Biden leads in WA post-Super Tuesday Poll (Survey USA)

[brooklynite]

In SurveyUSA research conducted exclusively for KING-TV in Seattle, in interviews completed after Super Tuesday, after Mike Bloomberg dropped out but mostly before Elizabeth Warren dropped out, the contest at this hour stands:

* Biden, 36%.
* Sanders, 35%.
* Warren, who was included in the survey but who subsequently suspended her campaign, 10%.
* One of the other Democrats still on the ballot but no longer running, 13%.
* The nominal 1 point separating Biden and Sanders is not statistically significant.
* The contest should be characterized as even; Biden should not be described as leading nor Sanders as trailing.
* Because Washington allocates its 107 convention delegates proportionally, the ultimate popular vote win may be symbolic.
* Both Biden and Sanders would receive approximately the same number of delegates, should the candidates finish within a couple points of each other.

Yes, it's a 1-pt margin, but Sanders won the Washington Caucus 72-27 and it's the only State of consequence where he was expected to have a sizeable lead (he was +6 in the last pre-Super Tuesday poll)...

1. In WA here and not surprised at all..

...with the undemocratic caucus gone, BS won’t have an edge here...Clinton won the non binding primary in 2016...

5. It's a pretty this time.

And I don’t see Bernie doing well in Seattle suburbs. Forget Michigan, he’s fucked if he loses WA.

6. I Think the WA Primary Vote is More Instructive - He Lost 47% to 53% to Hillary

Why would anyone expect Bernie to have a sizable lead in WA? The 2016 WA caucus and subsequent Primary is just further evidence that caucuses are not the most democratic way for Dems to vote on their preference for POTUS. If it was Bernie wouldn't have fallen from 72% to 47% when more Dems got to vote.

7. Bernie Bros losing their shit over this, most acknowledging nomination is slipping away.

9. Yep.. I bet they were counting on making a big gain there.

This looks like a wash.

10. They are apoplectic on twitter, berating Sanders campaign manager, they want them sacked.

11. Good grief. They dont get it.

The problem is not the campaign, its the candidate.

8. Bernie losing WA would be like if Biden lost SC.

WA is the classic left-populist state that Bernie, if to be the nominee, should display blowout strength in.

If Biden did not blowout the field in SC he would've been finished.
