With
about a month to go until the Michigan primary, Hillary Clinton holds a
commanding 32-point lead over Bernie Sanders in the Great Lakes State,
according to a new poll.
The
Inside Michigan Politics survey found Clinton with a 62-37 percent lead, with 7
percent undecided.
"Women
of all ages in Michigan are standing behind Clinton right now," said Ed Sarpolus,
director of Target Insyght, the firm that conducted the automated poll.
"Sanders has a major hill to climb by March 8. He didn't get an Iowa
bounce."
"Even
if he scores big in the New Hampshire primary next week, as expected, Michigan
still looks to be tough sledding,” said Susan Demas, editor and publisher of
Inside Michigan Politics. “And 76 percent of Clinton's voters here already say
they're committed, while only 53 percent of Sanders voters do."
On
the Republican side, Iowa also seems to have had little impact on Michigan
primary voters. With the help of a plurality of evangelicals, Donald Trump has
shaken off his disappointing second-place finish in Iowa and leads the Michigan
pack by double digits at 35 percent.
The
GOP contest here shapes up as a three-way race between Trump, Ted Cruz (25
percent) and Marco Rubio (19 percent), as the other five candidates are lagging
in single digits.
