Shock Poll: Bernie Sanders Cuts Clinton’s Lead To Single Digits In New York

[Bubzer]

A poll of New York voters released Sunday night says that Clinton’s lead is down to just six percent (53 percent to 47), according to the Guardian. It’s 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 it’s 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 Clinton’s 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.

This makes New York a Virtual tie due to margin of error.

1. oh boy.. this is gonna be a hoot

[Betty Karlson]

2. Given the usual "slight" of the polls, does this mean he is four points ahead of her? eom

[roguevalley]

3. cue polls don't count

[Bubzer]

5. +1

[Bubzer]

4. I think it'd be fair to say the margin of error probably favors Bernie.

There's also this:

This is an interesting one, but I’m adding it to the mix because it hasn’t been reported on yet. The polling happened April 5-6, which obviously predates all of the crazy things that have happened since then: “unqualified,” the Pope trip, the huge Washington Square rally, and the debate. And only one day would include the reaction to the April 5 Wisconsin primary.

6. A great post to end the evening with!

[Bubzer]

7. Right!

[enid602]

8. sleep

Except for the fact that the poll covers Aril 4 and 5, whereas polls dated 4/15 and 4/16 show Hill with consistent double digit leads. Interestingly, the poll in the OP does not show up in realclearpolitics.com, despite being so old. But you have a great, restful night of sleep.

[senz]

10. The spirit of the Hill fan ...

... quite something.

[enid602]

13. NY poll

And the LATEST poll (ALREADY posted to realpolitics.com) shows HIll with a 15% lead.

[senz]

28. You really should take a look at how you expressed it

in the comment of yours to which I was responding. I'm talking about the tone, the sarcastic comments about getting a good night's sleep.

Man, that is SO off, so unnecessary. Yet Hill folk do it all the time.

[senz]

9. Seriously! Wonderful news.

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Explains a lot of the activity here in GDP, particularly from an influx of brand-new "friends"

[pdsimdars]

21. isn't that funny, we find out last week that Hillary's campaign is paying people to astroturf online

and all of a sudden, I'm having to put a bunch of people on ignore and a lot of them have only done a few dozen posts. . . . . . .. . I'm definitely not saying there's any connection, . . . but . . . .

[Bubzer]

22. I'll say it...there's a connection.

[merrily]

27. You only got that last week?

Very early on, it came out that she had hired Facebookers, much like Newt did the last time he ran.

This what I heard from someone from the DNC: Every Democratic politician has at least 2 or 3 paid posters. The DNC has them too. Now, imagine what a Democratic politician running for President for the second time has.

That's why, when I hear how very awful anonymous posters who supposedly support Bernie are, I don't rush to hang my head in shame. Well that and some Hillary supporters have been pretty awful to me. Kornacki finally admitted the truth a few days ago: the supporters of all Presidential candidates, Democratic and Republican, have been equally nasty to him online.

[pdsimdars]

31. That makes Bernie's Yuuuuuuge crowds of REAL grassroots so special. A tidal wave.

[bobbobbins01]

12. Things are looking pretty good for Tuesday.

3 million calls made this weekend, and still a day to go.
New poll within single digits.
The amount of new registered democrats is up.
Two huge rallies in NYC and a march.
Meeting with the pope.

Seems like this could be the biggest upset yet. I can't wait to see how the pundits try to spin this on Wednesday.

[pdsimdars]

20. I've put my prayers in.

[Zynx]

14. The Gravis poll is nonsense. It shows a 74% white Dem electorate in NY. In NY? Seriously?

It's also an older poll based on survey date. Many newer polls have come out. If you believe this poll, you're engaging in wishful thinking and are an idiot.

[Tanuki]

17. Jury results:

On Mon Apr 18, 2016, 07:45 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1766550

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

The poster's response would have been fine, but the last sentence killed it. No need to call the OP an idiot.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Apr 18, 2016, 07:51 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The poster isn't calling a specific DUer an idiot . Leave.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: touchy touchy
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If every post on DU that called someone an idiot or worse was removed, it would look like the Rapture had happened! I seriously doubt that the alerter really thinks the rest of the post was "fine."

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[DCBob]

15. Almost two weeks old... its meaningless.

[Joe the Revelator]

38. It....it came out last night.

[DCBob]

39. Right.. but the actually polling dates were April 5-6.

There have been a ton of polls since then. As I said.. meaningless.

[Tarc]

16. Time to get a little more current, kids

That was from 2 weeks ago. Today? Up by 15.

[Bubzer]

23. Oh look... a fly-by-night website that lacks anything resembling an actual poll...

Oh! And a link to an HRC supporting page. You deserve a golden for your efforts.

[Tarc]

25. Lol, this is from the Emerson College Polling Society

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/ny/new_york_democratic_presidential_primary-4221.html

http://www.theecps.com/

But by all means, fail more plz.

[Fawke Em]

32. The Emerson poll uses a robo-dialer.

Guess what that means?

NO CELL PHONES CALLED (it's illegal).

So... there's that.

[Tarc]

33. Keep up the ad hominems on sources you don't like

I'm sure it'll help soften the blow.

[strategery blunder]

36. That's not an ad hominem--it's a known issue with methodology in polling n/t

[Tarc]

37. Poor l'il poppet

They didn't call millennials while they were Netflixin n chillin...

[workinclasszero]

29. 2 weeks ago?

Wow...

[Dem2]

18. I posted last night about this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1763520

[pdsimdars]

19. There could be no more stark image than the pictures of their rallies yesterday

Bernie had over 28,000 and Hillary had a few hundred.

Now, being as impartial as I can muster, I wonder which one of them seems to have more enthusiasm? Hmmmmm. Shouldn't take long to answer that one.

[appalachiablue]

24. Nice Shot! For real, Bernie had the largest number yet, 28,000 in NY! Hill a couple 100.

Way to go Bernie!

[merrily]

26. It's not her home state, but it is a state that has been represented by her, as with Vermont and

Bernie. Bernie got 86.1% of the primary vote in Vermont. Let's see how much Hillary gets in NY.

[democrattotheend]

30. Is this the same old poll from April 4-6 that has been posted here several times?

Or is it a new poll?

Either way, I don't think this is a great pollster, from what I recall.

[Demsrule86]

34. I went on the website and it said

55 Hillary...40 Bernie. They predicted she would win...he did cut three points but that is within the margin of error.

[Bubzer]

35. Here you go.

The latest from Gravis/One America News says it’s now Clinton with 53 percent and Sanders with 47.

40. Outlier

Do you realize how many polls there have been over the last ten days? This is an outlier. Here is the answer with respect to New York;
