Hillary Clinton Popularity battered in a tight race in California-Men cite *Scandal* as reason

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in a tight race in California as the campaign batters her Popularity
Hillary Clinton’s popularity has slumped in California under an unrelenting challenge from Bernie Sanders, who has succeeded in breaching the demographic wall Clinton had counted on to protect her in the state’s presidential primary, a new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll has found.
As he has done across the country this primary season, Sanders commands the support of younger voters by huge margins in advance of Tuesday’s primary — even among Latinos and Asians, voter groups that Clinton easily won when she ran eight years ago. Many of his backers come from a large pool of voters who have registered for the first time in the weeks before the election.

The Vermont senator has battled Clinton to a draw among all voters eligible for the Democratic primary, with 44% siding with him to 43% for Clinton. That represented a nine-point swing from a USC/Los Angeles Times poll in March, in which Clinton led handily.

Among those likely voters not supporting Clinton, the reasons differed by gender. Women were more likely to say she was not “genuine,” while men most often cited “scandal.”

Good for Bernie for staying until the convention! Every vote Counts! Count Every Vote
This poll is undoubtedly why Clinton cancelled her NJ campaign stops and has added more California campaign stops in her schedule.
ETA to show why the Times says her campaign is battered

She'll be a good president. Her speech today on foreign policy and the way she attacked Trump, is more proof of the difference between a thoughtful person who is smart and knowledgeable, and a buffoon.
