New Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows Biden crushing Sanders in Michigan and other battleground states

To have any hope of catching up to Joe Biden after the former vice president’s dominant performance on Super Tuesday, Bernie Sanders needs to win Tuesday’s Democratic presidential primary in Michigan — a state where the Vermont senator upset rival Hillary Clinton in 2016.

A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll suggests that Sanders has his work cut out for him. According to the survey, which was conducted from March 6 to March 8, Biden currently leads Sanders by 13 percentage points among likely Democratic primary voters in the Great Lakes State, 54 percent to 41 percent.

That lead is part of Biden’s larger advantage across the three Rust Belt states that flipped from Barack Obama to Donald Trump in 2016, effectively deciding that year’s election. In Wisconsin, which holds its primary on April 7, Biden leads Sanders 49 percent to 38 percent; 9 percent of voters there remain undecided. In Pennsylvania, which holds its primary on April 28 and where Biden was born and raised, the former vice president leads Sanders 59 percent to 31 percent — an astounding 28-point margin. Seven percent of Pennsylvania Democratic primary voters say they’re undecided.

and an outside chance of winning Washington. Mississi Mississippi, Missouri, and Michigan are lost causes.

One of the biggest misses in modern polling history. The question is did pollster find the wholes in their models and fix 'em?
