UNF Poll reveals Hillary Clinton holding on to her lead in the Democratic Primary race.
A new University of North Florida (UNF) statewide poll of likely Democratic Primary voters
reveals that if the Florida Democratic Presidential Primary were held today, the majority of
respondents (54.4 percent) would vote for Hillary Clinton. Clintons support percentages are
very similar to her UNF October 2015 poll results (54.6 percent). While Bernie Sanders trails
with 24.2 percent, this is an increase from the 15.9 percent who chose Sanders in the October
2015 poll. <snip>
Among likely Democratic Primary voters, 72.2 percent have a favorable opinion about Clinton
and 64.6 percent hold a favorable opinion about Bernie Sanders. Of the leading Republican
Presidential candidates, Marco Rubio is viewed more favorably (22.7 percent) than Donald
Trump (17.7 percent) or Ted Cruz (13.9 percent).
For African American likely Democratic Primary voters, Clinton has a sizeable lead over Bernie
Sanders with 66.5 percent to 11.9 percent. Among women, Clinton also holds a large lead over
Sanders, 58.2 percent to 20.3 percent.

Florida although a southern state cannot be dismissed as full of "Red state conservatives" and doesn't matter come the general election.

It's a Southern state and those voters are dumb and their votes don't matter.

(20,450 posts)6. Looking forward to Maryland, but my primary isn't until April 26th.
All the dumb, non-Southern voters are supporting Hillary too.
(Note: I'm not sure who I'm voting for yet, but I don't like what the Sanders people are doing at all. And I'm turned off by Sanders himself for calling my people down south dumb! many of my family members had their heads bashed in by racists. They deserve to vote however they fucking want to.)

(24,689 posts)7. Yeah, I am a Marylander as well.
I wish we were voting tomorrow with the rest of the Super Tuesday states.

Blue state, the primary is so far down the road.

(7,393 posts)8. I can't wait to caucus for her
As for Sanders and his campaign it appears their strategy is if it ain't working just do more of it. He's run a terrible campaign, IMO.
