Exit poll: In tight CA race, absentee voters favor Hillary

http://capitolweekly.net/exit-poll-tight-race-absentee-voters-favor-hillary/

With just 48 hours until polls close in California, the crucial Democratic presidential contest between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders appears to be tightening. On the Republican side, the unopposed presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump is trying to show that he can consolidate the Republican electorate behind his candidacy.

Both make for interesting contests, albeit for completely different reasons.

The results of the online exit poll show Hillary leading in absentee votes by 12 points.

As a core part of the Capitol Weekly Absentee Voter Exit Poll, we sought to develop a tool that would allow us to survey enough of the early electorate to track support at the statewide level for each candidate and obtain similar results from each of California’s 53 congressional districts. We seek to give our readers a sense of which districts are solid for a candidate and where the battlegrounds lie, based solely on absentee voters who have returned ballots.


It could/will be close so vote! vote! vote!

Minimum of 7 points, but more likely double digits.

And would tend to agree... I think her masterful speech last week solidified the Dem base in CA. And Bernie can tout his yuuge crowds but I honestly think a lot of people come out to them to just be part of something "important" and it won't translate into votes...

Soooo excited for this historic clinching!!

after all BS has done to tear her down and build himself up in California!

I hear he tried to crash a stage and they told him.. "This is our Event."

BS didn't like it when #BLM went on the stage where he was in Phoenix and Seattle .. but it's okay for him to do it!?

@BernieSanders just tried 2 take the stage at a Spanish-language festival at Plaza Mexico. He was denied. Staffer said, "This is OUR event"

7. The demographics in CA play right into Hillary's diverse strengths.

We are a VERY Democratic state. The Rs hardly exist out here any more. I just can't see my fellow Ds supporting a DINO who has been tearing down the Dem Party for months. College kids are one thing, rank-n-file Ds are something else.

The polls have had Hillary with a double-digit lead for months. The polls that show it closer seem to be outliers to me. Sanders doesn't have a prayer at this point, and I can't see Californians supporting a losing cause.

I imagine a CA win, no matter how small, will have us hearing about momentum until he tries to ignite the democratic party in the funeral pyre of his own campaign in July.

And after DC and the rest of the SD endorse and perhaps those who endorsed Sanders flipping to Hillary it will leave a dim light for Sanders.
