New Quinnipiac Poll of FL: HRC: 59% Sanders: 33%
Quinnipiac and PPP give Clinton respectively a 26 & 25 point lead in Florida:
A huge lead among women propels former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to a 59 - 33 percent lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont among Florida likely Democratic primary voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
Women back Clinton 69 - 24 percent, while men go 47 percent for Sanders and 43 percent for Clinton, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds.
Likely Democratic primary voters 18 to 44 years old back Sanders 51 - 39 percent, while voters 45 to 64 years old back Clinton 64 - 28 percent and voters over 65 years old back her 73 - 21 percent.
Clinton leads among voters who describe themselves as "very liberal," "somewhat liberal" or "moderate to conservative."
Eight percent of Florida likely Democratic primary voters are undecided and 17 percent of those who name a candidate say they might change their mind before the March 15 primary.
Looking at the qualities they want in a presidential nominee, 25 percent of Florida Democrats most want someone who cares about their needs and problems, while 20 percent most want someone who is honest and trustworthy and 16 percent most want someone with the right experience. Another 15 percent most want someone who shares their values.
"This has been a turbulent political year, but the Florida Democratic primary looks like a blow-out. With her 26-point lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders, Secretary Hillary Clinton would have to undergo a political meltdown of historic proportions to lose this contest," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
