Canada managed an entire general election in 11 weeks. And even then people were getting pissed off.
Now the UK has set lengths of fixed-term parliaments, it'll be interesting to see if the process becomes drawn out, like in the US. Before the last term, the government could call a 'snap' election any time they wanted (or wait up to five years). A general election can still be called if a (minority) government doesn't survive a vote of no confidence, or some other mechanism.
I like a good poll as much as the next person, but I fear a rigid election cycle with dates set in stone might have the same result over this side of the Atlantic.
Registered Voters: Clinton 44.6, Sanders 43.1
Likely Voters: Clinton 62.0, Sanders 34.0
Wow.
Edit: They have Sanders leading among women and Clinton leading among men in Registered voters. ????????????????
Another GOTV (get out the vote) drive? I'm tired already…
Only 9 more months of this shit to go.

we need to find those 10% who wouldn't vote and slap them upside the head
