That's a very generous poll but anyways it's irrelevant. At this point nothing is going to overcome the crushing delegate math. Sanders could win every remaining poll by a landslide (which is not happening) and still won't be the nominee.
The convention won't even be contested because what Bernie fans think a contested convention is, isn't what a contested convention is. They think turning up at the convention with not enough *pledged* delegates makes it contested, not so. Before Sanders gets to have his say, before all the Bernie supporters get to put their points across, the super delegates get to vote, 3 TIMES. If in the first ballot (as expected) Clinton gets the majority - she's the nominee. If no one gets a majority in the first ballot they vote 2 more times, if still no majority a "contested convention" is called and ALL delegates pledged and super are released and they get to make a case. There's also never a contested convention with only 2 candidates, someone always ends up with the majority. Contested conventions only occur with 3 or more candidates in the race.
It's over. There's no viable way he can win. He needs to accept defeat with Grace instead of causing in-fighting within the party.
