EPIC-MRA polls Democratic voters ahead of Michigan Primary

www.sodahead.com

Michigan Democrats like their presidential candidates.

“They have a very positive view of both Clinton and Sanders 80 percent favorable rating for Clinton 72 percent favorable rating for Sanders.”

That’s EPIC-MRA President, Bernie Porn. He explains that’s where the feel good ends. Among the 400 registered Democrats surveyed by Lansing-based EPIC-MRA, Democratic frontrunner Hilary Clinton maintains a clear lead 56 percent to Bernie Sanders 31%.

“Among absentee voters who have already voted which is about 15% when the survey was conducted Clinton leads 67% to 24% and when you think about that kind of a lead that’s a very tall hill for Sanders to climb.”

Yet there are some polls suggesting Sanders does well with Millennials. Older Michigan democrats favor Clinton.
