Latest Florida poll--out tonight

FAU (Florida Atlantic University) found Clinton with support of 59 percent of Democrats with 31 percent for Sanders

She has a 28-point advantage in the new FAU poll, down from her 36-point lead in January. The latest RealClearPolitics average has her ahead by 34.2 points.

With four other big states holding primaries Tuesday, Sanders has effectively ceded Florida to Clinton. His only campaign appearances in Florida took place when he was going to be in the state anyway – the day before and the day after Wednesday's Democratic candidates' debate in Kendall.

Clinton leads 75 percent to 6 percent among Hispanics and 75 percent to 18 percent among black voters. Sanders leads 63 percent to 24 percent among voters 34 and under. She leads among all other age groups.

Most of this poll was conducted after Michigan--Unlike Bernie, Hillary doesn't "cede" any states.

If we wanted to vote for a different party or first time register for the primary, we had to have that done by February 15th, so no last minute changes to vote against Trump.

Here's some relatively up to date demographics. Scroll down for the ages.

6. Hmmm, 75% white. I'm surprised Hillary is doing as well as she is there.

It makes me not trust the rosy polls in FL. We must not take anything for granted after MI.

Lots and lots of white senior citizens who would be put off by Bernie's taxation/socialism. Lots of white Republicans too, who won't be voting in this primary.

Hillary is building a delegate count which is going to be hard to beat.
