Bernie Sanders holds a commanding double-digit lead on the cusp of California's Democratic primary.

Bernie Sanders holds a commanding double-digit lead on the cusp of California's Democratic primary, a new Suffolk University/USA TODAY statewide poll finds, giving the Vermont senator the prospect of capturing the lion's share of the largest trove of convention delegations in the country on Super Tuesday.

On Sunday, Biden argued that his strong showing had made him the clear moderate alternative to Sanders, portraying it as effectively a two-person race.face a double challenge in California: finishing ahead of Bloomberg, who also portrays himself as the strongest moderate contender, and reaching the 15% threshold needed to claim a share of convention delegates allocated by the results statewide and in its 53 congressional districts.

But the California survey also shows what could happen if voters consolidated behind a single moderate alternative to Sanders, who describes himself as a Democratic socialist. For instance, the combined support of Bloomberg, Biden, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar would total 42%, seven points higher than Sanders' current standing.

In the Suffolk/USA TODAY poll, one in four likely Democratic primary voters reported that they had already cast their ballots, which means their vote can't be affected by Biden's bounce or Bloomberg's final TV ad push. Thirteen percent in that group voted for Biden, well behind Sanders , Warren and Bloomberg .

Attitudes also were divided on whether the Democratic candidate who arrives at the convention with the support of the most delegates should be nominated, even if he or she hasn't reached a majority. Under party rules, if no candidate wins the nomination on the first ballot, unpledged"superdelegates" would be able to vote on the second ballot. Many of those party regulars are considered more likely to back Biden than Sanders.

Perfect example to demonstrate the low IQ and lack of a basic history lesson for our younger generation.... To even consider a Socialist in a freedom loving nation is and should be blasphemous.... Whole lotta patriots who died for this nation turning over in their graves
