Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders by double digits among likely voters in New Jersey’s Democratic primary, according to the results of the latest Quinnipiac University poll out Thursday. Matched against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, both Democratic candidates came out on top, but Sanders leads by a wider margin.

Those likely to vote in the state’s June 7 primary preferred Clinton to Sanders, 54 percent to 40 percent, with 6 percent undecided. Just 15 percent said they could change their mind, while 84 percent said they are firmly committed....................


In her general election matchup with Trump, Clinton leads 45 percent to 38 percent, with women, younger voters and college graduates indicating a stronger preference toward the former secretary of state.

The gender gap between Trump and Clinton is on full display in the New Jersey poll, as 46 percent to 36 percent of men said they would vote for Trump and 53 percent of women said they preferred Clinton to 32 percent who would prefer the presumptive Republican nominee.

4. Did they poll independents?

If you are an Undeclared voter (or what some erroneously call "Independent&quot , you may declare your affiliation up to and including primary election day - right at the polling place – and cast your ballot in that party's race. If you are voting in your very first primary, you can declare your party affiliation at the polls.

7. All their mafia friends! Need I say more?

[Gamecock Lefty]

8. Hillary needs < 92 more delegates; Angry Bernie needs 855!

We got this!

9. Your critical thinking skills are letting you down.

Counting supers as if they have already voted isn't a valid method of tabulating the status of the candidates; it is Clinton campaign propaganda.

11. If they were rooting for her without any reservations, they would have endorsed her by now

14. The media called it for Obama once he passed the threshold

And will likely do so that night for Clinton.

10. A poll is sometimes nothing more than a snapshot in time.

12. There will be more polls. This at least is not a right wing FOX or Rasmussen poll like the other two

that "showed" Trump ahead of Clinton.

You know the ones Sanders supporters were trumpeting, "we told you so."

Trump will lose spectacularly as more oppo research come out on him like the ABC News story today on his tax evasion that has been going on for years.

13. But guess what Bernie knows how to catch up fast.......

.....Watch out what you dream for!!!!!
