Poll: Will there be a debate before the CA primary?

We all know the debate saga.

1) The DNC originally schedules 6 debates.

2) Sanders, O’Malley, and others demand more debates but DWS refuses.

3) Then as the New Hampshire primary approaches and Clinton is behind in the polls, she suddenly wants an additional debate in New Hampshire.

4) Sanders agrees provided that Clinton agrees to another 3 debates, one each in March, April, and May.
So the question is;
Now that Clinton is on the verge of winning will she honor her commitment to a debate in May (before the California primary).

Since Hillary is going to win anyway, why she should break this simple promise?
If Hillary reneges on her deal then why should I trust her to keep any other promise?

A debate is completely unnecessary and helps nothing.

...but there was after Sanders kept saying there should be.

If Sanders is persistent about a California debate, then maybe.

See, in California we have no internet, no television, no newspapers or radio. I've heard rumor of this magic man from Vermont but as of yet we have no idea who he is or what he stands for. So it's crucial that Californians have a chance to see these two debate before we can make our critical decision that will have absolutely no impact on the race at all.

voters might want the current revision presented in a timely manner, in advance of their election.

and it's the one reason I'm disappointed that Sanders won't be the nominee.
