Clinton is up 48 percent to the Vermont senator’s 42 percent – a tighter race than the 53 percent to 36 percent that the previous Poll of Polls found just before the Iowa caucuses.

Superdelegates were created in 1982 to “improve the party’s mainstream appeal” by giving party insiders more influence and reduce that of “activists”, as Brookings Institution’s Thomas Mann and AEI’s Norman Ornstein wrote in 2008, when Clinton and Obama were also battling it out for superdelegates.

The spot offers a glimpse of an empathetic and emotional side of Clinton that she has sometimes struggled to put across on the campaign trail.
