Have you seen a poll showing Sanders leading Clinton in CA? If so, please provide the link.
The poll posted by the OP shows Clinton +6.

The only polls which show Sanders winning in CA are those in which he's running against Trump or Cruz.

Just winning them wouldn't be enough; he's so far behind Clinton that he would have to win them all by large margins in order to secure the nomination.

That is the most schizophrenic political position of the century and one that is simply incomprehensible to me. If a voter supports Trump, fine, it a voter supports Sanders that is fine as well, but to support the two antithetical candidates is not only illogical it is pure political lunacy.

I have changed my party affiliation to Democratic party, so I can vote for Sanders.

In general election, depends on the situation. If it is Trump vs Sanders, I'd flip a coin

If it is Trump vs clinton, then I will vote for Trump

if it is Cruz vs Clinton, I'd go with third party

If it is Cruz vs Sanders, I'd go with Sanders
Agreed. Anybody BUT Hillary.

Exactly.

Here is an article that explains why some people support both Sanders and Trump.

“Trump is an obnoxious vulgar blowhard who says foolish things. However, unlike Clinton – but like Sanders – at least he is an outsider who understands that the government and the economy are broken.”

a 34-year-old male IT technician, put it: “Bernie and Trump agree a lot on healthcare, Iraq war, campaign finance and trade. I really want to move on to something new, new ideas from outside the box. Maybe Donald Trump can provide that.”

A male medical emergency technician, 36, from Chicago, said he had watched the devastation wrought on areas of the city by job losses that in his view had been caused by free trade. “Donald Trump is the only candidate besides Bernie Sanders who cares about curtailing Free Trade. This is my only reason for supporting him if he makes if to November and Clinton is the Democratic nominee.”

Trump is not a conservative, Sanders is not necessarily a Democrat, the best from both world.

Anyone who is thinking about voting for Hil better understand that Bill showed how he and Hil both really feel about BLM. Anything else is pure cover. Neither cares for, nor respects the various sliced and diced, pandered to special interest groups. They are just a different target audience from which to harvest votes

I've asserted only that Hillary won't meet the delegate count threshold by convention time. Even including her outsized Democratic People's delegates that were allocated to her by the proletariat.

When that doesn't happen, internecine DNC convention intrigue isn't exactly avoidable.
