New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is outpacing Illinois Sen. Barack Obama by 21 points among likely Ohio Democratic voters, states to a poll released Feb. 14.
Clinton was favored by 55 percent of the 564 Ohio Democrats who participated in the Quinnipiac University poll, compared to 34 percent for Obama.
The institute, which conducts regular polls of Ohioans' attitudes on candidates and issues, questioned more than 4,000 likely voters in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida earlier this month about their presidential leanings.
In Ohio, Clinton did well among women (56 to 34 percent over Obama). She led 64 to 28 percent among white Democrats, while Obama lead 64 to 17 percent among black voters, the poll shows.
"If Clinton can't win the primary there, it is very difficult to see how she stops Obama," Peter Brown, assistant director of the Connecticut-based institute.
