NBC-Marist Poll: HRC up 60-32 in South Carolina

In South Carolina's Democratic primary — which will be held on Feb. 27 — Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders among likely voters by 28 points, 60 percent to 32 percent. That's down slightly from Clinton's 64 percent to 27 percent advantage last month.

In the current poll, Sanders leads Clinton among white Democrats, 51 percent to 46 percent. But Clinton crushes him among African Americans in the state, 68 percent to 21 percent.

Even among African Americans under the age of 45, Clinton is ahead of Sanders by 17 points, 52 percent to 35 percent.

It won't last, even if it's accurate. Once Sanders wins Nevada the momentum is going to carry him forward. Hillary will probably win SC but that margin is going to close. The more Bernie wins, the more coverage he gets, the more people find out that there is an honest, authentic alternative to Clinton. Time to feel the Bern.

Can't wait for fake news polling which will show AA's jumped ship and are swimming to the other candidates.
Q's polling will show it as well, and propaganda corporate media will boast it 24/7 . . .

If she wins by less than this then she must have been losing support.

Thanks for raising expectations. Keep up the good work.

And if she has a big day on Super Tuesday it will probably be too much for Bernie to recover. I think we will look back on this and SC will be seen as the turning point to Hillary's nomination and ultimately her victory in November.

Yet Sanders supporters will act shocked when he loses in South Carolina and not by a narrow margin.
