Hillary Clinton has doubled her lead over Democratic rival Bernie Sanders over the last month, just one day before Super Tuesday.

In a new CNN/ORC International Poll of registered Democratic voters released Monday morning, Clinton now has 55 percent of the Democratic vote. Sanders has 28 percent, which gives Clinton a 27-point lead.

In the same poll in late January, Clinton led Sanders by 14 points — 52 percent to 38 percent.

Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and Wyoming all cast ballots on Super Tuesday.
