After a big win in New York, HIllary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders by a wide margin in Maryland ahead of the primary there Tuesday. | AP Photo Poll: Clinton up 25 points in Maryland

Nearly 6 in 10 likely Democratic primary voters in Maryland support Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders ahead of the state's Tuesday election, according to the results of a Monmouth University poll released on Thursday.

While Clinton earned 57 percent support, Sanders took 32 percent, and 10 percent are undecided between the two candidates. Those results are largely in line with recent polling, including an NBC 4/Marist survey conducted earlier this month, which found Clinton with a similar 26-point edge.

Clinton leads among all demographic groups, including men (59 percent to 32 percent), women (56 percent to 32 percent), black voters (64 percent to 20 percent), white voters (52 percent to 39 percent), voters over the age of 50 (64 percent to 25 percent), and notably, among voters under the age of 50 (50 percent to 39 percent), where Sanders usually thrives.

Regardless of who the Democratic nominee is, 87 percent in the reliably blue state said they would support Clinton over Donald Trump, while 83 percent said the same for Sanders in the same matchup.

Maryland has 95 pledged delegates up for grabs on Tuesday, to be allocated proportionally, based on the candidates' shares of the popular vote.

Monmouth conducted the poll via landlines and cellphones from April 18-20, surveying 300 likely Democratic primary voters drawn from a list of registered voters who participated in either of the last two primary contests, both of the last two general elections or who have registered since 2014. The margin of error is plus or minus 5.7 percentage points.
