New poll by Stanford scholars shows age divide among California Democrats, GOP unity issues
A new poll of California voters by Stanford University’s Bill Lane Center and the Hoover Institution shows an age divide in the Democratic Party and GOP voters slow to embrace Donald Trump. There were mixed views on the superdelegate issue and the state’s open primary system.

BY JENNIFER MAYFIELD
With California’s June 7 primary only a week away, a new Hoover Institution Golden State Poll finds Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump with large leads in their respective primaries but cautionary signs ahead, and good news for Democratic U.S. Senate hopefuls Kamala Harris and Loretta Sanchez.


A week before California’s June 7 primary, a new poll of state voters by the Hoover Institution and the Bill Lane Center shows an age divide among Democrats and GOP unity issues.

Hoover’s Golden State Poll, administered by the survey research firm YouGov and designed in conjunction with Stanford University’s Bill Lane Center for the American West, finds Clinton holding a 13-point lead over U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (51 percent to 38 percent).

1. I don't think even your candidate is buying that one.

[workinclasszero]

4. Big rallies

Right?

[dchill]

5. No, she cancelled small NJ rallies...

to go to Cali for some more small rallies.

9. That one went right over the head, apparently.

[bettyellen]

2. Sadly a lot of voters will vote for who they are sure will win....

And that will help her next week.

[Mr Maru]

8. So once again when states go for Sanders, it's "the revolution, man" but states that choose

someone else? They are rigged, or the voters are just dumb, aka "the south."

And now we have a new one. California aren't smart enough to choose the "revolution" because they're busy being shallow and voting for the winner because she won.

[bettyellen]

10. I'm a Hillary supporter, but recognize that Sanders is more fucked in Cali than

Anyone wants to admit, because NJ.

[Mr Maru]

12. Well good, imo. Puts him out of our misery sooner. No more excuses.

He can go away mad if he wants to, just, you know. Go away.

But I suspect strongly he'll be back and his tone will change dramatically after the 7th when he needs help with his massive debt.

[bettyellen]

13. I think he's going to have a hard time being supportive of our nominee....

Whether it is distain for the process or his ego, I don't expect him to do much to help beat Trump. He's going to look increasingly foolish after next week if he keeps it up and it's a shame all around.

[Mr Maru]

16. Most of his voters will support the nominee. DU isn't real life. Even most of the "true believers"

IRL will vote for Hillary. There will be a few vocal fundamentalist types, the kind who were seen arguing that a "Tea Party of the Left" would be awesome, who will sit and hold their breath in the corner till they turn purple. But that contingent is always there, in the corner, holding their breath and stomping their feet.

[bettyellen]

17. I agree it is a small part- in the final analysis she is a fairly

Average Dem in most of the areas where people are critical of her - and a better than average in many ways- and the "outrage" will die out. Am very much looking forward to her debating Trump. I thought it was ridiculous for Sanders to suggest he have that honor.

3. stop scaring the right wingers here

11. The survey, which interviewed 1,700 adult (18 and up) Californians, was conducted from May 4 to May

14. Probably optimistic

We'll say it's 5 points for the sake of argument. If Bernie can swing the -5 point lead to a 50 point lead in a week, he has a chance of winning the nomination.

Seems pretty doable, what do DUers think?

[Bill USA]

15. interesting. Uh-oh, here cometh the wrath of the Bernie fans, and Repugnants "for" Bernie
