Clinton swamping Sanders in SC, poll shows
A whopping 71% of likely Democratic primary voters in South Carolina are leaning towards voting for Hillary Clinton, according to a new poll out on Wednesday from Winthrop University. Bernie Sanders takes 15% of the vote, while Martin O'Malley earns just 2%.
Clinton's support is even stronger in the African-American community, where she sweeps with 80% support among likely voters.
In Atlanta last week the Clinton campaign unveiled a nationwide "African-Americans for Hillary" initiative; she also spoke in the Palmetto State at an NAACP dinner last Friday.
"African-Americans can make up over 50% of the Democratic presidential primary vote in South Carolina, which is a much larger portion than you'll see in the Iowa Caucus or New Hampshire primary," said Scott Huffmon, the Winthrop polling director, in a statement accompanying the poll results.

I had completely forgotten that Leslie Nielsen was the Swamp Fox.
