Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders by 13 points in Pennsylvania

The day after a stinging primary defeat in New York, a new poll suggests Bernie Sanders faces an uphill battle in Pennsylvania next Tuesday — the biggest of the day’s five primary contests.

The poll, released Wednesday by Monmouth University, finds Hillary Clinton leading Sanders by 13 percentage points in the Keystone State, 52%-39%.

Clinton’s New York win Tuesday stunted a primary win streak by Sanders, who had taken seven of the previous eight states.

“After her win in New York this week, these numbers in nearby Pennsylvania suggest that the entire northeast is looking pretty good for the Clinton campaign,” said Patrick Murray, the director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute.

The survey captured the thoughts of 302 likely Democratic primary voters in the state, where 189 pledged delegates will be at stake Tuesday.

but then...New York, Clinton +15.8.

Now I'm not so sure that it's overly optimistic. Maybe a little, but I've already set my initial guess at Clinton +10 for PA.

in a landslide and the other states as well expect Rhode Island. Its nice going to see how certain progressive reaction on Tuesday. They thought New York was bad wait until next Tuesday, they might be in full depression mode by then and expect to get ulgy.

I already voted in MD, but I think she'll win big here. I hope she sweeps the states!
