This previous Ipsos/Reuters poll was showing a much closer race (49 - 44). Clinton has now opened up a +14 gap in their latest poll (54 - 40). +9 for Clinton since their last poll. This mirrors the last few national polls showing Clinton increasing her lead.
The TPM tracker graph is showing Clinton on the rise. +17.4 average for Clinton.

FiveThirtyEight has updated their pledged delegate totals and Hillary now has a +197 lead (609 - 412). This pledged delegate lead is larger than Barack Obama had at any point in 2008. Super Tuesday turned out to be better than expected.

The NYT’s Nate Cohn sums up the real hurdles that Mr. Sanders faces to win the Democratic nomination and that Hillary is well positioned to win the nomination.

But if the race continues as it has to date, Mr. Sanders will suffer serious losses over the next two weeks. Mrs. Clinton could approach or exceed 80 percent of the vote in Mississippi and Louisiana. She could win 60 percent of the vote in Michigan, a state where black voters represent an above-average share of the electorate. Mrs. Clinton would be poised for a clean and decisive sweep on March 15, when five big states with large numbers of black voters — Illinois, Missouri, Florida, North Carolina and Ohio — cast ballots.
Even then, Mrs. Clinton will not have a majority of pledged delegates. Only half will have been awarded. But Mr. Sanders would need to win by around 20 points from that point on to catch up.
The results Tuesday show that outcome is highly unlikely. There is no progressive majority for a “political revolution” in the Democratic Party without the support of black voters.
