Brand Spanking New Palmetto State Poll-Clinton 64% Sanders 14% (WOW)





Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has a massive lead over Bernie Sanders in South Carolina, according to a new poll.

Clinton has 64 percent support in the Palmetto State, with Sanders at 14 percent, a Clemson University survey found Thursday. The state's Democratic primary is Saturday.

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

Clinton has maintained huge leads in the State for months. An October poll by Clemson found Clinton with 43 percent support and Sanders at 6 percent.

those who look for religion in their candidates as a lifelong Methodist, i.e., sincerely religious. Large numbers of Hispanics, blacks, other minorities, and of course conservatives are religious and this matters a lot to them.

This is seldom pointed out, but when people wonder why Hillary is so well liked, or maybe just can't believe how Bernie could lose to her, for certain blocks this is a big factor.

look for valid reasons for positive feelings they don't share.

Regarding SC, irritatingly, many in the MSM, accepting with Bernie's withdrawal that she would win, are claiming she would "lose" their expectations game if she lost by less than 20% or some such thing. In other words, denied a horse race, they have her running against herself and she can still "lose" their rigged-up game. Oh, well.

Tough times ahead for Bernie. Things aren't looking good for him. He'll be throwing-in the towel very soon.

Based on these trends, it will be an upset if Bernie even gets a vote in South Carolina!
