Related: About this forumTwo New National Polls Today Show Clinton's Lead Shrinking: Down to 7 Points!
Hillary Clinton's lead over Democratic presidential rival Bernie Sanders has narrowed, according to the latest national polls released Tuesday.
Clinton is favored to beat Sanders by 7 points, 49 to 42 percent, among registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents in the ABC News/Washington Post poll.
That's the closest margin ever between the pair in the poll, which recorded a 52-point lead for Clinton, 68 to 16 percent, last July. It's also the first time Clinton has slipped below 50 percent from Democratic-leaning voters.

Some polls are just wrong.

Your own, for instance.

OK, so I'm anxious.

(18,115 posts)7. Her delegate lead has not expanded since March 1.
She did not expand her delegate lead this weekend, after losing 3 of 4 contests.

(1,377 posts)9. No reason for Sanders to get out
We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. So anything can happen like her getting arrested.

(3,017 posts)11. Wow, and less than a week ago Chuck Todd and Anna Greenberg were agreeing
that Bernie had made a concession speech after Super Tuesday and was going to focus on the Republicans and using his money to bring more voters into the fold for Hillary in the general election.
