Much more at the link.
As a Sanders supporter I'm hoping the debate helped him, and that other trends are going his campaign's way. But, unsurprisingly, Clinton has the advantage going in.

-- Democratic primary --
Hillary Clinton currently holds a 55% to 42% lead over Bernie Sanders in the Michigan Democratic primary. Clinton enjoys a solid edge among non-white voters (68% to 27%), who make up more than one-fourth of the likely electorate. Clinton (49%) and Sanders (48%) are virtually tied among white voters. Clinton has a 57% to 40% lead among voters who earn less than $50,000 a year, and a 54% to 42% lead among those who earn $50,000 or more.
Sanders holds a solid lead (58% to 39%) among voters under the age of 50, but this is offset by Clintons more than 2-to-1 advantage among voters age 50 and older (65% to 31%).
Clinton had Michigan all to herself eight years ago after her opponents pulled out when the state violated party rules in scheduling its primary too early. This time she appears to be holding on in the face of a tough challenge from Sanders, said Murray.
Note: nearly all the interviews for this poll were conducted before Sunday nights debate.

I like to pretend people who disagree with me do so merely because "they don't get it" too.

If you realize that you are "pretending" and you persist in advocating you view, that's called lying

Oh, you missed the Michigan State University poll released today that shows only a 5% margin.

Hopefully Nate will be as accurate as his forecasts that Clinton and Trump would both win Oklahoma,
