She carried all counties and won across all demographics, income levels and educational attainment levels. The key to Clinton's success, however, was an 89-11 showing among African American voters, who made up 71% of the Democratic electorate in the state.http://www.cnn.com/election/primaries/polls/ms/Dem 2016 Election Center CNN 2016-09-24 Mississippi gave Clinton her largest win in any state during the 2016 primaries.http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/26/politics/hillary-clinton-alabama-political-anthropology/index.html Southern liberals have a fondness for Hillary Clinton Jeff Simon, Vanessa Yurkevich and Contessa Gayles CNN 2016-09-24 References 30em Mississippi Democratic primary 2016
