Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumDetroit Free-Press Poll of Michigan HRC: 56% Bernie: 31% (bigger lead among absentee voters)
The poll, done for the Free Press, WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) and their outstate polling partners, shows Clinton with a 56%-31% margin over Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont. Even that numerical advantage doesn't fully convey the strength of her candidacy among Democratic primary voters in Michigan, however, given that she has leads among most demographic groups of age, income, race and geography in the state.
I think shes well positioned (to win Tuesday), said Bernie Porn, EPIC-MRAs pollster, who also noted that Clinton has an even higher lead 67% to 24% among absentee voters, who could make up a sizable portion of voters. It will be very difficult for Bernie to make inroads.
And Clinton also appeared to have locked down much of her support. About 73% of respondents said they already were very certain of their choice. And of those, 67% were backing Clinton. As was expected, Clinton also has an edge with black voters, 66%-14%, but also was winning with white Democratic primary voters 55%-35% an edge that if it held up Tuesday, could signal a landslide.
