Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumLatest Florida poll--out tonight
FAU (Florida Atlantic University) found Clinton with support of 59 percent of Democrats with 31 percent for Sanders
She has a 28-point advantage in the new FAU poll, down from her 36-point lead in January. The latest RealClearPolitics average has her ahead by 34.2 points.
With four other big states holding primaries Tuesday, Sanders has effectively ceded Florida to Clinton. His only campaign appearances in Florida took place when he was going to be in the state anyway the day before and the day after Wednesday's Democratic candidates' debate in Kendall.
Clinton leads 75 percent to 6 percent among Hispanics and 75 percent to 18 percent among black voters. Sanders leads 63 percent to 24 percent among voters 34 and under. She leads among all other age groups.

Most of this poll was conducted after Michigan--Unlike Bernie, Hillary doesn't "cede" any states.

(8,013 posts)If we wanted to vote for a different party or first time register for the primary, we had to have that done by February 15th, so no last minute changes to vote against Trump.
Here's some relatively up to date demographics. Scroll down for the ages.

(8,013 posts)Lots and lots of white senior citizens who would be put off by Bernie's taxation/socialism. Lots of white Republicans too, who won't be voting in this primary.
