Hillary Clinton has but a 2% lead in California polls

<![CDATA[

Hillary Clinton has but an identical 2% lead in two recent California primary polls conducted by Field and another jointly undertaken by NBC, the Wall Street Journal and The Marist Institute for Public Opinion.

In turn, this slim lead is but half of the margin of error and thus technically a statistical tie.

As these polls were conducted by two of the most reputable polling organization in the county, the Clinton campaign has to be in white knuckle mode – especially as such narrow pre-election polling leads for her have often turned out to be losses to Bernie Sanders on Election Day.

Further, while California Democratic Presidential delegates are allocated proportionally and Clinton should thus go over the top all but officially for a first ballot nomination at next month’s Democratic Convention in Philadelphia even if she is beaten by Sanders in next Tuesday’s California primary, losing not only the big Kahuna and final primary that is California but also most of the primaries in recent weeks will surely take the momentum out of her long expected coronation as the Democratic standard bearer for November’s General Election.

Clinton is in danger of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory here. But it would hardly be the first time, would it?

Further troubling for Hillary Clinton, a number of polls have long as well as all but constantly found Bernie Sanders to poll better than she does against political newcomer Donald Trump in hypothetical match ups for November’s General Election.

As such, ponder also the irony of a nervous Democratic elite during the Democratic Convention now looking likely whereas the Republican Convention is suddenly looking to be smooth as Melina Trump’s surely as well as often exfoliated skin.
