“Did anyone imagine Bernie Sanders ahead of Hillary Clinton in three major national polls, and almost tied in others, by mid-April of 2016?” asks journalist H.A. Goodman.

After once being down by more than 50 points:

Bernie Sanders is ahead of Clinton nationally in the PRRI/The Atlantic poll, 47 percent to 46 percent.

Bernie Sanders beats Clinton nationally in the McClatchy-Marist poll, 49-47 percent.

Bernie Sanders is also ahead of Clinton in the Ipsos/Reuters national poll, 49-[48] percent.
