Clinton Opens up Huge Lead in Michigan (66-29)

EAST LANSING, Michigan --- In a poll conducted Sunday afternoon and evening before the start
of their CNN debate in Flint, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has opened up a huge lead
over Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders among Democratic Party Presidential Primary voters
in Michigan. Clinton leads Sanders 66%-29%, up from 55%-37% on Thursday night. Only 6% of
the voters remain undecided.

The IVR (Interactive Voice Response) automated survey of 475 likely March 2016 Michigan
Democratic Presidential Primary voters was conducted by Mitchell Research & Communications
Sunday afternoon and evening, March 6, 2016. The poll has a Margin of Error of + or – 4.5% at
the 95% level of confidence.

“Hillary Clinton (66%), fueled by strong support from women and African-Americans, has a
tremendous lead over Bernie Sanders (29%), Clinton is seems poised to win convincingly in
Michigan on Tuesday. She came into the state earlier than Sanders and she really made the
Flint water crisis her issue, adding to her already strong support among African-Americans, who
could make up a quarter of all voters,” Steve Mitchell, CEO of Mitchell Research &
Communications said

A Bernie supporter said the same thing except that Bernie had won the debate. But I agree with you I think HRC had a very good night.

She's got MI and MS.

And the nomination. Bernie supporters will whine that she's "anointed;" they don't realize that she's winning because people are voting for her.

But they will say we just don't know any better. They know what's in our best interest better than we do.

They ignore the writing on the wall, and that writing is in the universal language — numbers. The numbers aren't on Senator Sanders side. Not in delegates. Not in upcoming primaries. Not among African Americans. Not among Latinos. Not among women. Not among urban dwellers. Not in states with more varied populations. It's the numbers. It's the math. It's not on their side and they're in denial.
