    Opinion swung against Sanders prior to super Tuesday. With the race now down to Biden, Bernie, and Tulsi, it's still fair to say Bernie is not a fringe candidate, while noting that's not enough to count ... for the candidate and supporters who can't count.

    With the winnowed field, I'm guessing the next forecast will show Biden with a clear path to a majority at the convention.

      I think the next 2 debates which will basically be a one on one between Biden and Sanders, moderate and progressive, will be crucial in determining the final outcome.

          I have reservations about these sort of blanket characterizations. I hope your Hopi.

                  The same folks were getting dressed to attend Biden's political funeral just a week ago.

                      It's going to be so cringe central if Biden gets on the debate stage with Trump. I mean it's going to be brutal.

                            Trump is good when it comes to one-on-one unprofessional verbal exchanges, and that's what it's going to come down to, because that's where we're at in this current political environment where anything goes. Everyone knows Biden has dementia, even the folks that feel it's taboo to publicly call it that know that's what it is. What folks don't realize is that the more stress the person is under the worse it gets.

                            Sanders could lay the smackdown against Biden during the primary debates, but he won't because he's a feckless wimp. I expect those debates to be snooze-fest and Biden will breeze through them for the most part. In fact, I'm surprised progressives aren't DEMANDING the DNC allow Gabbard on the stage. I have no doubt she'd come at Biden hard, like she did Harris.

                              The current forecast from that site (updated 41 minutes ago) gives Biden a 7 in 8 chance of winning a majority, 1 in 10 chance of a brokered convention, and 1 in 50 for Sanders to win a majority.

                              Of course, just as there was a big swing from what you posted to right now in just a matter of days, we could easily see a big swing within the week for Sanders to make a surge and keep up with Biden.

                                Biden is leading in the polls in both Michigan and Missouri. Though I don't put much stock in those polls, they were all accurate in regards to Biden and that might have even been before the SC and moderate endorsement momentum he had on Tue, because a lot of those primaries were done early. In Florida, he has something like a 40+ poll favor.
