http://www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-hillary-clinton-up-big-in-key-super-tuesday-states-georgia-texas-virginia/Just days before the Super Tuesday "SEC" Democratic primary contests, Hillary Clinton holds at least a 20-point lead in three of the key states -- Georgia, Texas, and Virginia. Majorities of Democratic primary voters in these states have made up their minds as to whom to vote for.
As the race shifts to the South, the Democratic contest will now feature states with larger percentages of African American voters - especially in Georgia, where they made up just over half of those voting in the Democratic primary in 2008. This year, while white voters are somewhat divided between Clinton and rival Bernie Sanders in these three states, three in four black voters are supporting Clinton.
Sanders maintains his a large lead among voters under thirty, but Clinton is beating him among voters between 30 and 44 in all three states, an age group that Sanders won easily in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. Clinton has an even larger lead among voters 45 and older. Men are divided between the two candidates, but Clinton has a strong lead among women.

(42,862 posts)... MANY more *BIG* wins in order to actually have a shot. I'm confident that Bernie will not be the nominee.
And I can say with great certainty that indeed this is NOT "just-like-2008".
Go, Hillary! We love you!

(94,716 posts)Weren't there millions of disaffected voters just waiting for someone like Sanders to support? That's what I heard here.

(30,481 posts)Clintons vote total almost doubled from that of the '08 Primary. It did show there was no groundswell of enthusiasm for Sanders.
While turnout is down, I don't think a lot of people thought it was going to go up. We have a good primary going here but it's nothing like '08. Obama came out of the early states carrying momentum like we had never seen before.
I don't think the low turnout or Clintons major increase in voters to the polls should be dismissed. But we aren't having moments like this and image is huge when trying to portray and build momentum.

That speech was simply off the charts.
