Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumShock Poll: Bernie Sanders Cuts Clinton’s Lead To Single Digits In New York - Cross posted from GDP
A poll of New York voters released Sunday night says that Clintons lead is down to just six percent (53 percent to 47), according to the Guardian. Its the latest ray of hope for the Sanders campaign, but with the primary vote there just two days away, is Bernie Sanders growing popularity too little too late?
An Emerson poll from about a month ago (March 14 16) showed that Clinton was 48 points ahead of the Vermont Senator. But Sanders popularity has continued to rise. The latest from Gravis/One America News says its now Clinton with 53 percent and Sanders with 47, even though the poll was supposedly taken from April 5th and 6th. Although those poll results are just now making their way through the media pipeline, it still reflects a tumultuous time in the election.
The Sanders campaign might not have enough momentum to win New York, but the campaign would still cause a major upset if they pick up enough delegates. New York is Clintons home state, which usually gives a presidential candidate enormous advantages.
The Gravis poll also says that out of those Democrats surveyed, 69 percent said they were very likely to vote in the upcoming primary.

Note: This puts the race in a virtual tie due to margin of error
