New Poll of Virginia: HRC leads 60-33 over Bernie

The good polling news today just continues...

Democratic primary --
Hillary Clinton currently holds a sizable 60% to 33% lead over Bernie Sanders in Virginia’s
Democratic primary. In 2008, Clinton lost this state to Barack Obama by nearly 30 points (64% to 35%).
Clinton currently leads among both white (58% to 39%) and black (70% to 19%) voters; men
(59% to 37%) and women (61% to 31%); and voters age 50 and older (74% to 22%). The two candidates
are basically tied among voters under 50 years old at 46% for Sanders and 45% for Clinton.
“The ace in the hole for Sanders so far has been younger voters. But this group is not giving him
quite the same advantage in Virginia as it had in prior contests,” said Murray.
