The Post-U. Md. poll shows Clinton leading Sanders 55 percent to 40 percent among likely Democratic voters.
Maryland is seen as a Clinton stronghold because of its proximity to Washington and because more than one-third of the Democratic electorate is African American, a group that has heavily favored the former secretary of state this year.
She leads Sanders among black voters 63 percent to 33 percent, according to this weeks Post-U. Md. poll, and among women 60 percent to 35 percent. Clinton has even larger advantages among moderate and conservative Democrats (63 percent to 30 percent) and voters ages 50 and older (66 percent to 26 percent).
Mirroring many primaries so far, Sanders performs best with those who are younger, leading Clinton with voters under age 40 by a margin of 61 percent to 38 percent. Sanders runs roughly even with Clinton among white Democratic voters, 46 to 47 percent. The self-described Democratic socialist leaned on a winning margin among whites in each of his four state victories where exit polls were conducted.

(15,951 posts)Republican disaffection with Trump is one reason for Clintons 63 to 28 percent margin over the GOP frontrunner in a head-to-head matchup. By comparison, Obama beat GOP nominee Mitt Romney by 26 points in the state in 2012.
Just over seven in 10 registered Republicans (72 percent) say they would support Trump over Clinton in such a contest, while 87 percent of Democrats who outnumber Republicans in the state more than 2 to 1 would support Clinton.
Clinton also leads by 59 percent to 27 percent among political independents
