The Berkeley-IGS poll, overseen by my former office suite-mate pollster Mark DiCamillo, is out with new numbers today showing Bernie Sanders running away with the California primary next week, where 415 delegates are at stake:
Sanders is now the choice of 34% of likely voters in the primary, twice the support of Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, his nearest rival who is preferred by 17%. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg receives 12% and former South Bend Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is at 11%. Further back are former Vice President Joe Biden at 8% and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar at 6%. Another 5% of voters are supporting other candidates and 7% remain undecided.
The fractured nature of vote support for Sanders rivals has big implications with regard to how the states 415 pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention are allocated to the candidates. This is because under Californias delegate allocation rules a candidate must receive at least a 15% share of the vote statewide or within the states 53 congressional districts to be awarded delegates.
The most interesting wrinkle here is that Sanders is narrowly leading Warren right now in polls in Massachusetts, which also votes on Tuesday. It is thought that a Sanders win in Massachusetts would finish off Warren, since losing her own home state would be a large embarrassment. However, if these California poll results hold up, Warren will be the only other candidate to get any delegates out of California, which will give her a reason to stay in.
But the additional wrinkle is that because Californias results wont come in until nearly midnight on the east coast, a Sanders win in Massachusetts will have both the TV and early-deadline print media hyping the fact that Warren has been dealt a fatal blow. Fun times!

Golden shower.
In a state damn near buried in its own shit, its not surprising they are for this Communist idiot! Hell, they vote in Pelosi, too!
Is it too late to repeal the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo?
More like “golden flow” state.
Warren has to stay in so she can give Bernie her delegates in exchange for the VP slot—if she has enough delegates to help get him over 50% on the first ballot.
If the two of them sweep California delegates that will be a big step towards finishing off all the other candidates.
The Democratic establishment wanted to make CA more important in the primary season—and shot themselves in the head! Feel the Bern!
Mexifornia - all the beaners and illegals love Crazy Commie Bernie
they want their free shit - healthcare being #1.
They want the open borders.
Red Man Bad.
Slo Joe @ 8% in CaliUnicornia.
The gold has tarnished to brown. California, the brown state.
In recent years, California has taken about three weeks after an election to produce final results. Some believe this is due to chicanery. In any event, if it’s a close election in California, we may not know for a while who really won, similar to how we may never know what really happened in Iowa.
Red Man evil.

Warren will not be the nominee. Politically she is not much different than Bernie except I would enjoy having a beer with Bernie but would abhor such with Warren. She is a harsh and not very nice person and also a serial liar and charlatan. Those are her nice attributes.
As Warren fades her support will go to Bernie. Unless the democrat hierarchy steals the nomination from Bernie again he will be the nominee. It they do steal it again the Bernie voters will stay home with the exception of violence in the streets.
Yes, Bernie is golden in the nomination process of the democrat party. He is dead meat in the general election and this disaster will carry down ballot and the Dems will be crushed.
My post is almost exactly what James Carville has warned his party about. Odd that I am James are in agreement.
California. Yes. Of course.
I went to youtube to listen to “The Internationale” just for giggles. The site displayed the red flag with hammer & sickle plus red star.
Nearly all the comments were pro-communist, pro-USSR, pro-Stalin, anti-American, etc. Scary.
You’re right. My bad. Thanks, Leep. : )
It’s a bit surprising Poofter Pete is that far behind Mike.
