New PPIC poll shows a tossup in California

[Triana]

The latest statewide survey from the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) shows U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders closing the gap on Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary in California. According to the survey’s results, Sanders now trails Clinton by only two percentage points, 44% to 46%.

. . .

The PPIC results paint a different picture from a SurveyUSA/ABC 7 poll published this week, which had Clinton with an 18-point advantage, 57 percent to 39 percent. The ABC 7 report says Clinton is winning with voters between the ages of 35 and 49, a demographic she reportedly leads by 12 points.

Both SurveyUSA/ABC 7 and the April Field Poll show Bernie Sanders with a huge advantage among young voters. The Field Poll showed a 25-point gap between Sanders and Clinton with voters under 30, so while ABC 7 reports that Clinton is expected to win California in a landslide, there is indication that it may not be as easy of a contest for her as it would have been earlier this year.

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla reported Tuesday that his office saw a huge surge in voter registration and registration updates over the past few weeks, including nearly 200,000 citizens who registered or updated their information on Monday, the final day to register for the June 7 primary.

1. Poll has Hillary up 6 with Whites, 9 with Hispanics, yet only up 2 in total? Numbers don't add up.
