[DemocratSinceBirth]

Hillary Clinton dominates the Democratic field in Florida, where she receives more than half the likely primary vote and has more than triple the support of second-place challenger Bernie Sanders, according to a new poll.

The University of North Florida survey shows Vice President Joe Biden — who is flirting with a potential presidential bid — a distant third with just 11.2 percent of the likely Democratic vote. Clinton, the former secretary of state, gets 54.6 percent of the primary vote compared to 15.9 percent for Sanders, the Vermont senator.

“The Democratic primary in Florida is Clinton Country,” said Michael Binder, a UNF political science professor who oversaw the survey of 632 likely Democratic voters in Florida. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.87 percentage points.
