A new Market Resource Group poll out of Michigan gives Hillary Clinton a solid lead over Senator Bernie Sanders and Vice President Joe Biden, who tie for second place.
The numbers:
Clinton 41
Biden/Sanders 22
O'Malley 1
Chaffee/Webb 0
Undecided 12%

Clinton's strength comes from two key groups that have buoyed her numbers in other states- women and African American voters.
Among women, she holds a strong lead
Clinton 49
Biden 18
Sanders 16
The race is very close among men-
Clinton 32
Sanders 30
Biden 26
Among African American voters, Clinton's lead is even more dominant-
Clinton 55
Biden 23
Sanders 6
The race was not tested without Vice President Biden in the mix, but it seems likely that we would see the same dynamic here as elsewhere- if Biden does not run, Hillary has the most to gain.
Sanders continues to struggle getting the support of African American voters, once again finding himself in single digit support.
Michigan's primary will be held on March 8th, one week after Super Tuesday alongside Mississippi.
