In California, a strong racial divide splits Democrats.

Among white voters, Clinton was running about even with Obama. But among the state's large Hispanic population, Clinton was ahead by better than a three-to-one margin – 68 percent to Obama's 18 percent. Among blacks, it was the opposite, with Obama leading Clinton 67-16 percent.

Coker said Obama will "get some Chablis-sipping liberals up north, and blacks down south," but Clinton's "trump card is the Hispanic vote."

Clinton also was scoring high among women, with half supporting her to 31 percent for Obama. Sixteen percent were undecided on who to vote for. Men tilted to Obama 43-38 percent.
