New SC Poll: HRC on way to huge victory up 64-14

Still lots of undecideds.

CLEMSON, South Carolina — Hillary Clinton will win Saturday’s South Carolina Democratic primary by a wide margin, according to the results of the latest Clemson University Palmetto Poll.

The survey of likely voters showed 64 percent said they will vote for Clinton and 14 percent for Bernie Sanders. Twenty-two percent said they are undecided. The margin of error is plus or minus 3 percent.

The telephone poll of 650 likely voters was taken between Saturday and Thursday. The Palmetto Poll respondents were those who said they plan to vote in this election and have voted in two of the last three statewide primaries.

The Palmetto Poll results show she will do better in South Carolina than in any other state.

“After a razor-thin victory by Clinton in the Iowa caucuses, a blowout by Sanders in the New Hampshire primary and a small victory margin by Clinton in the Nevada caucuses, Clinton is perched on the cusp of her own significant primary victory in the Palmetto State,” said Bruce Ransom, a Clemson political science professor and c-director of the poll.

If a 22 point difference between Bernie and Hillary in NH is a blowout, what would a 40- 50 pt difference, as this poll suggests, be called, perhaps a detonation of the Bernie Sanders campaign?

He'll be here tomorrow, in Orangeburg at Claflin University -- an HBCU -- and later in Columbia for a rally and concert at the Township Auditorium where I plan to be with fellow supporters

So now if Sanders gets 31% it's a big loss for Clinton, right? Just adopting the Clinton logic here for the fun of it.

Bernie will be here in Columbia tomorrow where his message resonates with a lot of us just as it did in the upstate at Greenville last Monday.

HRC is counting on the sheeple listening to Clyburn (3rd wayer), Bakari (political aspirations in search of a quid pro quo) and other 'leaders'

That pattern will repeat itself in the primary...and the problem is obvious.

I am blown away by these numbers!

Too bad that in order to get these numbers they've excluded many who haven't voted in the ladt three primaries... Since PBO had no challenger last time that includes the 2000 primary!

Leaving twelve to sixteen years of voters out of Bernies strongest demographic is a real honest move.

This is a laughably desperate grasp at delusion...!

I'm old enough to remember how everybody mocked that Clemson poll because it predicted a 50-point Clinton win

but will South Carolina vote for her in the general? They've voted Republican since 1976.
