Among Alabama Democrats, Hillary Clinton has an enormous lead over Bernie Sanders, 78-percent to 10-percent.
The Alabama primary is March 1, 2016.
3,500 people statewide responded on August 11 to the telephone poll. It has a margin of error of two-percent.

Of course, you all know Alabama is 2 to 1 Republican to Democrat. That won't change without substantial entries in the obituary columns.
We are going to help deliver a Hillary nomination March 1 - the SEC Primary - and we are going to help give Hillary an easily beaten Trump in November. The easily beaten part will be up to the rest of the country, but y'all can get 'er done, right?
See, Trump is very popular in Alabama as described by political consultant Jon Gray of Strategy Research:
He says what he wants to say, said Gray in explaining Trumps popularity. He doesnt worry about who hes going to offend. He doesnt worry about the words coming out of his mouth. Hes communicating a message. And in Alabama, thats historically how people in Alabama have been.
Oh, he's got that right! We rarely think about the words comin' out of our mouths!
What Donald Trump brings to the table is his unique flavor. Hes very confident. Hes a celebrity. Hes very comfortable in his own shoes. Jesse Ventura, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a very famous president Ronald Reagan, all were celebrities who were comfortable with speaking their mind, even if people disagreed with them.
Gray says the poll shows there is no clear cut top challenger to Trump at this point.
NASCAR is a great analogy, said Gray. Theyre all trying to pull out and theres some drafting behind Donald Trump and theyre waiting for an opportunity. But theyre not on his bumper! Theyre a long way away.

Thank you, Jon Gray. Sums it all up in a way I can understand!

Once the Alabamans hear Bernie's socialist message, Alabama is going to turn blue .. I mean ... independent! All he needs to do is let them hear him - his words are powerful!

I was wrong. The unrelenting right wing spew of filth reaches the beyond.

Hillary at 78%.
Senator Sanders (I-VT) at 10%.
Everything indicates a return of the old Solid South for Hillary this Democratic primary election.
