New IL Poll: Hillary: 51% Bernie: 32%

DEMOCRATS For the Democratic presidential primary in Illinois, Clinton leads Vermont
Senator Bernie Sanders, 51 percent to 32 percent among self-declared primary voters in the state.
There are 16 percent who are undecided.
Clinton leads in Chicago, the Chicago suburbs and among downstate Democrats. She and
Sanders split the votes of men but she leads among women. And in a pattern seen in earlier
contests, Sanders leads with voters under age 35, but Clinton bests him with those over 35.
Clinton also holds a comfortable lead among minority voters.
The sample of 422 Democratic primary voters was also from the Feb. 15-20 statewide poll. The
Democratic results have a margin of error of 4.7 percent.
“With competitive national races in both parties, the Illinois primaries are shaping up to be
important in the battle for delegates – unlike some recent Illinois primary contests,” Yepsen said.
“What we couldn’t measure was any momentum – or deflation – candidates got from their
showings in the Saturday contests. One primary or caucus often does have an effect on showings
in subsequent contests, and I expect that’s at work in Illinois too,” Yepsen said.
