(15,480 posts)Bernie Sanders is making a move in the polls of New York, and as he cuts into Hillary Clintons lead just a week before the states primary, he could also have a major chance to make up ground among a demographic once solidly in Clintons favor.
Sanders once trailed Clinton by 20- and 30-point margins in New York even a few outlying polls that placed him at close to 50 points behind but in the last week has cut the lead to roughly 10 points. Sanders is making an all-out blitz at the Empire State, including appearances in his native Brooklyn and a number of Upstate visits.
While he still has a way to go in catching Hillary Clinton, a poll released on Monday shows that he could have the potential to make up considerable ground. A Monmouth University poll showing Clinton ahead 51 percent to 39 percent also indicated that Clinton may be losing her grip on non-white voters, a demographic she had dominated in the primaries to this point.
The poll found that Clinton still leads 62 percent to 22 percent among black and Hispanic voters, but that this is a group that could still change sides.Bernie Sanders is making a move in the polls of New York, and as he cuts into Hillary Clintons lead just a week before the states primary, he could also have a major chance to make up ground among a demographic once solidly in Clintons favor.

(15,480 posts)Bernie Sanders has been making a major effort to win over black and Hispanic voters in New York. His campaign has been running an ad with an impassioned endorsement from Erica Garner, whose father Eric Garner was killed by a police officer in Staten Island, setting off citywide protests. She has appeared at events this week along with activist Harry Belafonte, who has also endorsed Sanders.
Garner said this week that Sanders has been in tune with issues facing the black community while other politicians have ignored them. A whole bunch of Democrats said black lives matter or Eric Garner
well where are they? Garner said
Bernie Sanders is making a move in other polls. A release from Emerson this week had Sanders down 18 points, a 30-point improvement from the firms previous poll in March.
Experts believe now that the pressure is on Hillary Clinton, as even a close loss could be very difficult for her moving forward. If she were to lose, or if it were very close in New York a state that she represented in the Senate that would be very devastating, Campbell said.
