New York polls have stabilized: Hillary Clinton has a clear and comfortable lead

................................

Here’s where New York now stands: over the past week, eight different polling outlets have released new numbers. They all peg Hillary Clinton’s lead as being between ten and eighteen points. She’s likely to finish somewhere in that range. This is a closed primary, which means no Michigan style surprise. And because it’s too large of a state to erase a double digit difference in the final week before voting, it now looks clear that Clinton will win comfortably. That may help explain why the Sanders campaign is already looking to arrange a way to explain away the likely loss.

1. Bill bring me my pillows, finally I can relax and cruise to a win....n/t

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

2. All the polls conducted over roughly the same period show roughly the same spread....

Color me shocked...

It would be bizarre if they didn't show roughly the same spread since they were taken over the same timeframe.

[The Old Lie]

3. In reality, it is a win for Bernie

The polls has been consistently wrong and they're still using landlines. 100% unreliable.

[TMontoya]

6. Keep thinking that

I will be looking forward to whining and screams of "fraud" when he loses.

[rock]

9. Then you got nothing to worry about!

Congrats!

[FarPoint]

31. Only with the loosey goose Caucuses ...

Oh, and open Primary voting where Independent and Republicans can cross over does Bernie squeeze out a win. Now the closed voting will be much more reflective in true votes.

[hrmjustin]

4. It feels like a win here for Hillary. I think 10-20 percent is the range.

[riversedge]

14. I will trust you--a local--and on the ground.

[CoffeeCat]

5. Bernie is going to win NEW YORK!!!

I can feel it!!!

The polls have sucked this primary season.

I'm taking to you Michigan!

We shall prevail. Seriously. It's going to be epic!

[rock]

10. Then you got nothing to worry about!

Congrats!

20. Michigan was an open primary. NY required registered voters to affiliate by last October

and new voters to register as Democrats by a month before the primary.

No last minute surge of Independents will be happening in NY.

[pnwmom]

33. Do you realize what a tiny fraction of voters that surge comprised? It would be big in Wyoming

but it's a drop in the bucket in N.Y.

Also, the article attributes much of it to Trump, and says half are new voters. That's strange because people already registered would be wasting their time filing applications now.

But given the impact Donald Trump has had on the Republican race, and to a lesser degree Bernie Sanders on the Democratic side, few are surprised that the New York primary could have a higher-than-usual turnout.

7. Love that graphic. That would be a great poster.

[reformist2]

8. All style over substance. I have no idea what she would do as prez.

[SFnomad]

15. Then you probably need to pull your head out of the sand n/t

[morningfog]

11. Yes yes. Get comfortable. Relax.

[brooklynite]

12. But, Bernie has large RALLY crowds!!!

Like he did in Florida...

[CoffeeCat]

13. Like he did in the last seven states

that he won!

We've got momentum!

And the Working Family Party's endorsement.

And word has it that things are going well in upstate New York. Zephyr Teachout won 70 percent in several of those counties. Bernie has the same anti-fracking stance that galvanized such strong support for Teachout in those NY counties.

This is getting good!

[pnwmom]

21. Those were caucus states and most were open. He disappointed in Wyoming because,

though it was a caucus, it was closed.

New York is a closed primary. Bernie's independent voters should have switched to Democratic -- last October.

[firebrand80]

27. Teachout also lost nt

[NurseJackie]

25. They don't vote in similar numbers, AND when they do vote ...

... many of them typically don't bother to vote for down-ticket Democrats or in other important races (like elected judges). Do they not care? Are they in too much of a rush? Did they not bother to do their research on candidates? Are they "protesting" by not voting for other Democrats?

It's all very weird. That's now how a "revolution" finds success.

[apcalc]

26. Hillary supporters

Are too busy working and rearing children to go to rallies. Or caucuses.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

16. want to make a friendly large bet?

???

[hill2016]

19. I'm willing to bet

that Clinton wins NY.

[delrem]

17. Don't panic, says Hillary in the OP.

Why would she suppose her die hard supporters might be panicking?
Golly, that's a hard one to figure.

[Corporate666]

18. But the big question is....

...will Bernie have the decency to drop out after NY?

His deficit is already insurmountable by virtually all accounts, save for the most desperately ignoring reality. But will Sanders keep taking millions of dollars from people and lying to them and saying he can win, or will be put an end to the charade and get in line behind his superior - Hillary.

[IdaBriggs]

24. "...get in line behind his superior - Hillary."

I am not sure if you are in the wrong country or from a different century, but if you actually believe what you typed, you need to check into what our values include -- CREATED EQUAL is kind of a big part of it.

Take that "his superior" stuff back into the fantasyland of "Queen Hillary" - Presidents are Servants of the People, and that is the temporary job they are competing for.

[firebrand80]

28. Nope

He's already fallen back on the "SDs will switch to me," argument. The PD lead that was supposed to be so important is now irrelevant.

[enid602]

32. I'm confused

Isn't that what you guys said about Confederate, Southern Democrats?

[IdaBriggs]

23. So will they cancel the debate then? Seems like a waste of time.

If it won't affect the polls anyway.

And that should mean they can stop blocking streets in New York with their rallies, right? Since the polls have stabilized and all.

(Oops - my bad - that was just a Bernie thing.)

Are we even going to bother with that silly voting thing on Tuesday, now that the polls are all stabilized? Or do we just assume that, even though the polls have been at historical levels of wrong, this time magic will happen and the good fairy of "it will be different This Time!" will appear?

[leftynyc]

30. Except nobody is asking what

you're rolling your eyes about. You're upset about your own strawman. That takes a special (pathetic) talent.

[IdaBriggs]

34. I was mocking the importance of the original post.

If the sarcasm was too subtle, accept my apologies. Hopefully I have now made it clear for you.

[leftynyc]

35. As clear as mud (n/t)
