Joe Biden endorsed Hillary Clinton in a 9-word tangent
Analysis of the Guardian poll results by SurveyUSA also hints at more positive support emerging for Clinton among the most dedicated Sanders supporters - findings that may reassure Democrats anxious about reuniting their party after a sometimes bitter primary contest.
And finally, in the race to win Sanders voters, there is Donald Trump himself.
Clinton is all but assured of it, because she has received most of the endorsements of the AFL-CIO’s member unions. The protesters shouted “Stop hate!”
Trump was scheduled to address a conference of evangelical leaders across town Friday.
Trump, meanwhile, continued calling Clinton, “crooked Hillary” and referred to her ongoing email scandal.
The poll came only a day after President Barack Obama officially endorsed Clinton’s bid for the White House, further assuring her position as the party’s nominee after a bruising primary battle with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

Elizabeth Warren backs Clinton and bashes Trump.
Once a voter leans in one direction, strong cognitive biases reinforce that direction: We all tend to listen with (at least) open minds and to give the benefit of the doubt to candidates we support, and to close our minds to those we oppose, even to the extent of finding them strongly repellent by November. “Now these questions are not hypothetical”, Clinton added.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity to confirm the private meeting, first reported by The Washington Post. Her Democratic rival is still in the race for next week’s final nominating contest but says he will work with the former Secretary of State to defeat Trump.
