HRC wins Maryland! (update)--currently leading 46-17 delegates in MD

[book_worm]

Maryland Racial and ethnic minorities lifted Hillary Clinton to an easy victory in Maryland, but she also won white voters in the state by a broader-than-usual margin, an unbeatable expansion of her support profile. Her position on gun control provided a further boost.

Blacks, Hispanics and other nonwhites accounted for nearly six in 10 Maryland Democratic primary voters, with blacks alone accounting for nearly half the total in preliminary exit poll results. Clinton won blacks by her customary 3-1 margin, and all nonwhites by about 40 percentage points. Notably, she also beat Sanders by about 15 points among whites, by far her best performance among whites in a non-Southern state to date.

Clinton won seven in 10 women in these preliminary results – better even than in her blow-out win in New York last week. Again notably, she also won men by a double-digit margin; as with whites, that was her best to date among men in a non-Southern state. Preliminary data indicated that she won white women by about 25 points in Maryland and ran evenly with Sanders among white men, both far better than her typical results this year.

Among her attractions, Clinton far surpassed Sanders – by 3-1 – on who would best be able to beat Donald Trump in November, by 2-1 on who’d best handle gun policy and even by more than 10 points on who’s the more “inspiring” candidate.
