Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumWashington Post-Univision Poll: HRC up 68-21 among hispanic voters in Florida
Clinton holds a lopsided 72 to 16 percent lead among nonwhite Democrats in Florida, including a 68 to 21 percent lead among Hispanic voters, who were oversampled in the survey and weighted back to their appropriate share of the electorate. Among whites, Clinton leads by a smaller, though still substantial, 22 percentage points.
Overall Clinton leads Sanders (Vt.) 64 to 26 percent among likely Democratic primary voters in the state, buoyed by the states older electorate who trust her to handle a range of issues.

(38,437 posts)... was the open primary. With Hillary supposedly having a huge lead, some HRC supporters may have voted "not Trump" on the GOP side, and some Republicans may have crossed over to disrupt on the Dem side. Who knows for sure...
But I agree -- not feeling real secure about these polls. Once bitten...

(6,095 posts)Nearly 2:1 lead. They make up 8% of voters.
I knew NC would be close, but where'd you see this?

(6,095 posts)It is no longer small!
The Latino population in NC is roughly one million, nearly 60% natural born, significant percentage naturalized. 8-10% of total population, maybe 8% of voters given a big registration push. Census estimates. (There are sites claiming exaggerated "illegal immigrants" percentages.)
Various polls. Most recent poll just out from WRAL. I posted elsewhere. 8% of poll was Hispanic. Don't know what turnout will look like.
BTW Sanders is polling slightly over 25% among AA.

Hillary holds a 54 point surplus among AA's, who tend to vote more often & in greater numbers than Hispanics, will be enough to overcome her leads with the groups where she holds a 4:1 advantage. She'll be powered to victory by the same groups that handed her overwhelming wins in SC & MS. I don't expect a 40 point victory, but it will be double digits.

(31,207 posts)expected to win that one. We just have to redouble our efforts going forward. Donating, phone banking, etc. I'm much more confident that the numbers here in NC are much closer to the reality on the ground.
As for the poster making assertions about Latino voters, I can't seem to find his numbers anywhere else. But, even if they're true, Hillary's dominance with all the other groups portends badly for BS in NC.

(6,095 posts)I was one of those polled. I think Clinton has a solid lead, but nothing like that claimed for the second half of the polling.
I think there might be a problem with last day of their polling, not just with the Sanders/Clinton part. Some of the other items polled seem "off" also. I don't know what was going on since I don't have the full data.
It looks like what can happen when you are sampling at the end to get enough samples in each of the required sub groups. It can also happen with certain types of oversampling.
Almost anything can taint a survey. Sampling during the Duke-Carolina game or the Downton Abbey finale.
