With just five days remaining before the primary elections in Florida, Hillary Rodham Clinton leads by a wide margin of 38 points over her rival Bernie Sanders, based on support from the state’s registered Democratic Party voters, according to a new and exclusive survey commissioned by Univision Noticias and The Washington Post.


The former secretary of state has 64% of the intended votes among Florida Democrats who are registered to vote, compared to 26% for the senator from Vermont. Only 10% remain undecided, which suggests that Sanders has very little margin for bridging the gap.

Clinton’s dominance extends across the state’s ethnic groups, although it is much greater among minority voters, which may be reflective of these groups’ greater recognition of the person who once was the First Lady for eight years and a U.S. Senator for another eight years.

Among African American Democratic Party Voters, 79% support Clinton, and barely 13% are in favor of Sanders. Meanwhile, among Hispanics, Clinton has the support of 69% and Sanders has only 21%. Florida’s non-Hispanic Whites also favor Clinton, with 56%, compared to 35% for Sanders.

Clinton has been facing an image problem during the current presidential race, one that is reflected in low trustworthiness ratings. In a survey conducted by the Democrat public opinion polling firm Bendixen & Amandi and the Republican research and polling firm, The Tarrance Group, in this category, Sanders is ahead of the former Secretary of State.

Among Democrats interviewed, 46% state that the senator from Vermont is trustworthy, and only 39% have a likewise opinion of Clinton. Nevertheless, Hispanic voters in Florida believe Clinton is more electable and has more chances of becoming president than Sanders.

Among those interviewed, 65% state that the former Secretary of State has better personality and temperament for being president compared to 26% stating the same opinion about her rival.

A 53% majority believe likewise that Clinton is better suited for creating change in Washington, while 33% believe that Sanders is more suited. And Florida Democrats are showing much more confidence in Clinton for managing the economy (62% to 29%), immigration challenges (64% to 20%), terrorism (68% to 19%) and healthcare (64% to 26%).
