So now some are pushing this "supposed" new New York Poll which has Hillary only ahead

[still_one]

by +6 points.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/4/17/1516577/-Gravis-New-York-Poll-Shows-Sanders-Within-Six-53-47-Among-Likely-Democratic-Voters

Funny that some of the cheerleaders seem to leave out some details:

The polling happened April 5-6,

This is April 18.

The last paragraph in the link also puts some things in perspective:

So it’s an automated telephone (landlines? mobiles?) poll from a C-rated pollster (per 538, not that they’re infallible). That’s a decent sample size of 1134 likely Democratic voters, though. Not sure how to read this one, and it appears the first in the field published poll for New York from this pollster, so we don’t even have anything prior for comparison. Just another poll to throw on the pile, I guess.

However, what really puts things in perspective is the polls for New York that have come out subsequent to that:

April 13 - April 15

CBS News/YouGov
Hillary 53, Sanders 43 Hillary +10

April 10 - April 13

NBC for NY/WSJ/Marist
Hillary 57, Sanders 40 Hillary +17

April 6 - April 11
Siena
Hillary 52, Sanders 42 Hillary +10

April 6 - April 11
Quinnipiac
Hillary 53, Sanders 40 Hillary +13

April 6 - April 10
NBS/WSJ/Marist
Hillary 55, Sanders 41 Hillary +14

April 7 - April 10
PPP
Hillary 51, Sanders 40 Hillary +11

So while some seem to be puffing up this poll, it is only fair to put everything in context isn't it?

1. Gotta get the building materials for their strawmen somewhere.

[shenmue]

2. Up by 6 is still up

[still_one]

5. That is also a good way to look at it, but I just wanted to put it into perspective

[shenmue]

6. Okay

[Buzz Clik]

8. I am guessing a 6 point victory by Clinton in NY.

The difference between 12 points and 6 points is significant in terms of delegates awarded in NY, but 6 point win is plenty to make life miserable for Sanders as we move forward.

[metroins]

27. I'm betting 14 point personally

And I'm not just trying to be a HRC fan.

The closed primary for so long really helps her.

[Buzz Clik]

28. The closed primary will slam the door on Sanders winning NY, which is critical for his campaign.

Now, he's simply trying to avoid a big, double digit loss because, if that happens, he will need to win CA by 5+ as well as landslide wins in May and June.

[jsmirman]

30. You are being way too pessimistic

I've been out on these streets. It's not going to be 6.

[sweetloukillbot]

22. I've been told that 12 points is practically a tie by a Berner

The logic was so convoluted, but it almost amounted to "it was within the margin of error!"

[Buzz Clik]

3. The new poll, if it was the one I saw here...

...was a robocall setup with limited answers. It is only for "likely voters" and not well screened for registration. So, non-registered voters or those not registered as Dems were polled.

The CBS/YouGov poll figured out the peculiarities of this year after Michigan. They have been very close since.

I have no doubt that the gap will close to single digits by Tuesday, but the 6 point spread at this time is unlikely.

15. Hey Buzz

I see you changed your sig icon to something completely secular. That's probably a good idea, as you seemed to be upsetting some people. Anyways I support and applaud your decision. Here's to ya

[Buzz Clik]

17. There were accusations that it was anti-Semitic...

...AND anti-Catholic. It may have been offensive to both, but my intent was a thumb in the eye of those who had elevated Sanders to sainthood.

However, I was finding that some were offended simply because it was overly insensitive. So, I killed it.

[rock]

23. Yeah, Incidentally I had NO problem at all in interpreting your message

But people do have a diverse thickness of skin.

[kstewart33]

31. Icon, schmicon. Glad you're here. nt

[Buzz Clik]

32. That is not always the sentiment, but thank you!

[leftofcool]

4. Hillary still has a double digit lead and will be Bernie by double digits!

[SaschaHM]

7. Let them raise their hopes and get complacent.

It will make the sting of his upcoming double digit loss on Tuesday hurt even more.

[Iliyah]

9. If thats the Gravis poll, ok, I'll go with PP

HRC will win double I have no doubt on that!

[George II]

10. Can't win if your opponent stays above 50%. It's simple math. But the poll is bogus anyway.

[still_one]

12. It is probably an outlier

[enid602]

26. glimmer of hope

It's amazing how the BSers were clinging to the +06 point poll yesterday, as if it were some glint of hope. It was pretty pathetic. They posted and cross-posted the hell out of it, despite the fact that it was old and was never posted on realpolitics.

[MattP]

11. They're using it to grift on

Send money now!!!!

[still_one]

14. yeah, looks that way, and that is SOP in regard to politics

[Thinkingabout]

13. Is this the pole results asking for a fifty dollar donation?

[Iliyah]

16. Gosh, I just saw the email from his campaign touting the Gravis poll

and asking for money. WOW. Fund raising off of cherry picking Clooney's statement and now this. Just WOW.

[DesertRat]

18. The State of Denial has no delegates. nt

[book_worm]

19. Gravis? Nuff said.

Besides it's a very old poll.

[ismnotwasm]

20. True.

I will be so glad when it's all over.

[hrc guy]

21. Outliar

Misspelling deliberate.

[Surya Gayatri]

25. Pun of the day! LOL!

[pandr32]

34. Perfect!

[Surya Gayatri]

24. "Fair and balanced" is NOT the BSers forte. Cut and paste,

recycle outdated material, etc. etc. They're rowing desperately to keep theirs and their on-line followers' spirits up.

Tough rowing...

[Walk away]

29. Well then...I guess we should work harder to get out the vote tomorrow!!!!

We can always use some incentive. I doubt that a majority of NY Democrats are going want a Socialist as our next POTUS!

[pandr32]

33. Let them! The "burn" will be worse
