This is according to a new PPP poll and it's tough news for Bernie on a number of fronts.

Tad Stevens has tried to frame this in a rather dubious way by declaring that Hillary is just a 'regional' candidate as she cleaned up in the South but allegedly can't win elsewhere.
It's pretty weak tea as a spin and it also has the effect of yet again marginalizing Southern blacks who for some reason don't see the that Bernie is their savior like Northern blacks allegedly will see.
Meanwhile, the first test of this odd hypothesis is tomorrow and it's not looking so good as he is down over 20 points according to RCP averages.

Now Ohio has him down 21. This would seem to be the kind of state he might hope can be won over by his strident demonization of trade deals. But with 1 week out there is not much cause for optimism.
Here are the findings of PPP:
Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders 56/35 in Ohio, 74/14 advantage with black voters is key: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2016/03/trump-kasich-in-tight-ohio-race.html …

For the record she 'even' leads with white voters 52-41.
"81% of Clinton voters in OH are firmly committed, compared to 67% of Sanders voters. Clinton up 66/34 among those totally decided."

Sanders up 48/39 with 'very liberal' voters in OH, but Clinton up 62/33 with 'somewhat liberal,' 61/30 w/moderates: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2016/03/trump-kasich-in-tight-ohio-race.html …

He''s not winning over Northern blacks or even Ohio whites. Tad Stevens said he may rethink things soon. After Ohio votes along with Florida, North Carolina, Illinois, and Missouri on March 15, they will have to as they may well lose all five of these states by at least 20 points-on top of losing Michigan by 20 tomorrow and Mississippi by 50.
P.S. For some reason Fox wanted HRC and Bernie to do a Town Hall with them at 6 tonight. Let's see if these are all email and paid speech questions.
