Bernie Sanders made one last attempt at wooing New York voters tonight, on the eve of the state's primary at a waterside rally in Long Island City's Hunter's Point South Park.

The underdog candidate trails Hillary Clinton by double digits and is likely to lose the Tuesday contest he admitted tonight is 'enormously important,'

He told his backers tonight that doesn't have to be the case, though. If there's a large turnout tomorrow, he'll win.

'Tomorrow let us all do everything we can to make sure that New York state has the largest turnout in a Democratic primary in its history,' he told them. 'Tomorrow New York can help take this country a giant step forward for the political revolution.'

Sanders hugs actor Danny Glover after the actor's introduction of him at tonight's rally

Sanders sported a hoarse voice as he addressed his supporters following an introduction from actor Danny Glover and a performance by Brooklyn-based band TV on the Radio.

The rawness in his throat was evidence of the tough campaign he's waged against Clinton over the last two and a half weeks in the state they've both called home at one point over their lifetimes.

'Thank you! You all look beautiful!' he told thousands of young people who came to hear him. 'And you all look like you want a political revolution!'

Sanders mocked those who have been criticized him 'for thinking too big' and said he's 'just a wild and crazy guy' as he drove home his opposition to fracking, his support for a $15 minimum wage and a pay raise for women and advocated on behalf of union members striking union members in the audience.

'This is a campaign on the move,' he said. 'This is a political revolution sweeping America from coast to coast. This is a movement getting the establishment very, very nervous.'

The U.S. senator has erased Clinton's national advantage and now runs within two points of her, having won the last eight of nine contests and turned the momentum his way.

But Clinton leads comfortably in New York and is anywhere from 10 to 17 points up on him, polling shows.

His campaign hoped a debate in Brooklyn last Thursday that it demanded would enhance his chances. An Emerson poll taken over the weekend indicated that was not the case, however, and Clinton was ahead by 15.

If he loses tomorrow, it won't have been for a lack of trying, though. Sanders held rallies upstate and all across New York City as he went after the state's 247 delegates.

More than 60,000 people came to see him at events that targeted to his college-aged base and featured performances from popular artists, including Vampire Weekend, as well as speeches from Danny DeVito, Spike Lee, Rosario Dawson, Justin Long, and other celebrities who have endorsed his campaign.

'Wonderful reconnecting w @janeosanders & Bernie at the #NYforBernie rally. New Yorkers: make sure you vote tomorrow!' Glover tweeted after the rally.

The U.S. senator, depicted in a cardboard cut out, has erased Clinton's national advantage and now runs within two points of her, having won the last eight of nine contests and turned the momentum his way - but it may run out before New York votes tomorrow

He spent the day talking to voters at retail stores and visited picketing Verizon workers.

All the while, his campaign launched a new assault on Clinton's over her fundraising efforts, suggesting today that a joint fund with the national party that both candidates were free to make use of may violate campaign finance laws.

'As the race seems to be turning against him he has decided on a new strategy of false attacks like this on Secretary Clinton's character that we think have dangerous implications for the race ahead,' Clinton's campaign manager told reporters tonight in response.

Prior to the debate Sanders went to war with Clinton over qualifications after she suggested that he's not ready to lead the country.

New York City's First Lad Chirlane McCray mocked him today in a sing-songy voice said it's clear from his campaign's rhetoric he's 'getting desperate.'

'They know tomorrow could be, should be, will be a huge win for Hillary,' McCray told a ballroom full of women at the New York Hilton Midtown.

Clinton trotted out a slate high-powered women in Manhattan to help her close the deal today, and they went after Sanders in full force.

Former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Planned Parenthood President Cecille Richards convened at the Women for Hillary event that also attracted McCray, a last-minute addition to the line up.

Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney said Sanders 'only talks about one thing - income inequality - and Clinton, a former secretary of state, is the real deal.

'Tomorrow we're going to elect a Democratic nominee, who's going to be the first woman elected to the presidency of the United States,' Maloney said.

Clinton did not mention Sanders directly, but she reused a line from her Thursday debate against him and said, 'It is easy to diagnose the problems plaguing America - we need solutions.'

She said 'some people have commented' and said 'enough with the plans Hillary' and told her to go out and make some speeches.

'We don’t want to hear any more plans,' she said. 'Now, don’t talk too loudly, but don’t talk too softly.'

Sanders will head to Pennsylvania in the morning and will rally supporters there at two events before the results in New York are finalized. The scheduling move suggests the writing is on the wall for Sanders, even though he kept a brave face tonight as he talked to his supporters in New York City

She told her audience, 'I want you to know that for me, this election is not just about me. It’s about an agenda that we present to New York tomorrow, that we present to the country, that we vote on – because that will give us the chance to actually make the progress we all want to see.'

She has a light public schedule going into tomorrow's election - the mid-afternoon Women for Hillary event was the only item on it - but she's not been static.

Earlier in the day she stopped by a restaurant in Queens, where she had a bubble tea after she and her former Senate colleague Chuck Schumer and greeted potential voters.

Clinton also said she also stopped by a car wash in the borough.

Tomorrow she's has a speech on the docket in Washington, D.C., but she'll be back before the polls close.
