With a 65 – 28 percent lead among black voters, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tops
Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont 53 – 40 percent among New York State likely Democratic
primary voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

“Black voters matter for Secretary Hillary Clinton in the New York Democratic
primary,” said Quinnipiac University Poll Assistant Director Maurice Carroll.
“She leads Sen. Bernie Sanders in many New York demographic groups except the
young folks and very liberal voters, but it’s a huge lead among black voters that gives her a
comfortable double-digit margin.”
“Gender counts, too. New York women like the idea of nominating the first woman
president.

There are some gaps among New York likely Democratic primary voters as voters 18 to 44 years old back Sanders over Clinton 55 – 36 percent, while older voters back Clinton.
Self-described “very liberal” Democrats back Sanders 55 – 41 percent, while Clinton takes “somewhat liberal” and “moderate to conservative” Democrats.
She leads 55 – 38 percent among women, while men are divided, with 48 percent for Clinton and 43 percent for Sanders, shrinking the gender gap which appears in Quinnipiac University surveys in other states.
White voters are divided, with 50 percent for Clinton and 45 percent for Sanders.
