The two polls quoted here have interesting things that came out as I dug further into the links to the posts. 

The 33% number of Sanders voters that would not vote for Hillary would up being just a poll of Vermont Sanders voters only. 

The other poll from FiveThirtyEight correctly reprted the YouGov info but the graph was NOT from YouGov as it was altered by the author with his interpretation of what it would have looked like prior to March since March is first when FiveThirtyEight started doing this poll. The author DID note this in a footnote, but unless you took the time to read it, you would have thought the whole poll was from YouGov. As a side note FiveThirtyEight rates different polling groups and only gives YouGov a C+. This is not to say that their poll is incorrect, but more as a realization that ALL polls are not a true science. As a matter of fact if you read the YouGov poll it is not quite as damning as you might think,

BTW, FiveThirtyEight also had an interesting article and read titled
Sanders Isn’t Doing Well With True Independents

Wonder IF polls have been done on the OTHER SIDE to see just where the true conservative and Tea Partiers will go with Trump. Also add in what I would call the "sane Republicans" that went to Kasich. I think there is a likely good chance of voters in those groups looking for other alternatives or staying home as well. 

Guess the exit polls will tell a LOT after this "circus" is all over.
