Clinton Retains Massive 18-Point Lead Over Sanders in California

Bernie really wants to win California on June 7th...but it sure looks like he's still dreamin': 

Hillary Clinton is well positioned to defeat Bernie Sanders in California's presidential primary, according to an exclusive Eyewitness News poll conducted by SurveyUSA.

The poll results, released on Monday, showed that Clinton would defeat Sanders 57 percent to 39 percent. The results of the poll showed that Sanders continues to lead among the youngest voters, while Clinton leads by 12 points among voters age 35 to 49.

The poll showed that Clinton also leads by 34 points among voters age 50 to 64, and she leads by 45 points among voters age 65 and above.

Also, Clinton has majority support among every income group, while Sanders leads by 2:1 among first-time primary voters.

Crazily enough, I guess Sanders supporters loudly booing California's beloved senator Barbara Boxer at the Nevada convention didn't much help his cause there.

SurveyUSA is a well-regarded pollster that's A-rated by FiveThirtyEight.com, and this result is essentially unchanged from their previous California poll from three weeks ago. The bottom line is that it's looking good for Hillary in California, and Benchmark agrees:

We have Clinton +12 in California vs Sanders. So many counties 40-50% Hispanic... These are counties Sanders has extreme trouble with.

And speaking of 538, they have updated their odds:

Hillary Clinton has a 98% chance of winning the California primary.

Question: When Bernie's delusional California-based endgame collapses with a New York-style loss there, he'll quickly concede the race to Hillary and unite the party against Trump...right?
