9. Actually, they were mostly Clinton supporters!

He asked them who supported Clinton before the debate, about 3/4 raised their hands.
The group was from Florida...a swing state. I saw several blacks and Hispanics in the group, and m/f looked about 50/50. Pretty diverse, although youth were under-represented. I'd guess the 75% for Hillary prior to the debate probably is reasonable representation of her support here. Bernie is fairly unknown to public, and has made no stops here. So I'd say the focus group was a pretty good representation of Dem Florida voters. Post debate, a sizeable majority thought Bernie won. That is encouraging...with a bit more publicity and a few campaign stops he could be a greater threat in Fla than I had figured.
