratic registered, or did it include Independents?

The article doesn't mention, but they could have polled Republucans as well.

I'm sure as we get closer to the election, those numbers will contract.

[GummyBearz]

38. To vote in the democratic primary in california

You can either be registered either as a democrat or "No party preference" (which is what we commonly call independent, but is confusing since California has an "independent party&quot . If you are a registered with any other party you cannot vote in the dem primary

[LenaBaby61]

22. Great news!

Looking forward to Tuesday & beyond.

[riversedge]

24. REC for the morning crowd

[SmittynMo]

25. Can someone say out loud "

BULLSHIT".

Last night I saw a poll 53-47, which is within the margin of error.

At this rate, he'll be ahead of her by tomorrow.

[metroins]

28. That was Bernie propaganda

Used for him to fundraise.

Use the accurate sources.

[SansACause]

26. That should just about do it.

It's time she focuses on the GE. I look forward to her trouncing Trump and Cruz. Pass the popcorn!

[rjsquirrel]

27. Woo hoo!

I am ready for this to be done with. Tell you what though, Bernie mania has convinced me to reevaluate my fondness for the occupy/far left crowd I used to pal around with. Given a chance they become as strident and accusatory and non-pragmatic as the Tea Party.

Proudly pulling the lever for Sec. Clinton in NY tomorrow. And to think six months ago I changed my NY registration from Ind to Dem so I could vote for Bernie as a little protest gesture, and now I can't wait to vote against him, or rather his rabid Marxist and (more my problem with them) misogynistic acolytes.

[SmittynMo]

29. Tin Cup

As Don Johnson said in Tin Cup:

"Ya know, you're all fucking nuts".

Good luck supporting crooked/corrupt politics.

I'm guessing the SOS is OK with you.

WOW

[rjsquirrel]

30. Bernie is so pure and yrue

You worship him like an idol. He's a politician. He can't save America by waving his hands over a copy of Das Capital.

It is infantile to believe in pure heroic men.

[SmittynMo]

31. WOW

You just confirmed that you really don't get it. I'm really not surprised.

[rjsquirrel]

32. *I* really don't get it lol!

I'm old enough that I canvassed for McGovern and protested the Vietnam war, child.

I'm a professional scientist who has traveled to 40 countries and all 50 states.

I have been engaged in politics for 50 years.

I think you don't get it.

[SmittynMo]

33. The future

So you don't approve of healthcare and education 1-16 for all? Both are extremely important for the future of this country.

And you do approve that a candidate that takes millions from special interests, has YOUR future in their best interest? WOW, Scientist and all, how can you possibly approve this?


Dude, it's not so much about you and I anymore. It's about our children and grandchildren.

[LiberalLovinLug]

40. Double Wow

Especially someone with your supposed education and travel.

So...because Bernie, and by extension his supporters, and by further extension the occupy movement before Sanders run, have been so damn vocal about how all the $ is filtered upwards to the 1%, especially during the last 40 years....you are done with that whole viewpoint.

Like you were once in support, but now, after having to hear about it day in and day out, you are sick of it and just want to go back to how it is. How things are supposed to be, where politicians take kickback $ from the wealthy and cater to them first, and if there's anything left over they may...may allow some to trickle down. Even though that path is unsustainable as the wealthy get richer and poor get poorer. No matter you will cheer on Hillary when she is President and announces that the TPP is actually a good deal for you.

You will embrace the status quo because....you'd rather live in a fantasy world where Trickle Down is going to... this time...solve all the problems. Giving all your hard earned taxes back into the coffers of the wealthy like Donald Trump via tax breaks while cutting social services, education, and infrastructure spending to do so....because....? Thats just the way it is? Because...You think some Sanders supporters have been just a little too enamored of Sanders the person?...

Wow wow

[pressbox69]

37. Yes

that's pretty much how I feel.

[Turin_C3PO]

42. Why

would you vote based on someone's supporters? I've seen both sides say that here and it make zero sense.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

34. Funny, there was a poll I read today that put it at 53-47.

I think the Hillary folks are setting themselves up for another major disappointment.

The Schadenfreude will be glorious!

[SmittynMo]

35. Someone earlier in this thread

indicated that those numbers were not the REAL numbers. Yeah, right

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

36. But the +17 for hill I've completely accurate

Although it probably more than 30

[LannyDeVaney]

39. I'll be bringing a big ol' apple to snack on tomorrow to celebrate!

Go Hillary!

[intheflow]

41. And three days earlier, The Hill had Clinton up 17 points over Sanders.

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/276389-poll-clinton-hangs-on-to-large-lead-in-new-york

I wouldn't be touting this as good news if I were a Clinton supporter.

[WhiteTara]

44. I read a Bernie poll that says she up 2pts and

that it doesn't matter if Bernie loses. This makes my head swim. I'll be happy when this contest is over.
