Bernie Sanders boasts huge lead in state with most Super Tuesday delegates at stake, new poll shows

Sanders is way ahead of all Democratic candidates in California, which has 415 delegates at stake.

According to Mark DiCamillo, director of the IGS poll, the current"fractured nature" of support among the other Democrats competing in California could mean a major win for Sanders in the state.

"Sanders' current 34% share of the statewide vote virtually assures that he will achieve the 15% threshold not only statewide but across virtually all congressional districts," he continued."By contrast, the current support levels of Sanders' rivals place each in jeopardy of falling below this threshold across these constituencies. This situation gives Sanders an excellent chance of capturing the lion's share of the state's 415 pledged delegates.

Sanders faced some backlash this week over comments he made praising Cuban dictator Fidel Castro for the literacy programs he implemented in the 1960s. But this did not seem to have a negative effect on California primary voters, as the IGS poll shows that Sanders' support has increased by 10 points since January.
