According to the just released by the new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times - among those most likely to vote, based on their voting history and stated intentions this time around, Clinton led, 49%-39%. Her standing is bolstered by the reliability of her older supporters, who have a proven record of casting ballots.
She also leads convincingly among registered Democrats; 53% of likely Democratic voters supported her, to 37% for Sanders. Throughout the year, she has carried party members in every state but Sanders’ home state of Vermont and next-door New Hampshire, where he won in a landslide.
Interesting to note: The Vermont senator has battled Clinton to a draw among all voters eligible for the Democratic primary, with 44% siding with him to 43% for Clinton. That represented a nine-point swing from a USC/Los Angeles Times poll in March, in which Clinton led handily.
